I´ve found this inside the boot_init.sh:

#set usb mode to device mode on boot according to usb debug property

USB_DEBUG_PROP="persist.sys.qf.usb.debug"

for try_time in $(seq 1 15)

do

usb_debug=`getprop ${USB_DEBUG_PROP}`

prints "usb debug==${usb_debug}"

if [ -z ${usb_debug} ]; then

prints "${try_time}, getprop ${USB_DEBUG_PROP} is empty"

else

if [[ ${usb_debug} == "true" ]]; then

prints "usb debug mode enabled, set usb mode to device"

echo "device" > /sys/devices/platform/soc/soc:aon/5fff0000.usb/musb_mode

else

prints "usb debug mode NOT enabled, set usb mode to host"

echo "host" > /sys/devices/platform/soc/soc:aon/5fff0000.usb/musb_mode

fi

#getprop has value, break check

break

fi

sleep 1

done

#####################################################################################

So according to this the usb mode is set by the usb-debug option. But at least for me this does not work as intended. My unit is in usb-debug-mode but still an usb host. Maybe a different usb-debug property is meant than inside the developer menu.

Edit: i was able to set the device mode via adb shell:

echo "device" > /sys/devices/platform/soc/soc:aon/5fff0000.usb/musb_mode

But i don´t get a connection to my PC yet. Will keep on trying.

I have an ossuret s8, I think it's the same, the last firmware that the seller sent me was this

That's referring to device properties. From a root shell, 'getprop persist.sys.qf.usb.debug'.

Init.usb.configfs.rc and init.usb.rc have what looks to be relevant information. I played around with props a bit but didn't have much luck. Specifically, I haven't been able to do any of this:

Excellent! Thanks mate.
[Android Head-Units] Clyde72:
Now I recall what happened, besides opening nav and start navigating GA wanted to create a routine to have music too but it is limited too YT or Spotify but I wanted an FM station so I dictated "radio & Klara" (a station) but I got Google search result on... "Klara", "FM & Klara" got me to Google Play store etc etc.

I was already driving and tried randomly to shut GA down but I don't remember how. Nav continued and I manually selected Klara on FM...

For those wondering why I tossed Topal, it doesn't support Dutch, GA e.g. does
[Android Head-Units] Clyde72:
Though I'm not that experienced in Android tech it seems to me more logic to update with matching mcu & firmware version like 1612 in the second links than trying to update with 1612 mcu & 2812 firmware e.g.

Thx for your post. Now I'm convinced on trying to update to 1612/1612 on my S4. Will prepare an Udisk for it right away. Quite confident it will work as I still believe DSP version doesn't mather at all. Fingers crossed.
[Android Head-Units] nyp42:
I'm not so sure the MCU is different based on unit version (S2, S4, S8, etc.) either but there is something that is incompatible because sometimes it refuses to load the MCU.

I'm curious to hear how it goes for you because the first set of files I tried last night was supposed to be for an S4 but refused to load the MCU.
[Android Head-Units] nyp42:
Didn't they already send you an update once? Did they just decide you are asking too often? lol

For people contacting the vendor for an update maybe instead of just asking for update files try saying you are having an issue. A good one might be "Spotify keeps playing when I receive a phone call". It's a know bug addressed in the change log that @blue_one posted.

It's a real shame that the vendors/manufacturer aren't making these update files freely available. The software team is putting in some serious work fixing bugs and adding features. Even some of the built in launchers in the newer versions are quite good. If the music plug-in works with Spotify (haven't tried on new firmware yet) I might start using one of them.
[Android Head-Units] Clyde72:
I'm planning on giving it a try with my vendor by saying the Toppal hobbit has completely disappeared without a trace :-)...
[Android Head-Units] nyp42:
I noticed in the latest update that there is an option in Car Settings to change the boot animation. It's in a different spot than the Change Boot Logo option.

Maybe the answer is in the link you posted @popamor but would the boot animation just be a .GIF of the same dimensions as the boot logo?
[Android Head-Units] wujek_p:
Can these buttons be set? :rolleyes:
[Android Head-Units] MauriBixio:
Yes this.

