Thank you! Its hard for me to pour over forums like I used to before I had two kids. I really appreciate the help.
General General FYT based Spreadtrum uis7862 (unisoc ums512) - Q&A, Mods, tips, firmware
- Thread starter surfer63
- Start date
After painstakingly setting everything up this is an issue I'm also struggling with.
Would like to install latest firmware as well
but the whole hassle of starting from scratch is a genuine deal breaker.
There really is no way of editing the firmware files to not overwrite/delete the user data stuff..?
Hi there, I recently procured an Mekede/Navifly 3GB RAM 32GB ROM M300s ( I think) from Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B092Z2JH9S?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details
The first one I got managed to have a screen that was falling out, and the Bluetooth wasn't working. Error code 65535 when opening the Bluetooth app, no name or password assigned. Also RDS wasn't working.
Then I exchanged that, and my replacement also has the same Bluetooth issue. I was able to work around it by flashing the latest firmware provided to me by the seller here: http://www.mekede.com/Software Download Address1/ and changing sys.fyt.bluetooth_type=1 to 0 but I hear this disables Bluetooth BLE
RDS is still not working, however.
I tried a different firmware linked by another XDA member here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/medeke-navifly-7862.4248969/post-86698923, which I noticed was a newer version. Surprisingly, CarPlay opens even faster with it. But I still had to change the bluetooth_type back from 1 to 0.
Talking to the seller can be a lot like pulling teeth, so I am curious to see if others have seen similar issues. Would anyone have any ideas? I can live with all this considering I got it for very cheap, harness already made for my car, it can do wired/wireless CarPlay just fine, but I want to make sure I have it working the best I can.
Also side note: Mine has a cooling fan. But I am not sure if it is working, I have it plugged into the harness but I can't feel any air out of it or hear it if I put my head close to it, maybe it spins at a really low RPM?
EDIT: Nvm on the fan thing. This function can be turned on by going into Settings > Sound > AMP ON or OFF. It has a little picture of a fan on it.

HI,
You have to tick AMP ON in the device/sound settings. see this picture from Aliexpress. RDS should work, as I remember in FM radio app settings you have to tick RDS.
Regarding bluetooth issue I can not help, mine works almost fine, the only issue is that every time my phone is connected/disconnected it downloads phonebook again, call logs are not transferred from phone to the head unit at all (and it also does not see my bluetooth OBD II device, but that's a well known issue).
Try to clear data and cache in android settings for bluetooth app and try to install this app if it recognizes your device
Thanks for the info! I found that fan thing on a random YouTube video. But thank you for the aliexpress picture. I will read more about the device in general by finding it in aliexpress.
For RDS, Iwent into the settings on the radio app and I only have an option to selection region, or manual sense. I also scrolled on the bar to see if rds button was there and no dice. Like I said I contacted the seller but it maybe hard to get a response.
As for Bluetooth. When I go back and change the config to 1, it will say in the device settings Bluetooth device unknown. Which was the default way the firmware was. I will try the extra Bluetooth app to see if it sees something though, thank you!
Really it is all working well and good, I just wanted to make sure I am not losing out on Bluetooth quality.
Thank you!!
I have installed the 17 May firmware. At least this time Google Contacts will not be deleted. And I don't feel any other functional improvements.

today i tried backing up my device. during the backup it shows a few lines of red text. it still outputs four . allupdate file is only 350mb . Is that normal
Yes, the RED lines are about backing up camera360 option, in fact this isn't backed up
Very simple.
Remove the updatecfg.txt before flashing. That one contains the several commands to partly/completely/specifically wipe "stuff" before flashing (see post #2).
FYT is not good in "migrating settings after configuration update". Especially in the earlier Sofia and PX5 units, they sometimes completely changed the way settings were stored. If you then flashed a firmware without wiping the previous one, you could get unstable units, functions that didn't work anymore , etcetera.
So if you flash your unit without the updatecfg.txt, and you get these kind of issues, you have only one remedy: flash it again with the updatecfg.txt.
But you don't have to be afraid something gets damaged if your remove it.
hi,
I have the M300S model and I used to rummage in the network settings and the 5ghz wifi network has not worked since then. I don't remember jsk I did it. Does anyone know how to change to search for the 2.4 and 5 ghz bands? Maybe there is some service menu? Because there is no wifi in the settings. It is only at the hotspot, but when I change to 5Ghz, this network cannot be seen.

