Thank for this. Worked a treat for my head unit (2gb x 64gb). Replaced the firmware with the supermod 8 and no longer crashes the canbus on my peugeot 206. And don't lag now when using DAB and forward facing dash cam at the same time, let alone the constant crashing.
Hi @@extrememod_ahu , can you please help me with my android unit? I have it working just fine, then I wanted to connect the roof top monitor, and this is when the issue started. The screen of my unit went white and unresponsive. I tried resetting it from the reset button, power cycle, nothing. I do not have the kernel version or any other data, as I cannot start it. I did open it up and on the pcb it says Topway T3L-A109D4X1-V2. Please, how can I reset it or something that will make it work again?
On newer units, with all conectors in the same line, the trick that worked for me was to keep it plugged, give the reboot command and "turn the car key" off. Than plug it with start enabled and "turn the car key" on.
Backed up and flashed back with no issues thanks. ive come to install new rom yet on first part it says.. 6. Only tick boxes BOOT, SYSTEM (sometimes called ‘ANDROID’) and VENDOR. i have no vendor option in the options.

My headunit is already bricked and I could not make any backup. I will need to test point the unit, however I don't have the scatter file. How can I create the scatter file from the firmware files?
Brother thank you for sharing your wisdom and knowledge with this video. I tried to follow your instructions but for my unit YT7620B I need to push reset for a second and then keep it pressed for the HU to communicate with PC, it has MT6761 so the scatter file was not compatible either. Got a scatter file for this chip and the memory test option is now different and only has DRAM Flip test. Any ideas?
It's a different Mediatek chip so chances are, this tutorial will only partially apply. Unfortunately we haven't worked with your unit type so we can't advise any further right now
@@extrememod_ahu Thank you for your reply.

You need to have a professional to restore it for you if it's at all possible. We can give it a go if you are located in the UK or wish to send your unit to the UK.
Nice tutorial with good explanation. I have couple of questions. 1. Everytime when we take backup should I disconnect and reconnect and turn on the headunit?
@@extrememod_ahu i am on windows 11 and followed your instructions on video to install drivers but head unit is not connecting when I insert the USB cable. What would be the issue?

The procedure will work the same way yes. However you might need to connect your head unit to power after inserting the USB cable. Our software will however not work on your head unit.
The SP Flash Tool will not detect the head unit unless all cables including power are removed except for the 4-pin USB? In other words, it must be unplugged from the car when trying to flash? Thanks
@@extrememod_ahu now I flash a firmware working but touch not working and the information changed to 2g ram instead of 1g ram All working expt the touch
Hello. Section PART_USER FlashTool merges 15 minutes and turns off. I don't know how to divide into blocks and then connect them. Do I have a way out? You merged 40 minutes.
I have amdroid unit YT9260 mother board amd its touch suddenly stop working sp wt u think should i update the firmware it has android 10 and its a 8227l
Normally you only need to connect the USB cable when flashing via SP Flash Tool. Sometimes you need to connect the head unit to power after connecting the USB cable. When running ADB, then you need to have you head unit powered on, booted and connected to your PC.
@@extrememod_ahu I did all steps carefully and before flashing software where i had to tick box BOOT, ANDROID, AND VENDOR i was missing VENDOR box there was only boot, android. so i flashed , but nothing happened, same soft appeared. aSorry for bad english.
@@extrememod_ahu yes i did full reset, but it seems that after flash without VENDOR my old soft was booted with my old files, not like in your post pictures. So it took time to flash , but it seems nothing was flashed , just old software booted.
Hi subscribed good job you're doing... 🙂 Do you have the flash firmware of yt9216bj_00012_v001 ? Mine hangs on the android boot logo when switched on. Any solution?
Topway TS7 units are completely different. They are based on UIS8141E chip and are not meant to be fiddled with. They are probably the least modifiable head units and are meant to be well-configured from the get-go. TS9 are a little bit better in that way.
@@extrememod_ahu you mean to say all topway series which i think is (t3,ts7,t5,t9) are in same class? we can not modify them like mediatek right? so should i forget about rom flashing of all this? or is there possibility of any?
@@rajuradios Topway head units are based on different chipsets but in general are much less modifiable than Mediatek. In fact, Mediatek is by far the most modifiable technology while being the cheapest one as well. Rockchip technology powered by MTCx MCU chips is a close runner-up as far as mods go.
After installing the drivers, my pc doesn't see the HU. It's a 8227L (exactly the same thing as in your video, same home screen, only a different colour plastic on the back). I connected it to power. Memory test doesn't do anything. I'm using Windows 11. Any idea what's going wrong?
This method is only tested on Windows 10 and below. Also there are many different variants of 8227L head units. Check our "Test Point Recovery" video. Does your motherboard look the same?
I never knew that someone will come up with such simple amd helpful tutorial ,thanks a lot... A couple of months took me to figure out all these flashing ,connecting with usb A to A cable,and all ,4pda is like an ocean of information. (9216ch) is im having all i want is to put Android 8 or 9 or 10 but im not finding any rom .. can you help me ..?
Sometimes you need to connect your head unit to power 5 seconds after inserting the USB cable. And then keep it connected to power until you see "OK" screen. Try that.
@@extrememod_ahu It does not always recognize, I try what you tell me, and the car radio does not recognize me, what other steps I can do or what windows I can format my pc, please help me.
Provided your drivers installed correctly and you aren't running Windows 11 - try to connect your unit to power, after inserting the USB cable. Then disconnect from power before removing the USB cable
after i install the mediatek drivers i will be able to connect the head unit on the pc and run the adb commands? this all i need and the driver version works on windows 11 ?
hello i have a problem with YT9216bj i have rom Кастом прошивка 9216v7.3 ver 4.0 от Stranger21ufa form 4pda. Few days a go i had a problem with GPS. Gps dont find satelites and a few days i cant turn on wifi bluetoth. I must few times reboot device to start the radio app and listen to the radio . It is a hardware problem because im flash lower ver. it was the same. Can je help me please or place here link other web side where it wsas dealt with? Thx
Did everything work with the stock firmware? If you had issues before flashing the custom firmware, then it's likely a hardware issue. You could try to update the MCU but it's a highly risky process and can brick your head unit beyond normal means of repair.
@@extrememod_ahu I am tested few firmware and its the same. And mcu ? I dowgrade to 3.5 update back to 4.0 and 4.6 without changes. Before and after flash modified firmware everythink was fine. I have this problem 1 week. I used modified firmware 2 months and everythink ok. Do you thing ist problem from MCU?