Use radio utility for setup\assign functions for this buttons.
[Android Head-Units] MauriBixio:
Android boot startup animation

Thanks to a user of this forum (if I'm not mistaken,thanks to him) who described how to create your own custom Android boot animation.

Video :

In the next few days I will make my own custom boot (BMW) and first boot logo, then if anyone is interested, upload it to the forum.

For make zip Android bootlogo animated, easy,better to use the package here, I think created of another user of this forum (thanks to him) attached.Beta5 version.
[Android Head-Units] MauriBixio:
Minute "23

S8 have "similar" utility on board for setup left menu buttons...
[Android Head-Units] wujek_p:
I set. The buttons work again. Thank you! (y)

What about speakers?
[Android Head-Units] Astralech:
Reset or power off and buttons will work.
[Android Head-Units] wujek_p:
No, it didn't change anything. I had to set them as MauriBixio wrote.
[Android Head-Units] Astralech:
When I uploaded the new firmware with the deletion of the settings, the buttons did not work, and the assignment option was not active. After reboot the buttons worked.
[Android Head-Units] shadxw:
How did you change the logo ?
[Android Head-Units] Lione2:
Hello,

are you able to set dark mode automaticaly when you use android auto ? It doesn't work for me
[Android Head-Units] Meteordust:
Look at the first post of this thread, it is explained clearly.

Original boot logo is a 8 bit BMP file, made mine the same, only 602 kB.

BTW almost all car brand boot logo's are hidden in the firmware, weird Jitu firmware is not showing them in the menu for changing the boot logo, if you want a car brand related logo I can share it, extracted the firmware or can easily made with Photoshop in a few minutes.
[Android Head-Units] Costi979:
I bought a few months ago this tablet and I like it.

I have some issues with the build microphone (noise because of the fan I am using, I saw some solutions reading these pages, I will try to fix soon) but the main problem is with the speakers. After updating, sound become very bad, the amplifier and bass box is very loud and sounds like is broken, I didn't had these problems before update. Sound was great, clean and accurate.

I could not fix it using equalizer, I don't know what to do about. Is the model with 4 GB RAM and 64 GB intern memory.
[Android Head-Units] MauriBixio:
The first test I would do, if before everything was ok with the sound,downgrade to the previous firmware and MCU...it is necessary to be more precise, however, on the radio model, current firmware and MCU.
[Android Head-Units] Lione2:
Feel like i'm getting the same issue about sound getting a bit distorted randomly.

What's the fix about build microphone?

My wife just got S5 too, and no issue for her car excepting radio sound is bad.

No issue with built in mic, but we didn't connect the fan
[Android Head-Units] Clyde72:
It is Toppal Security on App Store, my bad. But maybe you can get the Toppal AI apk if you ask Hizpo. Just tell them about the voice SWC button not working since the January update they've send you...
[Android Head-Units] MauriBixio:
I have reported this to them several times, but in my opinion they don't know how to fix it.

Hizpo always replies, they are effective in this, but at most they know how to send files for firmware and MCU ... their technical stuff does not seem very competent to me.

In any case today I reported the problem to them again, let's see what happens.:unsure:
[Android Head-Units] zonek96:
Cóż, dobrze trafiłeś, ponieważ długo szukałem rozwiązania. Problem w tym, że android w naszym radykalnie jest bardzo okrojony i nie można bezpośrednio nadawać uprawnień poszczególnym aplikacjom. Ostatnio kupiłem córce s5 i sprzęt innej firmy. W tym moim radiu bez problemu da się uprawnienia iz yanosikiem w tle problemu nie ma. Jednak tutaj w ustawieniach yanosika trzeba mu dać ustawienia autostartu po starcie i autostart z google maps dalej w ustawieniach. Najważniejsze jednak jest podane tutaj, a następnie żądana ikona pojawia się sama po każdym uruchomieniu systemu

. S5 ustawiony tak dwa razy pod yanosikiem. Pierwszy raz około 2 miesiące temu podczas pierwszej konfiguracji, a drugi raz kilka dni temu gdy musiałem wgrać najnowszy soft z czyszczeniem danych. Za drugim razem zapomniałem o tym filmie i byłem trochę zdenerwowany, zanim sobie przypomniałem. Przetłumacz tekst z google translate z powrotem na polski.
[Android Head-Units] MauriBixio:
With these units it is better to use the external microphone, positioned near the driver's head, rather than the integrated one.

