Hello

My device is the following model.

Can these updates be used for it?

My device has a problem. It restarts automatically, and after the start, the sound stops and the device freezes and the rear camera does not work.

I have to disconnect the power from the battery to reboot, and it will be fixed.

Will the update solve this problem?
[Android Head-Units] AML276:
Has anyone managed to enable developer options for this unit?

Also, the firmwares offered here don't seem to be rooted from what I can tell. Is there a way to root the unit?

And lastly, I side loaded an app the other day but didn't find an icon for it, so I tried an icon creating app as well as a website that generates a shortcut APK to install and neither of these seem to show up either. Has anyone got a solution for creating these shortcuts?
[Android Head-Units] dj.shauny.g:
This is the way i tried but had no success. However the SPFlashtool method looks fairly complicated. Could really do with a step by step
[Android Head-Units] LV426-Prime:
I think i've read this thread 3 or four times now!

I simply cant get the headunit to recognise the firmware on the USB.

I've trashed the system .. i have no volume keys anymore Bluetooth wont work correctly,

I made the mistake of upgrading the mcu to the current one posted here. for the AC8257

I think mine is a bosion 1200 x 600 4g octo the way i can identify it, is the home button on the side is 6 little dots rather then the house icon,

Anyway not sure what to do now? I'm still trying every possible way to put the files on the usb, in folders/ zipped/ unzipped/ renamed to update just about anything i've seen on youtube that shows an update vid.

I'm thnking i may need to do the laptop route? although some of you have upgtaded successful via USB.

I'm almost at a stage dropping 800 bucks on a T'eyes cc3 .. at least they have regular updates and a place to find the correct firmware?

Any ideas on why it wont find the firmware?

If i put the MCS file on a usb i can access that via the system update function.

but when i do the update from local it does the reset then just boots like normal (slow)

any guidance would be very much appreciated , Ive just dropped about 5 k in stereo in the thing and now i have no tunes or nuthin .. That'll learn me for playin around hey?

i had to buy a usb-a to usb-a cable then use spflash to change firmwares
[Android Head-Units] LV426-Prime:
yes i followed quite a few of your posts, I was hoping i didn't need to do that , but I just checked again and it still wont recognise the firmware on the USB.

Going to try 1 more USB and if that doesnt work i'll be looking for a cable, i know i have one here somewhere!!
[Android Head-Units] scousemartin:
if its not recognizing the firmware then its not compatable with your device
[Android Head-Units] vz_commo:
I spend days doing this, only solution and was painless and fixed my issues was buy the cable and use spflash
[Android Head-Units] dj.shauny.g:
Mines the same mate. Its SPflashtool method only but i dont know how to do it myself
[Android Head-Units] dj.shauny.g:
This is not true. I got sent the firmwarw from my seller and is is compatible. Its just the unit wont accept the update. Really terrible units, should of saved my money really but desperate time = desperate maeasures.
[Android Head-Units] dj.shauny.g:
Can somebody please do a simple step by step on how to update the unit via SPFlashTool please? So we can all update our units and be happy?
[Android Head-Units] LV426-Prime:
Ok here's an update!!

finally got it to work, not 100% sure what did it ... BUT

I used a different USB stick (I used an older one i use with my cnc router)

I also used the firmware from here and the instructions

*https://goautoradio-gps.fr/pages/mise-a-jour-sur-autoradios-golf-7*

But heres the catch ... I was doing these same instructions for the other firmware so 1 of 2 things were the issue

1 - the USB wasn't compatible - i have other devices that are touchy with USB's so not completely unexpected. (yes they were all formatted Fat32)

2 - the format of the firmware on the USB which was 1 folder named ATCUPG (unzipped) although I did try this on previous attempts with out success.

My issue ... which is why i attempted this is the first place

this version is only Android 10 so no wireless Android Auto

but it does have 6 GUI's available

I might attempt again using the old USB stick - and the more current (Android 11) version firmware and see if that works?

I guess no harm if it isn't recognised as no update will happen.

I did however work out where my problem arose!!!!

*** For those about to attempt ***

do not update only the MCU with the latest update if your firmware is a bit older.

there are obviously incompatibilities between the Firmware versions and MCU updates

ask me how i know :)

I couldn't get the firmware to load, so, I did the MCU update .. which then stopped the passive buttons from working(no volume control etc), phone couldn't connect correctly,

SWC was recognised but did not work and no audio output at all! OH and the no fast boot thing vz_commo was arguing with.

I tried many different methods and versions of firmware to get it running again, but I couldn't get it to find the firmware on the USB once it did the 'reboot'.

So FYI, try many USB sticks first if you have the same issue that i encountered.

