I bought a new head unit recently and it was suppose to be a 9217B but in fact the one that arrived is a 2gb ram and 32gb rom 9212B. I was wondering if one of the modded roms were compatible. I saw one earlier comment one user saying he had this unit and the equalizer didn't work because probably didn't have one audio chip. My unit actually have that chip (csc2313s dka6v) and the equalizer works but I have a problem that the audio in the lowest setting is to high and the fact that the original rom sometimes it's slow and some glitches happen. In the attachment i send some pictures of my unit. Thank you for your time and effort.

Now I'm not with the unit connected but tomorrow I can send pictures of rom it self. The rom says it is a 9.1 car edition and in the CPU-Z actually says it's api28.

Here is the pictures I took from the head unit today. It's a bit strange, the kernel in the device appears as version 4.14 but in the cpu-z appears as 3.18 with api level 28. Some of the instabilities are from of the wi-fi signal going down all the time. I'm thinking of installing a wifi antenna. I was wondering if for the bluetooth the same antenna can be used, or should I use another one?

WELCOME!

I'm sorry about the bad English speech, I'm writing with a translator...

I wonder how this package would work on my device?

Currently android 11 runs, but unfortunately the radio does not work and reacts very slowly. (Belated)

Thank you for your help.

hello good people,
i have very bad situation with my android HU and i'm asking for help,
I have podofo 8.1 and it's hard bricked, it's a version 1/16, YT9216BJ ( pictures attached of motherboard) unfortunately I don't have any backup, I tried flash (via SP flash tool) a lot firmwares but unsuccessfully, the best I've ever done is white screen with vertical lines ( pics attached) or just black screen with nothing happened,
my HU is normally recognized from pc and I can flash other firmwares
If anybody has maybe backup or something for my device, I know that android 8.1 is actually android 6, any help or links for working firmware with preloader and scatter are welcome

apologize for long post and bad english

Okay I messed up. I tried to do a flash update and now I’ve got the black screen. Nope, no backup file… I know it’s not bricked because Bluetooth still connects and plays audio. Also I get a screen flicker when the reverse camera tried to kick on. Really need some help. I took these photo before hand. Am I SOL? Thanks In advance.

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 this package you will greatly improve:
  • Stability
  • Speed
  • User Interface
  • Sound tweaking options
  • Customization options
View attachment 5383193

  • ON 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

    View attachment 5400709

Disclaimer
I 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.

This guide works on the following 1Gb RAM and 2 Gb RAM units with fake Android 10 and Android 11 installed:

- YT9216BF | YT9216CFJ | YT9216BJ | YT9216BFJ | YT9216CJ

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

The zip file package contains:
  • Modified firmware - courtesy of Stranger21UFA @ 4PDA (link to the original post)
  • TWRP (separate folders for 1GB and 2GB RAM units)
  • Root via Magisk
  • Viper4Android
  • Car Launcher
  • Boot Animation
  • SEPARATE INSTRUCTIONS ARE INCLUDED IN EVERY FOLDER

>>>> ALWAYS BACKUP YOUR UNIT BEFORE MAKING ANY CHANGES TO IT <<<<

!! IMPORTANT !!

This is a fairly advanced installation process and will require you to follow the individual guides included in the software package - to the letter. Failing to do so, will (in "best" case) result in a slow and buggy head unit and in the worse case - brick it altogether.​

    Below post is to show my respect & appreciation to iceblue1980 and in addition to share my experience that had for a few days while trying to make my unit better with above firmware.

    As I downloaded firmware package, I chose not to follow his guide by letter & skip a few steps, for example & most important, not to take full back up of memory.
    Then disaster followed, as I almost bricked the unit.
    So I turned back to post/s to find solutions. Iceblue1980 was there, day & night responding to me & sending me several alternatives to try.
    He even volunteered to fix my unit by sending it to him without any money even if he had to spend valuable time for it.
    Finally, after several attempts & lots of files / firmwares / guides he sent me the gold package & we made it work !!!

    I carefully followed his last guide by letter & that was it.

    Now my unit is back to life & even better than ever.

    This guy is awesome & I personally thank him so much.

    To all members, PLS FOLLOW author's
    guides BY LETTER EVERYTIME to avoid surprises !!!!
    AND
    Don't forget to thank the people who are there for you day or night.
    They use lot of their personal time to be there for you & that is priceless !!

    :) :) :) :)

    I flashed this on my YT9216BJ and everything flashed 100%, but when I went to reboot I got nothing. It looks like the unit isn't turning on at all. There is a blue LED on the board that is lit up when I connect power. Any ideas as to what went wrong?

    Sorry to hear that. Please try the following steps:

    1. Completely disconnect your head unit from power, start Flash Tool as Administrator and execute the command: Format+ALL including deleting the bootloader

    2. Run the steps from "Brick Recovery" starting with Step-6.

    If the above doesn't work - revert back to your original firmware by restoring your backup. Share your System Info screen found in Car Settings as well as your build.prop file and we'll have a look.

    Make sure the USB cable is properly attached. The firmware update should not take more than 20 min. If it does, it indicates a bad cable/connection.

    The Wifi/BT antenna mod is shown here, however I plan to post a proper guide on this particular mod in the future.

    The method I had to use slightly differs from everything I have read.

    1.) I wired a toggle switch to my positive lead. Left it in the off position (no power to head unit)

    You could share a picture of your soldered button. Some folks here might find it helpful :)

    I'm thinking of making a guide going for a permanent mod, where the soldered tactile SMD button will be accessible through a small hole in the back of the head unit (similar to how you access the RESET button). That way you can use a 'needle' to short the test points, rather than picking the unit apart every time.
