where the firmware files something like 4192######.01, ########.02, "".03, "".04 etc...?
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!

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?

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

5Ownice K6/C960 Android Head Unit
Information on this unit seems to be extremely sparse but it's without a doubt the best unit I have used so far so I am putting this thread together to get a universal one stop shop for this unit in English. A lot of the information displayed here is from a Vietnamese forum called: Icar Vietnam so thanks to everyone there for the help.

There are different types of TS9 unit, root method in the op might work but it also might not, there is some more information on russian 4pda thread here: https://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=976371
I believe BC6 and BC8 are for different radio modules so advise not to change this setting
I am looking at dvd option but at the moment I have found none. Ownice says it's not possible. Ownice do sell external dvd drive but it uses a fakra style 4 pin plug, it is possible this is actually a USB plug but there is no information, I have tried to get information but none yet and also I don't have the money to buy this dvd to open and test it
These are the same unit, I am not sure where this extra model number comes from (welcome to XDA from fordownersclub
)
Are you able to boot into android to flash firmware? If so there is an option to wipe
If not follow the other methods listed in the op2
If you go for a K3 high PX5 chances are it will be a CSN2 based unit (MCU will be CSN2) so it might be worth looking through the CSN2 threads, as for PX6 I would say ask what MCU it's based on as it might be CSN2 and it might not
With this info I would make a decision based on support
Or go for the K6 and me and this thread will support you ?
Link CSN2: https://forum.xda-developers.com/an...its/head-units-rockchip-px5-mcu-csn2-t39124131Sorry to move through your question, but when you linked to your own thread also mentioning the k_support tool, I realised I had seen it "somewhere" before. It was of course on 4pda.
that was some years ago when I wanted to discover everything related to Joying and other helpful stuff.1
The K3 (C800) HU are MTCE based MCU's with the PRO version showing MTCP but it turns out it's still MTCE with the full function DSP EQ unlocked as simmer14 found out (follow his chain of posts).
BC6 and BC8 are the type of bluetooth board attached to the MCU. It's soldered on so the type selected in setting has to match.
The MCU processor has dedicated pins to control a DVD player if those pins are not wired to a connector a DVD can't be added. You would need to find a USB DVD reader that provides a driver/playback app to control it. Now you could simply mount the reader as a storage device and read media files off discs. VLC will play all the VOB's in a folder in succession but there won't be any DVD style menu and you won't have much control on navigation beyond skipping back and forth.
