Hi there,

I have the same unit and firmware is YT9216B_00002_V004_20190728

Does Viper4Android really make a big difference? I have the stock audio system no sub.

My unit is one that comes with the air conditioning, etc built into the head unit. See attached pic below, does it support those buttons as well? Thanks.

Sory my a neophyte can you tell me step by step how to do that!!!:confused: That my first radio headunit i buy for my Hyundai Elantra GL 2013!

First :
Make a Full Backup/Memory Dump:
Install latest MTK Drivers in your computer.
Open SPFlashtool, Select Memory Test Tab, Select only RAM Test (uncheck the rest), push start, and connect the unit disconnected from car. Save the information appeared, in a text file for later. (Read above "Memory dump procedure" for the usb connection setup).
Now go to ReadBack Tab, Double click on empty space next to tick mark, Select a folder where you want to store the dump file, and Type a name for the dump file you are going to creat, (ie. Boot_1, Boot_2, USER). Click Save. In next window "Readback block start address", select the region you want to make backup of (ie. EMMC_BOOT_1, EMMC_BOOT_2, EMMC_USER).
Start address is 0x0000000000000000
Length copy and paste from the text file you created earlier.
typically for Boot_1 and 2 the length is 0x0000000000400000
and for USER (16GB models) the length is 0x00000003a8000000
Click OK.
Now click on Readback and then connect the unit via usb cable. and Read process will start.
Do the same to make backup of all three partions. USER will take long time because its the largest partition.

Then :
Uploading Firmware (full or parts) via spflashtool:
If you are uploading the firmware available in parts, you only need to upload "BOOTIMG" and "ANDROID" (SYSTEM).
You may also need to flash "RECOVERY". Remember to uncheck the preloader!

Instructions

Prepare:
- download and unzip archive from my first post
- make/buy USB A male to A male cable (for photos see attachments)
- install drivers from SP_Driver folder

Backup:
Just in case make backup (readback in ATC Flash Tool)
I didnt done it, so if u want, search for guide online

Flashing process:
- open flash_tool.exe from ATC_Flash_Tool folder
- select Download-Agent MTK_AllInOne_DA.bin from ATC_Flash_Tool folder
- select Scatter-loading File AC8227L_Android_scatter.txt from Firmware folder
- make sure PRELOADER is not checked. (There isnt any in in my fw. Just in case if u use this guide for some another fw)
- press Download button
- connect your USB A to A cable one side to PC, another one to your head unit. I recommend u to use that 4 pin usb port (that one with smaller plastic end), but shouldnt matter.
- press RST button on your head unit (use some pin, paper clip or toothpick)
-wait until flashing process ends. There should appear green message.
- press RST button again and let yout headunit boot.
- perform factory reset on your head unit to prevent any bugs

Flashing process error:
- happends sometimes
- disconnect your cable
- if possible, disconnect your head unit from electricity for a while
- press download again, connect usb cable back, and press RST button.
- check if your cable is not faulty.
- for homemade cable try to apply some solder on cable ends, check if ends arent shorted, use tape on them, or buy original cable

How can I disable Boot Ford and not have any Boots enabled? thanks

@Shreyas17 there is no OTA update on our devices. Not now, not ever. Check out 4pda for firmware.
i have checked that forum but confused which firmware to use i want to update the device using pendrive and also bit confused about the steps to update the device. attached the image if you could help me also want to keep device stock no root required for me.

Installed my external microphone thanks to users on this forum. Soldered the pins on the motherboard and removed the old microphone. Works much better than the stock one.

    So... how to root your device?
    how to flash twrp?

    You can use this pre-rooted firmware, with included twrp.
    -Build type is userdebug, means u can enable multi-window mode in dev settings
    -Based on latest available firmware
    -Root
    -Busybox
    -TWRP
    -HIFI enabled
    -UI1 Launcher
    -FM Radio with RDS and save manager.
    -TPMS (working with cheap chineese usb units)
    -DVB-T & SDR (required RTL2832U)
    Its backup of system i already have modified for myself.
    It means, its branded to Ford Mustang all the way.
    U can do this to get rid of that branding:
    -choose another bootlogo.
    -flash new bootanimation.
    -install stock (not modified) UI1 launcher

    To get ADB, i recommend this app:
    WiFi ADB - Debug Over Air

    Download:
    YT9216B_00002_V004_20191012_HIFI_V3.zip

    Factory settings password: 8888

    Important note: Android 8.1 Go is just chineese marketing trick, in reality this head unit has android 6.0 (api lvl 23, not 27 as 8.1 should have).
