mcu_202206071001BD2-1559.upd

and unfortunately it was not possible to detect this update from USB (made according to the video, unfortunately, in my options it is not possible to select the update, it only looks for it after selecting the update option and resetting the device)


I changed the UMC to the one that came with this firmware:


mcu_202206071001BD2-1559.upd


Unfortunately, after this operation, my FM RADIO stopped working, I tried to change the options, unfortunately, nothing helped until changing the MCU to another mcu_202211111001BD2-1157.upd. After this operation, the FM radio started working properly.


I found another update on another forum:

Link to the forum

>>> Link to the forum <<<

Firmware 8257 4+64 WIFI na 2021.08.05 ATCUPG


This software was installed without any problems via USB, only that it is still Android 10.


My question is, does anyone have an idea why this software was installed without any problems via USB and the others and this thread does not start at all on my radio?




He would still ask for advice because according to the seller, it supports the internet with 3g / 4g donge, unfortunately, after installing the USB dongle, it activates and there is no internet, is it necessary to set some options?

My donge is HUAWEI E3372 LTE USB Stick

Thread 'Junsun V1 Pro (MTK8259/MTK8257) - firmware' https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/junsun-v1-pro-mtk8259-mtk8257-firmware.4283365/

Unzip both files and put them on an USB stick. Use an old one with small capacity (<32 GB). If the head unit is up and running the new fw should get detected automatically.

Don't miss to try AppSwitcher after your update.

thanks. Have you tested this new firmware? What's new does it introduce?
I installed it on my system, it's identical to the @vz_commo uploaded, except 3 things i noticed

  1. It has a newer version of the MCU (never been really sure what this does exactly)
  2. The wireless android auto and carplay sometimes doesn't connect because of bluetooth not connecting. It works 8/10 times
  3. There's no option to change the boot logo, not sure why

    Hi,
    After struggling hard to find how to update my unit (what doesn't seems possible with USB key in my case ; only with a MicroSD card), I finaly did it.
    This new system is Android 11 based, and allow to connect to Android Auto wireless, sounds good uh?

    My unit is AC8257 based, and has 8 core, 64 GB ROM, 4 GB LPDDR4 RAM @ 1024x600, but the upload also contains 800x600 & 1280x720px, there is .BAT files that make easyier to pick up the good Android_scatter file.

    Here is where I come from first :

    And here is where I am now :

    20220711_210648.jpg


    Below, a picture of the app/system that detect that my phone is close by and ready to pair with Android Auto. I first had to connect it with wire to show him the way. It now seems automatic.

    I want to be able to use android auto wireless.
    how can I do it?
    Open Wireless Qlink app and Re-pair your phone to the head unit

    Thank you very much!!

    I want to ask you one more thing.
    how do i download and install zlink?
    the system i bought has PhoneLink installed.
    you cannot install Zlink as they dont have the license for it, you can install it and pay for it if you wish but the phonelink app works well, you can force it ti work by going to settings-general-Carplay
    and if you want android auto wireless you can open wireless Qlink