There is the specific MIC connector on the back of the radio, at least on the S8...

Ideal would be to use a microphone with cancellation of background noise and echo, but I must say that even the cheap one that comes with the radio performs very well.
[Android Head-Units] Clyde72:
And now start over and put Google Translate to English 😅
[Android Head-Units] TomZol13:
Thanks a lot. This is what I needed.
[Android Head-Units] Clyde72:
Use the search function and search this thread for "mic" to find all info on mods. The unit has design flaws regarding mic functionality. Do the same for "radio".
[Android Head-Units] zonek96:
ok, sorry, I have set automatic translation from English to Polish, I did not pay attention to how it went. I do not know if anyone else interested in the application yanosik in another country outside Poland.
[Android Head-Units] zonek96:
Well, you've come to the right place, because I've been looking for a solution for a long time. The problem is that android in our radically stripped down and you can not directly grant permissions to individual applications. I recently bought my daughter an s5 and third-party equipment. In this my radio without a problem can be permission and with yanosikiem in the background there is no problem. However, here in the settings yanosik you need to give him autostart settings after startup and autostart with google maps further in the settings. However, the main thing is given here, and then the desired icon appears by itself every time you start the system. S5 set so twice under yanosik. The first time about 2 months ago during the first configuration, and the second time a few days ago when I had to upload the latest software with data cleaning. The second time, I forgot about that movie and was a little nervous before I remembered. LINK
[Android Head-Units] Lione2:
Oh latest manufactured unit are impacted to? I will check for that thanks
[Android Head-Units] Costi979:
This is what I am trying right now, looks like it's better than before.

Probabil in the future I will replace that mic with another one, bigger.

The fan I am using is a little bit bigger than original one (I didn't received one with the unit), 12V. Works ok, but it is a little bit noisy. That is the reason I am not having a good quality sound on calls.
[Android Head-Units] Johan0503:
Trying to upgrade or downgrade my HU, whichever version I am using the installed version the HU came with remains (QF001.20230204.182948_v3.26_02) The MCU that was on it (QFO1.V01.72.20230204.002121) was able to replace it in the hope that I could change the firmware. Any options?
[Android Head-Units] MauriBixio:
Mini Hub USB 2.0 4 ports

I can successfully confirm that if you want to expand a one USB port to 4 ports on your radio (Sx series) it is useful to have multiple devices connected using a single USB socket e.g. TPMS-DAB etc. we can use this USB 2.0 mini-hub:

Digitus-DA 70217

I use it without problems with S8 radio, it is recognized and managed correctly.

it is also possible to supply a stabilized +5v external power supply to this hub, but I absolutely DO NOT RECOMMEND doing this. Remember that the peripherals connected to the 4 available sockets MUST absolutely NOT exceed a total max 500mA available from the radio on the USB bus, divided by the all 4 USB sockets, or you will burn internal components of the radio.
[Android Head-Units] MauriBixio:
Try one of this economic mic,work well for external mic.

Ali seller...
[Android Head-Units] Clyde72:
Understandable. Thx for correcting it.
[Android Head-Units] Clyde72:
For the latter models with upgraded mobo can't tell for sure. Please compare and maybe report back.
[Android Head-Units] Clandaries:
I also thought about so solder a bigger mic onto the touch panel. But i think a bigger hole would also be better.

I had a Dasaita with bigger hole and the internal mic was fine.

My wife had a Dasaita with smaller hole and i had to install the external mic
[Android Head-Units] Clyde72:
Probably won't change much. Internal mic & external mic are connected in parallell and internal mic introduces noise when using an external one. Even fan noise. There are mic mods in detail to be found in the thread. Oldest posts going back months and months ago.
[Android Head-Units] Costi979:
... I will remove the mic from the main board and I will solder the external one. I think this will solve the problem. Of course, I will use a connector between the wires.

I did not solved the problem I have with bad quality of the speakers. I am waiting for next update, I don't want to downgrade, because this new version came with many useful stuff.
[Android Head-Units] yoyo linuxien:
Hi, my S3 is stuck on the "Powered by Android" screen. I didn't do anything it was working this morning... Any idea how to solve this problem please ?
[Android Head-Units] Clyde72:
For those interested. Whilst driving just an hour ago I did an short recording to demonstrate mic quality after modding.

