Eonon R03 10.1" android 11 2GB ram quadcore a55 possible root via magdisk? (RK3566) + Latest update from eonon - Android Head-Units

Hi guys i was wondering if anyone has messed around with eonons new headunits the R03 (RK3566)
i just bought it and really coming to the conclusion it needs a better audio eq the original dsp really does not cut it for a 2000w skar audio setup/ any audio setup really.
i have emailed eonon support asking for a update to fix there wifi issues when i first got the headunit 3 months ago.. here is there factory version of there rom hoping someone can help me add viper4 android and root. and mainly recording some info on this machine due to absolutely no dev support because it is so new. hoping to start that trail of support.
all and all radio works ok now (FAST ) wireless android auto somewhat ok DSP but the audio settings are seriously limited i paid just over 500$ cad for this headunit hoping it would bring some good quality (audio wise but sadly disappointed) never the less v4a im sure can really bring the hype back.
here is cpu Z photos of this unit apparently a rk30 but factory software claims as rk3566
Willing to gladly try any modified versions of the file update.zip listed below. I'm completely aware of the dangers of potentially bricking my headunit.
(update) upload file service didnt want to upload the .zip file here it is via mediafire.
update
MediaFire is a simple to use free service that lets you put all your photos, documents, music, and video in a single place so you can access them anywhere and share them everywhere.
www.mediafire.com

If the update file contains a boot.img we could patch it using magisk canary!
(i bricked my device by using the regular magisk version which doesnt support a-only)

viper4 and rooted

viper4 and rooted

Hey guys,
I also have an Eonon unit with the RK3566. Definitely interested in getting root access, I have magisk and adb, but I’m not able to enable usb debugging via traditional means. Anyone know how to get around the hidden developer options menu on these units?
Thanks

Thanks man! testing and will post results. thank you for your attempt!!

**Confirmed working on update supplied by @localos **
Superuser is working flawlessly.
Tested this by installing latest version of busybox
Head unit is working as it should wifi /BT 0 issues.
However v4A is crashing appon launch.
Any suggestions? I have not tried editing build.prop to permissive..
I'm a bit worried installing a later Verson of v4a but open to all suggestions.
It seems it's only taking audio ajustments via factory amplifier app.

Another question. Now that we have proper root access what is the best possible way to perform a full backup of the system as it sits?
I feel this would be great for someone with the same radio needing a working Backup..
TWRP? I don't know where to begin.. there is no custom recoverys..

Not Android Automotive OS, requested moderator move to [Android Head-Units] forum.

I have a similar android 11 head unit from pumpkin. using the RK3566 Chip, I have an original copy of the Update file for the head unit but cannot seem to patch the boot.img If someone can show me how to extract the boot.img patch it, and put it back in the update that would be great.
Or i can provide the update file and if someone could patch it for me like @localos did that would be amazing.
1.03 GB folder on MEGA

First off thank you so much I will update now.
If I root my device, I can still update ?
And how do I make a root ?
Can these files also be used on an A-Sure head unit based on Android 5.1 (originally shipped) 1GB RAM with Intel Sofia?
Or where can i get more information about this head-unit and the possibility of updates?

Any idea what the "wifi fix" was?
I installed this and now I hear a high pitched whine when I move my mouse cursor.....not happy about it.
The 5.11 releases are for 1024x600 right? Thanks
Nice might get this radio now single din 7-8'' but still trying to find how it sound. But the subwoofer update is great. That really nice.
Still online?
Hello!
since I'm about to update my old 5.1 version from 2016something I try to find the latest 5.1 for the Sofia unit. I fear updating to 6.0 and want to keep my "precious" 5.1 . Actually the Joying site is down, do you still have the 5.1 Firmware versions? Would you mind updating the links?
Thanks in advance!

Please put the firmware repo back! I can't download updates from Joying and im stuck on old firmware!
I would love to flash, test and even try to contribute to the development on this unit, but I don't want to do anything till I can revert to stock, I've tried looking around a decent amount and can't find the original Joying images since the Joying website is down. I'm actually still stuck on an old 6.0 android build as I can't update and its a bit buggy. Please help!

