Rooted Atoto S8 (Ultra, probably others) using Magisck+Joying signature

[JMeister234]

First attempt at something myself (following Joying instructions - so they did all the work, really)

Instructions:
- two files required (6521_1.zip and 6521update)
- copy onto an empty MicroSD card
- put into your head unit and hope it works

NO WARRANTY. I AM A VILLAGE IDIOT. I TRIED TO FLASH THE JOYING ZIP AND IT BROKE MY RADIO UNTIL I REFLASHED THE ATOTO ZIP! I COULDN'T EVEN GET ADB WORKING.

<stop> I GUARANTEE NOTHING <stop!>

What I did:
1) Patched the boot.img using Magisck (using my phone)
2) Added to the S8 Ultra zip (download from dropbox if you get into trouble)
3) Used SignApkv2.jar (Java8) to sign the zip file (avoiding locked bootloader issues)
4) Copied the updated 6521_1.zip file into Atoto's firmware unzipped MicroSD and reflashed with patched boot.img
5) Installed the Magisck v7/22.01 onto my head unit
5) Installed kali linux and su into root

about to try this on my S8 pro. will report back in a few

 

[zmaynard97]

I've formatted my sd card to fat32, unzipped the update file, replaced the 6521_1 file. but when i stick the sd card into the unit I don't get the option to update.

 

[b0b88]

quick question before i even attempt this, by "following the joying instructions" you are referring to the link from zee russians right lol?

 

[b0b88]

also, I've tried 3 differen't methods to unpack the zip and all of them are saying it is corrupt...

trying to get the s8 premium files from atoto now hehe

 

[b0b88]

got everything setup I believe, downloaded the firmware and unzipped, patched boot image with magisk, re-archived it as zip with normal compression, signed said zip file with test key from zee russians lol... now in theory I would just place this on a microSD card and slap it into the slot and the system should recognize it? then install magisk after it updates? does the file system matter? ntfs? fat32? fatex?

This looks like you got the files for the s8 Premium from ATOTO. Would you mind sharing them?

This is what they sent me for S8 gen2 firmware update: https://www.dropbox.com/s/901k1f3o95kamb6/Update-File-for-ATOTO-S8-GEN2.zip?dl=0

And this is what they told me, " download the update file to the computer, unzip the update file, open the file folder, then directly copy all the files in it to an SD card( format of FAT32 or NTFS), then insert the SD card to the radio, and there will be an update notice popping up, click the "start" to start the update. Then the car radio will do the update automatically. " This reply maybe too late, and I also can guarantee nothing, still hope it can do a little help.

This Gen 2 file flashed without issue on the S8 Gen2 Premium S8G2114PM.
Has someone uploaded the firmware with the patched boot.img for root? Did i miss that detail in the thread?
Thanks

That gen 2 firmware flashed on my S8 gen Standard just fine. Have not gotten a chance to see if it's any different than what it already had on it though.

Before I updated the system, my Carplay connected slow, even with a cable. So I contacted ATOTO suuport team and they sent me the update file. After that the Carplay works faster than before, maybe that's one of the difference?