My mic is sitting in the roof/overhead fixture in between the front seats. Not even that close to my head.

I was doing 80-85 km/h on a winding rural two way road. FM is playing at volume level 11. I was also vaping (inhaling/exhaling) which is the slight distortion heard as my mouth is closer to the mic then the front speakers are obviously.

Fan is also running but can't even be heard when music is on.

Firmware is the latest btw.
[Android Head-Units] balkanera:
Dies it work with s3 hipzo?? Or is 1920 720 display resolution?? I have a Mercedes ML and my Firmware is Not the best if i change dsp settings nothing happens in sound… only normal equalizer change sound.
[Android Head-Units] wujek_p:
I found a solution. It wasn't described in the manual. One of the loose wires is labeled AMP-CON. It should be connect to +12 V. The car amplifier started. It's just a bit too loud, because the signal from the speaker outputs goes to the low-voltage inputs of the BOSE amplifier. A special converter must be used, which is not included in the set. I had such a converter in the previous radio (EONON). Similar one on the photo.
[Android Head-Units] Clyde72:
@MauriBixio

You could answer this one
[Android Head-Units] Johan0503:
Does anyone have any idea how i can fix this?
[Android Head-Units] balkanera:
Are your dsp settings also dead and Sound Doesnt change ??? OnlY normal Equalizer Change Sound But soround Sound Bass filter change nothing

[Android Head-Units] MauriBixio:
TOPPAL AI (we are talking about the Standard version, I have this one, exclude the purchase of the Base version) has 34 UNIQUE voice commands, to be pronounced exactly to act, they are basically in the EN language, but Toppal has support for other languages, and the commands are translated afterwards a little indecent... but if pronounced exactly as expected, Toppal does its job very well + (and here I answer your request) it also manages to start EXTERNAL apps on the radio, which are not the classic Maps or Google or Youtube .. .

Example: if I say "TPMS" he starts the TPMS app, if I say "DABZ" he starts the "DAB-Z" app, but... he may often NOT understand exactly the name for external app runs, I warn you to this.

It's not always sure if it can understand UNImplemented commands of the 32 by default. And external apps need to have short, few-letter names for Toppal to understand.

That I know, in addition to the 34 commands, it can interact at the max for external app runs, but it CANNOT understand or do anything else.

TOPPAL AI Pro:

same thing, but in addition to the 34 commands, it has others to manage "online" functions, such as Maps search, online music search, etc.

Pro is certainly much more complete, it contains all the functions of the Standard version + the additional ones for "on line" function, but remember, Toppal is NOT intelligent like Google AI or Siri!

Definitely:

I am satisfied with Toppal AI, I think it is worth what it costs.

If you want to know more... just ask.

[Android Head-Units] MauriBixio:
The screen I see is not normal if it appears after an attempt to update.

Maybe you have updated FIRST the MCU?

Right order is FIRST to update Firmware then MCU, and you need to be sure that the update files are right for your unit.

If you did MCU first, now you might have serious trouble resetting things...
[Android Head-Units] MauriBixio:
I don't really care about DSP function... but also I, who have S8 8GB/128GB, don't feel real evident changes if I work with DSP settings... equalizer obviously works, but this is normal, DSP should actually do much more.

DSP: BU32107

Radio: TDA7708
[Android Head-Units] balkanera:
Yes a lot more… Not my First dsp radio and in This car dsp can a lot more… realy more bass…

Which mcu and Software? Finaly a update can change this .. any Solution from others with same problem??
[Android Head-Units] MauriBixio:
Usually the blue cable called AMP CON (Amplifier Control) is an OUTPUT +12v and NOT an INPUT, and serves as a Remote on to turn on an EXTERNAL amplifier, and in some German brand cars, it is used to power the Diversity antenna ... in my S8 for example it also powers as default the small fan to cool the unit.
[Android Head-Units] Clyde72:
Thx
[Android Head-Units] :
What update are you trying to install? I had a similar problem when I wanted to install the update from 14/04/2023. But I managed to install. I checked the "checksum" option before updating and it helped. You can try.