I was on my 3rd USB before it worked!! (this may be your issue)

In the end you may just need to update via the SPFlash method

I guess, like ALL the instructions say to do ... update the firmware FIRST then the MCU

Good luck to those giving it a go!

the people here are very helpful and a wealth of information!

Thanks again!!
[Android Head-Units] LV426-Prime:
Oooo an Update on the update

I just remembered ...

I read and not sure if it was on here or elsewhere.

If you wish to sort of ... bypass the whole android auto thing, you can use (on a samsung phone)

Bixby Routines

setup a routine that when your phone connects to the headunit via BT (which you choose one from your paired bluetooth devices in bixby), you can then tell you phone to turn on the wifi hotspot!

and when you turn off your car and it drops the bluetooth link, Bixby turns OFF the hotspot on your phone automatically!

So once you create all the necessary password connections from phone hotspot and car wifi etc it all happens automatically and flawless.

So now you dont need to connect your phone to the head unit as .. being an Android unit you just load all the apps you have on your phone that would normally be accessed via AA to your headunit - so soundcloud, audible, waze etc etc etc

and the fact you have a link to the WWW and internet all those streaming apps are connected just like if connected to Android Auto...

And its wireless

uses the same data

as a bonus automatic updates happen sooner (yes more data will be used here)

and it works on most Android versions

I know some of you will already know this but for those that dont it sorts out a lot of "should i upgrade so i get wireless Android Auto" questions and doubts.

just saying ...

Lets face it ... there's no real down side to it.

also if you've installed a Qualcomm 3amp fast charging USB port to your vech or a wireless charging pad you actually get fast charging as you no longer need to plug into your headunit, just use the cable to charge your phone when you need to.

(the headunit only charges at maybe 1 amp? probably less as it takes a bloody long time to charge my phone)

[Android Head-Units] LV426-Prime:
FYI - Latest Update worked first go on the old USB stick

no problems!!
[Android Head-Units] dj.shauny.g:
I also updated the MCU first, this may be my problem now….however all buttons work on my unit so not a massive issue for me right now. Is it possible to downgrade MCU? Can you tell me the make and model of your USB drive? I will buy one if possible. Thanks for sharing your information.
[Android Head-Units] LV426-Prime:
OK so the USB is an old Sandisk Cruizer Dial USB only 16gig.

formatted as FAT32 (default ) and 8k allocation size

unzipped the files to ATCUPG folder in the root of the USB

went to the upgrade section on the headunit it did the reboot thing and in the boot screen it has the flashing text come up on the left side over the top of the startup logo.

It does take a while and looks like it has stalled when installing the system.ini file

just leave it and wait.

it reboots again - leave the usb in ... it wont try and install again!

then just start your customizing ..

quick note the hotspot will default as being activated, you can turn this off in the factory settings area in the carplay options, also will need to turn off carplay in the general section.

then if you do my bixby thing you wont even need Android Auto (that is if you have android and not apple)

I'm not sure if you can down grade the MCU but if you just install the latest firmware it all works out in the end.

Mine did!!

Hi to everyone! Someone say where can i find these firmware for Mini Cooper? Thank's
[Android Head-Units] scousemartin:
Regardless if the seller sent you the firmware, it clearly is corrupted or incorrect firmware. I have exactly the same device and the versions of firmware posted on here, worked fine
[Android Head-Units] dj.shauny.g:
The firmware he sent me was the same one from this thread so i highly doubt it is corrupted or incorrect if everybody else has been successful installing it. It must be down the the usb stick or the head unit

[Android Head-Units] dj.shauny.g:
I ordered the same USB as you have, with a bit of luck this will be the one that works!!

Just a quick one before i update, is there any differencd in the lastest update over the very first one on page 1?

Wondering if i should just go for the latest one maybe?
[Android Head-Units] dj.shauny.g:
Turns out mine wont work with the USB you suggested. Absolute nightmare these units im sorry i ever installed mine. Is there anything specific you done to get the USB to boot? Renamed the folder or anything? Just cant get mine to run at all. Wondering if it has anything to do with the USB setting on the unit?
[Android Head-Units] taona04:
HI everyone. I have one of these systems. My problem is when i insert a USB, an upgrade page automatically comes up. It recognises MCU but not the firmware. When i got to upgrade and reset, it just asks to reboot without the option for me to select img option. Am i getting something wrong or is this the USB issue people are talking about?

I have attached images in this order. 1: Device info, 2: The automatic upgrade screen that shows up, 3: The Upgrade & Reset upgrade option that goes straight to restart.