Just tried it and indeed most things are intact after flashing. Data/data is being formatted though so all user installed app settings are gone.
So Agama, Carwebguru, Poweramp etc. now have to be setup again. No biggie, but definitely takes some time. Most probably the annoying things that have to be fixed will still be intact so in hindsight no idea why I flashed it anyway
Sorry. I didn't think of that.Just tried it and indeed most things are intact after flashing. Data/data is being formatted though so all user installed app settings are gone.

I am afraid this is part of how FYT does their updates. They are now using dynamic partitions (post #2, IV.) and clean /data/data. That is completely unnecessary (is Samsung, Motorola, Huawei, Oppo, etcetera doing that?), but they do that indeed. Probably still because they don't want to write update routines for settings, but being lazy simply overwrite everything in /data/data

after many hours i dont find anything for new firmware for isudar v72 or what version it is latest or where it is this firmware (site to download)
use someone isudar v72 and can help me with more details ?
I thought I would find an updated version on the forum with news to make it more useful to use the radio
For now, I've figured out how to stop the radio from turning on when I turn on the car and an app that I think is better set up for the radio ...
if anyone can help me please thank you !

The radio will hardly change in new firmwares. All those applications will hardly change in new firmwares. You might take a look at the NavRadio thread for another much better radio app.
If you really want to change your firmware you can flash it with something like the latest Joying firmware. But that will come with the same radio app and music player.
Before you flash it with the Joying firmware you need to make some modifications to the Joying firmware.
All is described in post #2. It is a long read but you will understand much better what you need to do (and if you still want to do it).
Use my hwgetinfo (see the signature) to get the necessary info for your unit and current firmware.
it's pretty hard for me, I'll see why my google play programs aren't updated, if someone succeeds they can give me a PM, I don't know any software...
i found if help me to understand this :
FYT=1 ro.build.fytmanufacturer=1 MCU NOR Ekiy T900 T7, Isudar V72 , NaviFly, MEKEDE, Funrover, XIMA XV6PRO
this firmware it is same ?

3Figured I'd let the Mekede 300s-600s owners know that the firmware was updated! The 6315_1.zip folder and the AllAppUpdate.bin are now updated 6/11/2022 and 6/13/2022 respectively. I grabbed it from Mekede's firmware download page.
I noticed this one had all the camera 360 stuff in the config.txt. I ended up erasing all that stuff and grabbing the config.txt from the previous update to revert all that, as it broke my aux capability initally. Still had to change the bluetooth to 0 to get it to work. What's cool is that carlink carplay/android auto app was updated May 2022. It seemed to fix the occasional failure to auto connect wirelessly to carplay.3
it has nothing to do with AllAppUpdates.bin contents, if AllAppUpdates.bin present - lsec6315update wipes /data/data
you can not change lsec6315update that easy, it is protected image so it will stop working after you change anything2There's a rm -f /data/data inside the file
@surfer63 is it possible to you to take a look ?, I tried to modify "/data/data/*" by "/data/_ata/*" or by "/data/data/nothing" but.... as expected, the file does not boot at all, maybe signed ?2
If you really want to be in control you make a modded ROM like @gordgelin did. It is a lot of work and not simple, but doable if you have the knowledge of the new and older firmwares. If you understand what I wrote in the first posts of this thread about the firmwares and look a bit beyond the standard (dynamic) partition structure, you can do it.2
Didn't test with more than 1 command per run, but upgrading firmware in the past with twipe_cache and the ONLY command, my apps were in place ! -