Someone wrote that you can't install the MCU first, but that's probably not true because I did it once and nothing bad happened.
[Android Head-Units] popamor:
What S model do you have? I think the 2121 ending is for the S5-S8 models if I am not mistaken.
[Android Head-Units] Clyde72:
He has an S8 via Hizpo so that is ok

ah. that is a weird screenshot. I have not seen that before.
[Android Head-Units] ghost_kato:
Hello,

I found a problem with the non-functional mapping of the steering wheel buttons. Skoda rapid 2014, last fw.

Canbus works, steering wheel controls work, but can't change the buttons to other functions. Every time I click on a function in the factory mapping settings and immediately on the button on the steering wheel, the function does not change, but activates the current function.

Maybe I'm doing something wrong. The physical buttons on the radio can be changed normaly.
[Android Head-Units] Johan0503:
I did the firmware first, also tried different ones that were suitable for my S8, and then got the screen as well.

Then I updated the MCU file to see if it would make a difference.

Yes, I do indeed have a problem with resetting now, but hope to get this resolved.
[Android Head-Units] Johan0503:
Update 1

20230414 also tried 0408 and every update before till 0104.

I tried with checksum but no resuls.

The first file 20230414 i used it on the other HU also a Hizpo S8 and it did update without any problems.

So I used the same zip file on this HU the first time, no i didnt checked checksum the first time i tried to update. But after the first time i checked checksum with every update i tried and it wont let me update.
[Android Head-Units] Johan0503:
Yes S8 (Hipzo)
[Android Head-Units] Johan0503:
As I wrote in previous posts, I'm having trouble updating and I'm getting a notification.

"Recovery version 7.2

I want to try to upload the FactorySet file because i think mine is corrupt. Is there anyone who has a S8 HU and willing to export FactorySet from the HU and then share the QF map with me? Then I can import it to my HU hope I can do a full reset then It would be of great help to me.
[Android Head-Units] balkanera:
I Update now from autofather Last Firmware and mcu … checksum fail so i deactivated the check and install it without check
[Android Head-Units] :
If your device has two USB ports, try using the second one. You can also try using a different flash drive. Sometimes that helps too. Another time I was copying zip files from my smartphone to a flash drive and there was the same problem. But copying the zip file using PC computer helped.
[Android Head-Units] :
Ok. But I wrote about the update dated 14/04/2023.
[Android Head-Units] Johan0503:
already tried but thanks. I always copy files using laptop
[Android Head-Units] :
Well, I don't know what else can help. I had exactly the same error message as yours when trying to update with date 14/04/2023. But as I wrote before, checking the "checksum" option solved the problem.
[Android Head-Units] balkanera:
I dont know before which Update This was. I only See it now. Where i can find this one?
[Android Head-Units] :
And now I have this.
[Android Head-Units] :
Someone posted here on the forum. You have to search the posts. I don't have a link sorry
[Android Head-Units] Johan0503:
I know but i tried that and it didnt work.

I add a screenshot this is with checksum.

I see you have 8G ram, so also S8.

Maybe you can help me by export the factorySet and share it with me.

Go to Factory 8888 then 26 Export FactorySet copy to USB its A QF folder.

That would be helpfull.
[Android Head-Units] :
The checksum looks the same so the update should go ahead. I think it's a bug in the zip file. I don't have time to do an "export factory set" right now. Maybe I'll try a little later, but I don't think it will help
[Android Head-Units] Clyde72:
That is a known buggy fw and that is why checksum check failed to begin with. If checksum fails don't update is the wisest way to go...
[Android Head-Units] Johan0503:
I tried several zip files also used them on my previous S8 unit and they worked, so i dont think it's a bug.

Well i appreciate if you try. its ok i understand you don't have time right now, a little later is good. Its worth trying. Thank You.
[Android Head-Units] Clyde72:
Did you update from 2803 to 1404 when that happened? 2803 was buggy, I even aborted that update as soon as I saw the checksum fail... A fail is a fail after all even if the numbers seem to match.
[Android Head-Units] :
Yes it was an update from 28/03 to 14/04. I did this about two weeks ago. 04/14 is slightly better than 03/28 but not perfect. Also contains errors.
