Hi. I can only make assumption that this firmware would work under TW8. You Typed TWB-X but I think it is TW8 in your image.

Hi all!

I am being driven mad by my "Zoyoskii" Tesla Style head unit!


i cannot make head nor tail of whether or not my firmware is rootable or not. Details are as follows:

Processor type
Octa-sp9853i

Android Vesion
10

MCU version
Ts9V.4.3-100-404-A4C695-210112(MM031)

CAN version
HO63FD01SA-171219

System Version
V.11.1.2_20200915.111524_XHCN9-V-X

Memory
4GB/64GB

DSP w/optical out


---

The only reason i would like to root is mainly to hopefully be able to hide the top and bottom Navigation bar.

It is a Vertical unit, and nearly every guide i have found seems to be for Horizontal style headunits. Are the vertical ones moddable?



Ideally i would llike to install a better rom, as the zoyoskii one seems a little lackluster, the split screen functionality is useless and if i could modify the navigation bar that would be ideal. Not sure if such a beast exists though?


If anyone could give me a simple to follow guide on how to root I would be most appreicated. I am not newbie to installing custom firmwares/rooting Androids etc as I have done it before on my old PX3 unit among older Android phones - I just cant figure this SP9853i out though!

@liamstears - not sure if you can help with my question above?

So here's what I did:
I downloaded and installed this frimware from https://yadi.sk/d/oigQs8h6DizhPg .

the firmware:

V11.1.2_20201102.143407_THEME1-X
43864958-c1fc-11e8-b9ce-0701f06faf8a
4192eb4c-c1fc-11e8-8f83-a7a51df1443b
427c4ecc-c1fc-11e8-b558-cb289b80f7d2.4
427c4ecc-c1fc-11e8-b558-cb289b80f7d2.3
427c4ecc-c1fc-11e8-b558-cb289b80f7d2.2
427c4ecc-c1fc-11e8-b558-cb289b80f7d2.1
427c4ecc-c1fc-11e8-b558-cb289b80f7d2.0

After instalion, still didn't work. So I decided to install this firmware right after:
TS9_BOOT_Android10_1024x600_ID0_20200117
408930e4-c1fc-11e8-8a06-2b5b8f8a7e48

And it worked! Now I finally have a normal reolution.

The only thing that didn't work as well is the Radio FM application.
I can save only 6 staions. When I swipe to the right or to the left, for more staions nothing happened.

Any idea?

Hi all

I want to make my own rooted firmware by following the guide on the first page. The only bit I am unsure about it the "Magisk" part - it says you must have Magisk installed (not Magisk file manager)

Can this be easily installed without root? If not, can someone with Magisk prepare my file and send it back so I can encrypt it again and add it to my firmware file?

Many thanks

Hello everybody. I have a TS9 unit on a VW MK7, wich can run Ownice firmware, the only issue is that annoying thing on the screen , unauthorized UI blablabla...Ok, i have 2 questions for liamstears , marcus and anyone who can help me. I need to restart the unit into recovery mode, tried all is described into the forums, no luck. Any other suggestion, please?
The second question, can anyone provide a functionally version of the Vehicle apk from the Ownice rom?
Thanks a lot for the patience to read and for the support.
P.S. Also interested for a custom recovery, TWRP mostly, so i can save images of the rom's. Come on , nobody answer?

I suppose you tried using key 1 or key 2 wire short to frame with firmware on usb inserted?

 

[nicu50andrei]

Of course.

 

[Andason74]

Of course.

and you tried ignition key method?

 

[momohal]

Just unzip it to a USB memory and run the system update. The update time is a few seconds.

In addition to the resolution, the S1008W has another difference: it has a built-in 3-axis sensor and has a vertical screen UI.
However, updating the firmware for 1024x600 systems also loses this functionality, thanks.

Hello , i know its a late request ol, but i have a head unit that has the same 3-axis, and its a 1024x600 , i have the problem of loosing rotation, can you please upload your firmware or if you have any idea how to fix it, actually i have to flash the tesla firmware to get it working,

this is what i got when flashing it

But it is not real android 10.

Hi, I'm considering buying myself a K6 Plus (if I can find a supplier with EU stock for this model ) or a K6 High for my 2013 Ford Focus with Sync 1.
After your guys experience with this device ,is it still worth the purchase or are there other good alternatives out there?

Main requirements:
Real android unit
As reliable as possible for a China unit, Decent audio quality (I know this won't compete with known brand android auto compatible units)
Canbus, so it can work with my build in Bluetooth and mic + steering wheel
Want to hook up an aftermarket backing cam

 

[marcus82]

there's a lot of head units for our ford focus, I was with sync2! with sync1 all steering wheel commans works fine, ut not the microphone! also rear camera works