This thread is supposed to become a "one fits all" thread about FYT based Spreadtrum uis7862 (Unisoc ums512) head units and its software, modded or not. The first few posts will be "collection" posts for all kind of info but will also link to other useful information that might be added later or in other threads.
Part of the tips, mods, etcetera are also valid for FYT based sc9853i and sc9863a (uis8581) head units, and even for the older PX5 and Sofia-3GR.
DISCLAIMER: Every action you do on your unit is on your own responsibility. I will help where I can (and probably a lot of other users as well), but I am never responsible.
This thread is meant for:
- Discussing firmwares (see post #2), modded firmwares, mods and rooting (not advised).
- Tips, tricks, mods to improve the general usability of your unit.
- Try to solve design errors/flaws where we expect that these Chinese resellers/suppliers will not do it.
- buyers advice (is this one better than that one?)
- 4G providers, DAB+ modules or DAB+ software (see here for DAB-Z by @realzoulou), Navradio+ (see NavRadio+ ported to UIS7862-FYT devices by @KoTiX2 , sub-woofers, OEM cameras, OBD devices, TPMS or other peripheral devices.
- ABSOLUTELY NOT for posts about "what is/are your favorite app(s)?"
- Questions about repairs, warranty and the like. That is between you and the reseller. Questions about interchangeabilty of hardware are OK.
General unit information
Q&A - Questions & Answers
Mods, useful software, tweaks for your system, etcetera.
Some will be added later
- Backup the firmware of your unit (link to be added but I first want to test once I have my unit). Useful if you do not have a firmware yet for your unit.
- Disable or (re-)enable the mediaplayer at startup/wakeup (bullet #2).
- Change Fytmanufacturer script to correct the fytmanufacturer id after a flash with another resellers AllAppUpdate.bin bullet #3).
- DocumentsUI for Android 10. Without it you can't write to an external USB drive with other file managers. That is because the documentsUI is missing. Install it, open it once and afterwards your file managers can use it to get access.
- Android Shortcut Settings: This program by Mario Dantas gives you access to some hidden settings in the (FYT) head units.