Update JOYING PX5 android 8.1 to android 9

Hello everyone
I have since yesterday a Joying JY-UO135N4-OBD, MCU number: TP6735D 0.43 under android 8.1 that I want to upgrade to android 9 because my OnePlus 6 is under 9 and can not connect USB on the Joying.
Is there an update?
Thank you for your answers.

No there is no update and I'm for 99,5% sure there will not come an update anymore now that the new Intels are coming in and the PX5s are slowly phased out.
Eunavi claims they will have a 9.0 firmware for their PX5 units this month. Maybe others will update as well.

I'm a little disgusted to learn that, I should have better information before.
Is it possible to make my Joying 8.1 compatible with my OP6 Pie in another way?
In bluetooth everything works very well but in usb (for android auto and mirror function) my OP6 sees the joying but the joying does not connect to the OP6.
Thank you for your skills
OP6 Android 9.0 with Z-Link is working on the new intel joying units....

I believe you can attempt using the trial version of Headunit Reloaded Android Auto and if this works out. You can try out using the full version.

I can confirm this to work with Pixel 2 running Android 9.0 using both wired and wireless.
It's not installing Android 9.0 directly onto the head unit but it will mirror any source android phone as long as it's 4.1+.

The OP asks whether he can upgrade his PX5 to Android 9. Not whether he can use an Android 9 phone/device with his unit.
That's a big difference and mirroring your phone to your head unit might be enough, but it is always a big functionality limitation when comparing it with the full head unit functionality.
For me the only concern with older Android versions it the lack of support when it comes to security patches by those Chinese suppliers. Joying (and all the others) simply stop supplying security updates even though the Android 8.0 version on the PX5 is still fully supported.
Using Android auto or headunit reloaded does not change that. It might even make it worse (and especially with z-link)

But seeing that the OP may be staying with his current PX5 I took the liberty of suggesting an alternative to Z-link. Seeing as I have hit the same snag as him with my PX5 and Pixel 2 running Android 9.0. So as a reiteration to the previously mentioned:

You are completely right. I had overseen his second question. sorry.
Headunit reloaded should/might work.
Z-link only works with phone versions up to 8.1 with the PX-5.
The new 9853i (8.1) does work with Android 9 phones. It might be worth trying to install that z-link version onto the PX5 to see whether that works.

I made a cross on a hypothetical update of the PX5 but if an application can replace Z-link to run my OP6 pie it would be great.
Or a custum ROM ....

I have an OnePlus 6T and I have the 10.1" octacore 4/64 GB px5 8.1 joying unit and I contacted them about it. They say they are working on an update to fix it. So... We shall see, not holding my breath. I plugged in my backup Moto E4 and the works with z link.
What I'm trying to figure out is what update my unit needs since they have their Intel altimont update on their site and I'm not sure if that's compatible.
Edit: ok so I see that I have a QD unit, I reached out to joying to see if there's any recent updates
Hi, is it possible to update a firmware/ROM from android 8.0 to 8.1 using Joying web updates? My HU is Xtrons MCU KEQ, but is essentially a Joying hardware with px5 4/32g.
Thanks in advance

No.
The PX5 8.0 firmware is an ARM64 android. The intel airmont 8.1 firmware is an x86_64 android.
They are completely incompatible. And then there is the differences in other hardware requiring other drivers.

Im lookin to replace my com.syu.amp from my actual 8.0 system. How can I get a new/different one? I saw that Joying is showing a new parametric EQ in the 8.1 set. And the HU dont have a DPS hardware. So.. Is there a way to take some Archives from android 8.1 to use it on 8.0?
Thanks in advance Surfer!

I don't think so.
And the com.syu.eq is the "visual" equalizer. I'm afraid the difference in hardware is too big to make it work. And I also think that other libraries and drivers are required.

My problem is that EQ is not doing that would be at all. 7 bands and and every one of this acts as HPF. Its imposible get a good spot.
On system/priv-app/ there are 2 folders related to audio, one is the 180000000_com.syu.amp that inside has an .apk called AMP.
And de second folder is com.syu.eq that has the Eq executable.
Maybe trying with the last Joying web firmware to px5 from november 2018? What do you think?
Thanks again for your help.

Sorry. I really don't know. I already mentioned my doubts and have no further experiene with it, and know nobody who has.
Would it be possible to see if the Z-Link apk (from new Intel Joying) can work on the 8.0 (PX5). If someone can extract the apk and share it from the device itself? I've tried downloading the firmware, and extract the system.img but I can't go any further than that for now. I need to figure out how to extract ext4 images on a mac.