Please help, what am i missing here
[Android Head-Units] taona04:
Well what do you know, it turns out it was the USB issue after all. So for those having their USB's not being detected, it's because it won't work with USB2.0 and above. What you need is a USB1.1 or maybe USB1.0. Everything works including fast boot, wireless android auto etc. Except radio for some reason but i never listen to it anyway
[Android Head-Units] dj.shauny.g:
Yours is the same as mine bro, i will keep you posted if i ever get mine updated….seems like the impossible task at the moment
[Android Head-Units] dj.shauny.g:
This is possible as i have not tried such an old USB! They dont even sell them anymore in my country so this is a complete joke if this is the case. I cant understand why a head-unit that runs android 10/11 would use a 1.0/1.1 USB to update? That sounds like total maddness to me, especially because the settings are factory set to 2.0 on the unit. However multi flash drives later i still have no updates unit so you could be right.
[Android Head-Units] taona04:
So here's my conclusion. I had an older model with a USB port on the front of the screen and the USB cable in the back like these. When i used the front USB port, it worked and charged the phone. When i used the back port, it work and charged the phone like a USB2.0 would but the moment android auto was activated it didn't charge the phone anymore. It actually seem to very very very slowly discharge the phone.

As these units only have the back cable USB ports, it's the same. You get fast charging on your phone if you are not using android auto, the moment you start using android auto, it won't actually charge the phone. It's as if it can't supply certain amount of volts while reading.

So my conclusion is power. USB 2.0+ require a bit of power to operate at those speeds. However it seems USB1.1- doesn't require that much power. So when it's booting, the USB is not receiving enough power to be read.

Using that theory, a microSD adapter that's in USB form but not USB3.0+ compatible should work because it's low power.

This is NOT an ANSWER, this is just an attempt to find a solution by process of elimination
[Android Head-Units] dj.shauny.g:
I suppose in your case this seems plausible. However, my USB cables from the back of the head-unit while connected to apple car play will charge the device also, which would mean they are USB 2.0 or higher? I have messed around with the USB settings in factory and changed to 1.0, 2.0 and 3.0 and head-unit still can’t seem to read the USB flash drive upon booting, very strange as it will read the USB flash drive fine while the unit is switched on. Maybe your SD card theory will work, i will try that as a last resort. I also would like to try a USB 1.0 flash drivebut i am having difficulty sourcing one here in the U.K. I am unsure if the issue is actually with the booting stage, as there seems to be no recovery mode for these units that I am aware of?

Very strange units, seller has no idea either!
[Android Head-Units] taona04:
So in regards to Apple, remember iphones devices didn't really fast charge until recently, that's because they're charging system has always been capped to USB1.1 charging system. So even on my device when using Aaple carplay, charging was not an issue.

You might have to resort to that SPFlash method.
[Android Head-Units] dj.shauny.g:
I was thinking this, however i will try the easier methods over SP flash tool first. Just seems odd to me some people have had success with virtually the same unit and others havnt, i am determined to get to the bottom of it. I think u might be right that it needs a 1.1 USB, however somebody had luck with a 2.0. Very strange
[Android Head-Units] taona04:
Hi @duvshi, if i'm having fast boot problems on a 1024x600 non IPS that has 2610pro+, do you recommend this?

For some reason that app doesn't work when installed separated. For some reason it only seems to work when it's installed with a firmware update / upgrade
[Android Head-Units] noiwid:
Hi, I had exactly the same issue (see the 1st post of this thread), USB key was recognized for MCU, not firmware update, I fixed it by installing from a Micro SD Card, what did the tricks!
[Android Head-Units] noiwid:
Hi,

You should try with a Micro SD card...
[Android Head-Units] noiwid:
Hi,

Did you first manage to connect your phone to Android Auto with wire ?

I think you need to enable the link with wire, before being able to use it wireless.

That said, let you give you my point of view on Android Auto.

I've struggle hard to get it working wireless, and now it's set up, it's more a pain that a benefit.

When you have such car unit, it's totaly useless to use Android Auto that is a tiny version of Android, that don't allow you to use all apps, and has many restrictions. You better install same apps on your car unit, and set up an easy internet sharing from phone to car unit wireless (Phone & car unit bluetooth autopairing, a bixby routine on Samsung can autoenable the wifi hotspot, and your car unit will then autoconnect to it).

The only downside is the Wireless QI app that provide Android Auto keep turning on automaticly when the car unit goes in real sleep mode (after a few days), so I need to manually turn off from time to time the wifi hotspot feature of the car unit, that block the car unit from using a wifi network.
[Android Head-Units] taona04:
Mine worked with an old USB1.1. I'm about to update to your version which is android 11 not android 10 because i stared having issues with no quick boot
[Android Head-Units] taona04:
Another thing about android auto, it seems to use bluetooth and wirelessAP at the same time
[Android Head-Units] noiwid:
yes, I confirm!

Explainations below (source : https://9to5google.com/2022/05/28/android-auto-bluetooth/)

How does wireless Android Auto work, if not through Bluetooth?​

There are two ways to use Android Auto in your vehicle. The most common method is using a USB cable. The cable plugs into a port on your car and then to your phone. On connection, the phone will register with the car and start Android Auto.