More about Firmware(s)
This post is valid for FYT uis7862 (ums512) units running Android 10 or fake Android 11.
Contents of a firmware zip:
- 6315_1.zip: The zip file contains all "standard" Android software, drivers and apks. It also contains the the boot.img; the system/vendor/oem partitions and a few other things. This 6315_1.zip "should" be interchangeable between all 800x480, 1024x600 and 1280x720 models. I don't know for the special resolutions, Tesla like units or rotable units. Probably they are by now also compatible.
- AllAppUpdate.bin: Special file that contains all FYT apps (This can be (un)packed with any (un)zipper, but I prefer 7-zip). This file also contains special files with reseller specific configs. This one is only interchangeable between the same reseller-id, unless you change that reseller-id.
- config.txt: file comparible to the build.prop which can contain additional properties.
- lsec6315update: The binary that really does the update
- oem: (OPTIONAL, DEPRECATED) Folder containing some additional apps. These are not automatically installed, but can be found in folder OEM in your internal memory (internal SC card called USB). Do not confuse this with the oem partition where the AllAppUpdate.bin will be installed to. I use this folder upon flashing to add some of my preferred apps that I want to have available, but not directly installed. Note: Nowadays the preferred location for these kind of apps is in the vital-app folder inside the AllAppUpdate.bin.
- updatecfg.txt: Contains instructions for the flashing process
- Stm32ud.bin: (OPTIONAL) binary to flash the MCU
- GD32_E230_64K_Flash.Hex: (OPTIONAL) the hex file that contains the MCU firmware itself.
I. (Factory) Firmwares
Some commands that can be put inside updatecfg.txt
Code:twipe_all # Wipe entire system twipe_data # Will wipe data partition (but not /sdcard, internal memory). Wiping the /data partition will wipe all config, all 3rd party apps and updates of system apps. This is the same as a "reset to factory defaults" twipe_sd # Will wipe internal memory /sdcard (but not the data partition) dellapp # Remove all 3rd party apps make_updates # Make an upgrade U-disk boot file test # test unit and firmware before flash
Some properties that can be put inside config.txt. Say you live in Brazil and you want your locale settings immediately on Brazil, you can add that. As a second example we take a "Tesla style" unit which is actually a rotated horizontal unit:
Or you want to improve the microphone function a little, you can add or modify the following lines:Code:ro.product.locale = pt_BR ro.sf.swrotation = 90
If you decide to download a 4pda Russian modded firmware, make sure you remove the settings from this config.txt file that makes this a Russian firmware (unless you are Russian, but in that case you probably would not be here).Code:persist.sys.zlink.mic.vol=9.9 persist.audio.mic.senstivity=1 persist.btmic.gain=10 persist.btspk.gain=7
II. AllAppUpdate.bin
III. The 6315_1.zip
(Inside also "III-a. More details about the files inside the 6315_1.zip and how to decompress and unpack/"open" them" and "III-b. Recompress uncompressed images from the 6315_1.zip to squashfs format for small (!) and easy access. (Not for flashing.)")
IV. Some info on partitions
V. The lsec_updatesh folder, lsec6315update binary and 7862lsec.sh script (and what about "universal" scripts)
VI. Compatibilty between uis7862 (ums512) Firmwares
VII. FYT firmware types over the different CPU configurations
VIII. Flashing a Full firmware, an AllAppUpdate.bin or a new system/kernel/core from another reseller
IX. If everything goes wrong and your unit ends up in a boot loop or doesn't get past the boot logo.
[/hide]6Backup the application data of your uis78672 (ums512) unit (or your sc9863a (uis8581a) unit).
This is especially useful if you do not have an official firmware from your supplier yet. The kernel/cores are universal on these FYT uis7862/uis8581a units, but the AppUpdate is not.
This works on both the uis7862 and the uis8581a. I don't have this ui8581a unit but it is actually the same for these two types of FYT units.
It will actually also make a backup of your sc9853i unit, but there it requires some extra follow up steps. Next to that: There are already many firmwares that can simply be downloaded.
This script will create a directly flashable backup!
Backup script
- Unzip the contents of this zip onto a clean usb-stick.
- Insert it into your unit and let it reboot.
- It will make a backup of the specific firmware part into folder BACKUP onto the USB-stick (which should therefore have >1GB free space).
- When it is done, you will have four (4) files in this BACKUP folder: AllAppUpdate.bin, config.txt, lsec6315update or lsec6316update, and updatecfg.txt
- If you copy these four files to a clean usb-disk and also copy an 6315_1.zip (for uis7862) or a 6316_1.zip (for a uis8581), you can always restore your unit to its factory settings.
Restore option I:
For a uis7862: Copy the AllAppUpdate.bin, config.txt, lsec6315update, updatecfg.txt from the BACKUP folder onto a clean USB-stick. Insert that one in your unit and let it flash your unit.
For a uis8581: Copy the AllAppUpdate.bin, config.txt, lsec6316update, updatecfg.txt from the BACKUP folder onto a clean USB-stick. Insert that one in your unit and let it flash your unit.
Restore option II:
In case option I still gives you an unstable system, you need to do a complete flash. For that you also need to flash a new kernel/core.
- Download the universal kernel/core for uis7862 (current version: 07 December 2021). (For uis8581 download yourself)
- Unzip it to the same USB-stick which you used in "option I". This means that this content will be added to the USB-stick. It will not replace the content.
- Insert that one in your unit and let it flash your unit.
3Mods and Tweaks
==================================================================================
1. Modded Joying media player
Removed. All media players now have folder based play options.
==================================================================================
2. disable or (re-)enable the mediaplayer at startup/wakeup.
FYT mimics the behaviour of many builtin car units that it continues with the player or radio or BT connected phone player, that was active during "switch off". These 2 scripts can disable that behaviour (I want silence when I start my car) or enable it again (default FYT behaviour). This is a shameless copy of @gordgelin scripts with a slight modification where @gordgelin adds the command at the 16th line whereas most standard firmwares have max 8 lines or so. My script simply adds the line to 4th line of config.txt. Works on uis7862 (ums512), sc9863a (uis8581a) and sc9853i (could easily be ported to other FYT units as well).
==================================================================================
3. Script to correct the fytmanufacturer id in the fyt.prop
In case you get a big yellow bar with red letters in the top of screen saying "UI and MCU does not match", your fytmanufacturer id (ro.build.fytmanufacturer= XY) is incorrect.. (See also Q13/A in post 1 and time II. and vI. in post 2.
If you still know the original id, you can use this script to correct that entry again without completely reflashing your unit.
Read the README.txt carefully !!
You can download this script: ChangeFytmanufacturer3
Until approx. 7-9 months ago it was still possible. But quite recently T'eyes blocked their software completely and encrypted their programs so you can't change them anymore (which is good as that is illegal), but still they block other standard Android functions as well.Thanks for advise, I read already and just ask if someone did it or not.
I found your post in another thread that you ordered Mekede. So I think that I will do the same, the cost so easier for me.
So: one more reason not to buy T'eyes.
