Witam posiadam prawdopodobnie radio yt2913aj. Nie sprawdzałem tego wcześniej, a kilka dni temu przerwało się podczas ładowania Androida. Zresetowanie i leczenie z nienaprawianiem tego. Zdecydowałem się na sflashowanie, ale nie zrobiłem tego za kulisami. Kilka wersji, które istnieją, nie zaczyna flashować, a następnie znajduję zrootowaną wersję z tego forum i działa. Trwa to pomyślnie, ale kiedy wkładam radio do samochodu, nic się nie dzieje. Próbuję sflashować go jeszcze raz w domu, ale trzy też nic się nie dzieje. Myślę, że zamuruję. Czy jest szansa na naprawę tego z powrotem?

The UI is so painful. My immediate goal is to run Android Auto so I can plug in my phone and do what I know. My later goals are custom everything. So I need a root and image that plays well with this unit. Can someone help me on my journey?

good morning friends attached photo of my board of my radio yt9213aj board model t9260 v1.2 but I notice that it is not the same board that they posted here to update the dsp chip. If you have the schematic and the location of the components for this board, I would appreciate it. Thank you so much.

You should invest into an Android Auto unit, if this is your main area of use. A full-on Android will do everything AA does, including all phone functionality. Our ExtremeMOD head units are deliberately blocked form using Android Auto and CarPlay

Your mod sounds like what I need then. Is there an issue if mine reads T9812B and not YT9812B?

What it 'reads', doesn't always correlate to what's inside, it's a general direction. Here is an example of one of the ExtremeMOD Android head units built from an XYAUTO YT92:

You have to look at the motherboard itself.

In any case, if you don't skip the backup procedure then worse case, if the mod doesn't work - simply restore your backup.

Your motherboard should have these microchips as the bare minimum:

20210916_100316.jpg.....20210916_101011.jpg

And look very similar to this motherboard in terms of layout:

Good luck!

My recovery at step 2 has failed for the second time.
I'm not totally hurt about $130 down the drain, so I was wondering what unit you would recommend? I dont mind spending a little to find something that's flexible and smooth.

Your head unit isn't compatible with any of our mods.

We can try recover it for you in our workshop. We're located in the UK. Send us a PM for details.

Hello ExtremeMOD.
I have the model from the picture without physical buttons. Everything works fine for me except the microphone, because the person I'm talking to can't hear me very well and the FM radio doesn't receive the stations very well. Will I improve with this if I install and can this work on my model? Thanks a lot.

Unfortunately it will not, but you can improve the radio and mic audio in the Factory Settings (pw: 8888). You can find a lot of info here on XDA on how to do that.

This is my device inside and I believe it doesn't have a radio chip. I looked at your pictures from the beginning of the post and in yours I see that there is a chip in this place, but not on my device. I don't think I can fix the signal for FM, because I tried with the FM amplifier and I didn't get a better signal. I don't think I can help him :) Thank you very much for your reply and for the very helpful post.

Yes, your model does not have the NXP chip which delivers HD Radio. But it can be installed.

Is the one I could install the same as yours from picture above? Should I search by number from yours?
I can't clearly read the letters on the radio chip from your picture. May I ask if you have a clearer picture of the chip somewhere?
Thx.

Here is the product link. As well as the datasheet. Bear in mind that you need to add all the surrounding components (resistors etc) for it to work

    Hi all,

    If you want to greatly improve the way your head unit works, sounds and looks like - you've come to the right place!

    Why install this?

    With any of these packages you will greatly improve:
    • Stability
    • Speed
    • User Interface
    • Sound tweaking options
    • Customization options


    We wanted to share these all-in-one software packages with you, that we put together using various sources as well as our own modifications for Chinese Android Head units with 1Gb RAM and 16Gb FLASH drive, no physical buttons, with screen resolution of 1024x600 px. (It will not work on Tesla-style units):

      Fade not working 8227L YT9213.jpg YT9213AJ_00011_V001_20200421.png

    • YT9216B & YT9217B (same package)

      YT9216B_00002_V004_20200610.png IMG_20210513_234136.png

    • YT9218CH

      YT9218 System Info.png InkedYT9218CH label_LI (1).jpg

    Disclaimer
    We do not create the software itself but rather use research and put together different mods and hacks into one package that includes very user-friendly step-by-step instructions on how to install it all. You will find the links to original posts in the instructions pdf's if credit is due. The software might include smaller changes made by me and has been fully tested in real units.