Good to go. Looks like original firmware, all stock, installed today with no issues.
My multimedia is Preling Tesla style for Opel one. 4/64 ts9. Dont think it is kind difference between firmwares, once disassembled a lot of them, this one by tw.
As well used magisk root recovery, all is working.
Asked seller for new firmware for one hundred times and found it myself on internet by mistake =). BTW all this is not 9 android like it called in info it is 8.1. Also get info regarding upcoming android 10. Will see. Personally waiting for RedMode firmware because of buttons reassignment possibility.
PS. Is it any good rom maker or hard experienced app modifier with this kind of multimedia?

Yes, I asked the seller for new firmware and mcu updates, too. More often. They answered only, no new firmware at this time. I could not believe that because mine was released on december 2019.

A couple of small improvements. I think this is the last available ROM on the market now. Have root and launcher with opel sedan logo on desktop implemented.
Have one annoying bug with original Bluetooth application. It is double skipping forward backward ie one press two track forward. Think that problem is partially hardware issued.
BTW all the firmwares for this multimedia is 8.1.
Hope somewhen redmod for ts9 tesla will be released once i need key relearn feature.

What will you do in my case? What I want is root and future updates, of course.

YT9218 firmware help

Hi guys. I just bought a car and it has a chinese navigation YT9218 from what I understand.
It says it have Android 8.1 Go on it, but it is moving really hard.
I will atach some screenshots about version to be more clear.
What I wanna do is update the firmware or something to make it run smoother.
If any guides/ideas will be much apreciated.
Thanks a lot.
I found some updates on 4pdu, and on this site http://file.xygala.com/.
I updated my unit to xyauto_ui1_R2G_9218C_full_8227L_demo-ota-20200602_HIFI.
Anyone have a guide on configuring those units? Or any tutorials?
Or maybe a rooted new version of firmware? It sucks that u can not customise it as you want even if is android. I would try some apps for customisation... but idk how much it can run at 1GB RAM...

As a modder of these units, I have to tell you that the only way for you to make it run smoother is through custom firmware and root. Once enabled, you need to adjust some settings to ensure it runs well. I have made a post here that describes in detail how to improve units YT9213AJ and YT9216B but the principle is the same.

Can you repost the pictures? It's impossible to see anything. If your head unit has this label starting with YT9218CH:
and has 1Gb RAM 16 Gb FLASH, then you can try this mod I just released:

Noob help on updating Android Firmware

Hey All, I have a
32GB A-Sure Android 9.0 VW Golf MK5 MK6 9" Car Head Unit Stereo Sat Nav GPS DAB+
Purchased a few years back, the interface is starting to become sluggish, so was looking to update the firmware.
Is it possible to update to Android 10 on all units. If so, could you point me in the right direction of a website to download the file please.
Thanks in advance!

Updating to yet another stock firmware will not do any improvements on your head unit. There might be custom firmware for your head unit but you need to post a screenshot of your System Info. It will contain your MCU.

You can but you don't need to. Malaysk can run on 9 as well.

Great, thanks for that. I assume an MCU update to the most recent would be best practice before installing?

Hi @ExtremeMOD I'll would like your help and knowledge, I bought a year ago a Chinese android head unit, specifically a yt9216b in Aliexpress
(https://aliexpress.ru/item/10000205...4W7zQi_w9naFPgRWKuFXS_Vu6YMEwP6xoCxIgQAvD_BwE)
months ago I changed the default launcher to Car Launcher Free by Apps Lab Studio
(https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.autolauncher.motorcar.free&hl=es)
and a month ago suddenly the touchscreen has no response and I cant do anything at all
I haven't upgraded or modified any of the firmware or anything like that cause I don´t know how to do it, as I wrote I only change launcher cause it was an easy thing to do and for esthetical reasons.
I´ve watched some of your videos and the only thing I can share to you about de head unit is the next image and the video of the failure or malfunction, cause the touchscreen isn´t working I can´t go to see the kernel version.
thanks for reading and hopefully you can advice of what and how to do it
happy holidays!!

Check the flat cable in the middle, inside the unit. Sounds like it's loose. Or insert it the other way.