It would seem like this would eliminate the need for Bluetooth, but the connection is still used. In fact, most cars will automatically pair with your phone over Bluetooth – if the two aren’t already paired – the first time you establish a wired connection. This is because, when you’re using the wired version of Android Auto, phone calls are still directed to your car via Bluetooth instead of through the wire. That wire is used for transmitting the data you see on your car’s screen as well as music.

This is also why turning off Bluetooth on either device will prevent the connection. You can’t stop Android Auto from turning on Bluetooth because it’s a necessary function of the system.

The story is a bit different when you’re talking about wireless Android Auto, though. Bluetooth is still used in largely the same capacity as the wired version – to transmit phone calls. But, there are two key differences.

First, no data is transmitted over a wire when using wireless Android Auto, but instead of using Bluetooth, the system uses Wi-Fi Direct for music and data. Phone calls are the only thing going over Bluetooth when the system is in use.

The main reason that Android Auto Wireless uses Bluetooth is to establish a connection each and every time you enter your vehicle. Your car and phone will connect over Bluetooth, tell each other that wireless Android Auto is supported, and start the system. In a car that natively supports wireless Android Auto, this is handled by simply pairing your phone to your car.

With a wireless Android Auto adapter, there’s another layer added in. Your phone will pair to the dongle, whether that’s AAWireless, Motorola MA1, or another. After being paired, the dongle will start up the Android Auto system. It then will pair your phone to your car’s Bluetooth to handle phone calls and then disconnect Bluetooth from the dongle.

Interesting twist, the old USB didn't work this time nor did a newer one. As i don't have an SD card slot, i might try to SPFlash method

I don't think so!

Hello, i tried with an SD card first….no luck there either

Any idea where i can purchase a USB1.1 in UK? Seems they are discontinued here for USB2.0 minimum. Becoming a nightmare to flash the unit

Please let me know how you get on with this. I may have to go down this route also but have no idea how to do it.

Is there a upgrade available for this head unit ?
[Android Head-Units] taona04:
Ok, so i finally got it working. I used the flash tool. I was able to install 2610pro( not pro+) and The android 11 version from the beginning of the thread to see the differences. So here's what i decided to do

Because of the confusion and all. I decided to write a step by step guide on how to use the flash tool and made a video of the flashing process. I even found an easy way to install the drivers required. I have created a folder that has all the required things you need that i will be sharing. I have even relabelled the Firmwares as Android10 and Android11 so you can know which one you want. What's the difference in the firmwares, it boils down to personal preference.

Android10 (2610pro) Provided by @duvshi

This one has arguably better looking UI options. And some apps seem to be slightly newer as this was released in June compared to March for the Android11

It missed certain features i liked mainly the ability to manually set when the screen deems and turns the bluelight off, and an option to close individual apps from the memory

Android11 Provided by @noiwid

Also has 6 UI options to choose from but they are not as nice as the android10 ones(yes they are different).

It's a more generic version so it doesn't have the Target label.

Overall, everything else works well. Yes even fastboot works flawlessly. I ended up going for the Android11 one. Anyway, here's the link. Let others know if it all worked out for you.

Hi there!

Is this upgrade also usable on my B200? Settings tells me:

Android Version: 10

Hardware Information: B200 - Core 8 - ROM 64GB - LPDDR4 - RAM 4GB - 768x1024

Kernel Version: 4.9.117+ #525 Wed Dec 15 12:19:37 CST 2021

OS Version: BHDG0112-PH7 - 2.1.2 - 20211215 - N4

MCU Version: STM32 - 20220319-11-BD2

CAN Version: H1N4GMF6LA-211224

I currently have problems when the unit reboots where it gets stuck in a bootloop for varying amounts of time until it just suddenly boots and Carplay wireless works barely unless I restart the whole unit (but that causes the bootloop issue so not ideal). I'm hoping that an update will fix these issues but the only update I could find for the B200 are in this thread.

My unit is turned so the resolution is 768x1024 which doesn't seem to be supported in the update
[Android Head-Units] apacatia:
Hi there!

I'm having a bit of trouble with this recently purchased new unit photo in attachment.

When I turn on the car the hot spot turns on by itself, the radio turns on by itself.

The touch screen sometimes freezes/it seems that the touch coordinates no longer match or the system freezes I don't know which of the two, and then resumes normal operation after many minutes.

I can't configure the "XINBAS" can bus module because they are written in untranslated Chinese.

It fails to connect with my fully functional blutooth ELM OBD2 module with other devices it "doesn't see it".

I've tried to contact Bosion but I'm getting emails with automatic replies that don't address my issues.

Is there any update I can do?

Thanks for any response
