Alps FF5000 and other AC8227L chipset head units - updates and solutions

[dedalos91]

Hola. He conseguido actualizar la radio, con la img rapida. Todo parece funcionar bien. Aunque estoy esperando a revisar todo. Encontré un error. No puedo instalar el navegador. Aparece el mensaje "Se produjo un error al analizar el paquete".

you can try one other version of this apk (maybe older)

Am navigatie android de la JunSun 2x32giga Alps FF5000 (chipsets 8227L) cu doua butoane fizice compatibile model VW Golf 5 cu UI 3 instalat. Problema este ca nu arata ok pe ecran la soare. Cum aș putea crește lumina sau contrastul sau ce ar trebui făcut pentru a vedea bine pe ecran când este soare.

you can try the corresponding settings in the engineer options menu (pass code 8888 on most units) or you can try in another suitable hidden menu with the corresponding code (search here in the forum)

Hello guys

I would like to update my android system to get more fluid performance.
can anyone help me how to do it?
I've had the navi for 3 years and I started to feel some sluggishness.

If anyone can provide updated versions and how to do it, I would really appreciate it! I don't know if I want to change the launcher, just update the system for now

Thanks a lot for now!

Hi, just download some free cleaning app from play store and remove cache and garbage and cool down cpu/mcu with one program. It will delete all non essential files and old stuff and make you device faster.
That's it !

NOTE: If you don't have an option to download from play store , download from PC apk of a aplication and install it thru usb or sd card on device and run.

It's a fake Android 10, I have contacted the support guy yet to hear from him as they were advertising a real android 10 on the box. Its 2 GB Ram 32 Gb storage with wired Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. If I update the google services the Headunit starts lagging had to disable all google services. Here We Go maps don't work and show as incompatible with the device on the play store. So I used the aurora store to download apk tried all versions but was just stuck on the loading screen. I need offline Maps and that's what it offers but the unit is pathetic. I had a similar unit from Hypersonic (Reselling XY auto in India as their devices) in 2018 with DSP 2 GB RAM, and 16 GB ROM YT9218 DSP. Output was bad DSP won't work as properly as advertised.
Was another case of Fake android 6 with the system showing 8.1 Go. So I brought this expensive Moco XE-Pro with almost the same hardware and very bad UI and laggy android. My friend brought KBK TS7 (Topway TS7) with 16 GB storage and 2 GB RAM (Real 1 GB RAM) for almost 1/4 the price and to my surprise, it works better than the one I have. Has a smooth and better UI and also an OTA update facility. The only thing good about my unit is it has CarPlay via phone link wired and works quite well. One thing which I forgot to mention about the Moco unit is it's capable of reporting fake API level and Android version in CPU-Z. So I used Other apps to check the system and boom the truth is out.

Hi, Anton!
No need to update the system?

I tried to open a specific streaming TV app and it was not authorized because of "root access detected". Is there anything I can do to unlock this?

Thanks for your help!

 

[Anton TNT]

If your device has root it means you have all access to your device settings, just tweek all settings in factory mode or do factory settings reset (erase) from factory menu and let it complete the process. After that , device will reconfigure itself. All apps should work after reset.

Hi... try first factory reset - press all five fingers on screen when unit starts/boots and wait for reset to finish, hopefully it will clear bootloop , if still in bootloop disconnect unit from battery and wait for 1 min and connect again.

I tried both options and it's still in bootloop. Tried five fingers , says erasing and still bootloop, disconnected the HU from the car and it's still in bootloop. At one point with the five finger it said something like scanning disk or usb , something like that. Is there another way?

hi everyone,

When using carplay on my device, I cannot adjust the volume of the map and siri, it is always constant and loud. I can turn down the volume in the hidden settings, but when I enter a noisy road, the volume remains low. When I say siriye volume up or down, it says that this device cannot reach the volume controls. These are the screenshots of my device, are there any updates that I can apply? Thank you.

Edit:
I solved my problem by doing a software update to the device, thanks to the information shared here.
this is the update I used:

8227L_8腾实UI04-国外11_v3_20210707.zip

UI04_8227L_v3_ANDROID 11_20210707 - Google Drive

Thanks to everyone who shared their information.

what options do i have to root this device please? and what if any custom roms are availible for this device, xtrons did provide me with FL-PSA&PSP-2+32 安卓10.0- 修改 can 升级串口-8227L_8乐佳UI03-国外10_v67_20220330 just recently, but wondering if i had any other options, also as i will be using this unit with correct iso loom for my car (audi TT) do I need to adjust anything in the canbus options in the 8888 config options? as this unit was sold by xtrons as for Suzuki pst90szk, although i imagine its just generic unit and fascia and wiring harness are the only differences from vehicle to vehicle???
hopwe someone here can give me a little advice, been searching the forum, but i tend to be going round in circles and not finding definitive answers due to so much info and variables
kindest regards

[ROOT][FLASH][TWRP] Josmile / Xonrich MTK 8227L VW Head unit Android 10

Hi, i'v bought this unit and share all information i can find here. The unit is very good, runs android 10 but i like to customize further. Updates: - Added Magisk install instructions (prefere) - Just created a TWRP to this unit! Links bellow...

forum.xda-developers.com

they are similar models and probably match, but it's better to ask a question and get an answer (register in 4pda forum with Google translate)
you must study and back up of your system and your data so you can restore your unit after a failure
if you use sp flash tool you must have the correct preloader file otherwise you will get a brick

BUT BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU DO, THE RESPONSIBILITY IS YOURS IF YOU END UP WITH A BRICK OR LOOSE YOUR DATA

for canbus option, from the mechanic's menu shown in your photo, you can choose the model of your car

good luck

 

[moiloon]

thankyou, so i select the all option for the canbus?? but which Audi canbus selection? theres a few with diferent leters in brackets, ie RCZ, XP, HiWorld ect

you will try to find your model (each number contains more models in a sub-menu) and if you can't find it exactly you will try similar Audi models until you find the one that will make the controls on the steering wheel work and give you the necessary information on the screen (air conditioning, open door, etc). you have to restart the device every time you select a model)
also you must see the attached photo to have the correct connections and have a working cunbus