    The Software Packages contain:

    • YT9213AJ custom firmware
    • YT9216B/YT9217B custom firmware with split-screen option
    • YT9218CH custom firmware
    • ROOT (SuperSU)
    • TWRP Recovery
    • Viper4Android / Viper4A / ViperFX
    • Custom UI (Car Launcher)
    • Custom Boot Animation

    !! TAKE A PICTURE OF YOUR SYSTEM INFO AND KERNEL VERSION BEFORE DOING ANYTHING TO YOUR HEAD UNIT !!


    !! ALWAYS BACKUP YOUR UNIT BEFORE MAKING ANY CHANGES TO IT !!


    ad pic.png split screen.png EQ.png


    DOWNLOAD #1
    YT9213AJ (with audio chip) supermod package & drivers

    DOWNLOAD #2
    YT9216B & YT9217B supermod package and drivers

    DOWNLOAD #3
    YT9218CH supermod package and drivers



    STEP-BY-STEP GUIDE (upgrading from working stock firmware):
    1. DO NOT SKIP ANY STEPS, AND INSTALL EVERYTHING IN THE CORRECT ORDER. STEPS 5 AND 6 ARE MOST CRITICAL.

    2. Proceed to download the software package for your unit and the drivers package in the same folder

    3. It's highly recommended to do these upgrades with your unit connected on your desktop, rather than in the car. Video Guide

    4. Install the Mediatek & ADB drivers on your Windows computer. Video Guide - use the same principle for ADB drivers.

    5. Backup your current system by exporting a full memory dump. Video Guide

    6. Import back your memory dump from step-5 to ensure it fully works. This is how.

    7. Install the package. Separate instructions are included in every folder of the downloaded zip file. Follow them by the order.

    IF THIS SOFTWARE PACKAGE HAS BRICKED YOUR HEAD UNIT AND YOU HAVE YOUR BACKUP AVAILABLE, follow the steps below:
    1. DO NOT SKIP ANY STEPS, AND INSTALL EVERYTHING IN THE CORRECT ORDER.

    2. It's highly recommended to do these upgrades with your unit connected on your desktop, rather than in the car. Video Guide

    3. Install the Mediatek & ADB drivers on your Windows computer. Video Guide - use the same principle for ADB drivers - (download link is in the video description)

    4. Watch this video on Test Point recovery

    5. Import back your memory dump. This is how.

    6. If successful - try to install the software package again or stay with your original one

    IF THIS SOFTWARE PACKAGE HAS BRICKED YOUR HEAD UNIT AND YOU HAVE NO BACKUP AVAILABLE, follow the steps below:
    1. Share the pictures of your System Info and Kernel in this thread and I'll try to help you
    ---------------------------------------

    IF YOUR HEAD UNIT HAS PHYSICAL BUTTONS: this software has only been tested on head units with no physical buttons (like volume). Before making any changes, access the CAR SETTINGS -> FACTORY SETTINGS -> ENCODER SETTINGS on your head unit and take a screenshot of the current settings (see example below). After installing the package, go back to these settings and adjust them if needed. If that doesn't help and if you can't successfully re-calibrate the buttons after installing the firmware, restore your backup.

    QUOTE=iceblue1980;83842081]Hi all,

    Wanted to share this MOD with you that I created for 8227L_demo Android Head unit, model: YT9213AJ with 1Gb RAM and 16Gb FLASH drive. You can use this to debrick your unit or to fully install the latest firmware (Aug2020) with fully working:

    YT9213AJ_00011_V001_20200806

    ROOT (SuperSU)
    TWRP Recovery
    Viper4Android / Viper4A / ViperFX
    Scatter file (should work for any 8227L YT921xx device)
    Full Memory Dump

    Download link

    How to use
    1. Download the file and unzip it onto you PC hard drive
    2. Make sure Mediatek drivers are correctly installed on your PC (you can view many guides here on XDA on how to properly install them)
    3. Download FlashTool version 5.1824 (or you will get transfer errors with reading DRAM or Scatter file) - if this version doesn't work try other versions between v5.1736 and v5.1916
    4. In Flash Tool, 'write to memory' both BOOT1 and ROM_USER file (search for instructions on XDA on ow to import memory dump) using the information from "Memory Map.txt" file (shows what memory values to type in when importing in the Flash Tool) and you will need USB-A cable for this. During this step make sure your head unit is completely disconnected from car battery or any other power source
    5. When installation is complete (import can take roughly 20 min), restart the unit in TWRP Recovery mode (use the Shutdown app that came pre-installed with the mod) and in TWRP pick "Wipe Cache / Dalvik".
    6. Done!

    If you are doing brick recovery, you can follow the very same method with Test Point method also fully described here on XDA Forums.

    Enjoy!