Hi, i have 2 head units 8227l, one works and the other one have firmware problems, can i make a backup from the working one and flash it on the bad one? Thanks in advance.
While the internal Mediatek chip is the same as in the YT92 units, the rest is different so this tutorial will only partially apply to your unit type. Unfortunately we can't provide more information at this time
That's really a helpful guide for beginners. I am facing a problem. drivers are installed correctly and the HU also connects and shows up in the device manager but SP flash tool is unable to get/read anything from the HU, I don't know what I'm missing here. plz help me out i really want to update my HU. tried with 2 different PC both running win 10
Will this backup work for a 768 x 1024 ( 6bit ) display tesla type head unit. You also have a video for a complete fresh copy of Android system, all the mcu and model fit the criteria you have in the instructions except, again, the resolution as mentioned above 768 x 1024 do you thinkl this upgrade will work.
This heavily depends on the type of your motherboard but in theory this should work on most Mediatek devices. You might need to use another generic scatter but try the one included first.
I go Test mode and install driver like video. then install driver ( don't click delete the driver software.....) .press " start" and plug usb 4 pin also don't detect COM.
Make sure to restart the computer after installing the drivers. If this doesn't help, after inserting the USB cable, connect the unit to power - WITHOUT releasing the Test Point (you will probably need a second person to help you)
Hi, everything went smoothly but after I did Cut ROM including firmware... I was trying to copy the USERDATA from My scatter&..p. to My firmware, it wasn't there in My scatter&pre. map. I compared your screen map with mine, mine didn't has cach frp or USERDATA files. did I do anything wrong?! I fallowed you step-by-step.🙋 Thanks in advance
That's exactly what made me doubt it too. I think he copied these files from the "Hard Reset" folder to the "My Scatter and Preloader" folder before. Why he cut out this step I don't know. As you can see, the Hard Reset folder is no longer there.
Nice video, I made it exactly according to the video, it installs the old driver to the universal usb after uninstalling the software, not the hardware, nothing remains, running splas tool shows nothing, I have win 11

Hello there good sir, is it possible to install Android OS on non android units like Alpine EX900 ? There are some that did it on RUclips but they are on different country and they are charging big money for it , can you make a tutorial or let me know if it's possible?
It is NOT possible unless you do the necessary hardware modifications first. This is an extremely difficult task and makes little sense. If you are worried about losing the sound quality by purchasing an Android Head Unit, get a head unit with digital sound output (make sure your aftermarket car amp has a Digital IN). Alternatively, you can order one of our custom-made units that will outperform anything currently available on the head unit market in the similar price range.
Love what you're doing. Will firmware recognize upgraded memory chips (if available). I would like to have 4gb ram on a failed 1gb-16gb model I just pulled out of my van. Thanks 👍
It will not. It has to be not only the same memory amount but also the same memory type. The unit you are talking about is likely to only support up to 2Gb RAM. It's by far one of the most difficult mods as it will require some yoda-like Android programming skills to make it work.
@@extrememod_ahu the hardware I could handle...the android programming not so much. Thanks for the reply and putting this information together/out for others to use.👍
@@stephenwgreen78 upgrading the RAM on an already working head unit shouldn't cause issues. If you upgrade from 1GB to 2GB, you'll notice a significant difference in performance. Make sure to replace ALL RAM modules on the motherboard when going from 1 to 2 GB. It can be 1, 2 or 4 modules. Then boot your unit as normal and then check the available memory with a "RAM fill" app. Don't trust what you see on CPU-Z or AIDA64 types of apps, as the Android OS is many times hacked to show incorrect details. If all is well, create the full backup. Good luck!
I'm getting an error on the "Read Back" at minute 13:40 in the video. The error is "S_FT_READBACK_FAIL (4009)". This is "READ BACK" for the "ROM_USER" file. Any thoughts on this?
@@extrememod_ahu Thank you. Does this mean the default information being read from the head unit is incorrect somehow? I haven’t even gotten to the part where I put the custom image onto the unit. Also, the error appears at different points when I redo the steps, i.e… sometimes around 600MB read, sometimes around 400MB read, once around 1000MB read. Could this somehow be a data communication issue? Thanks again!
@@extrememod_ahu Yup, tried a different cable and it worked. Now the problem is that every time I flash the new image, the radio is in a boot loop cycle. I have done it 3 times so far. Every time I'm able to put the original image back on and it works fine but so far just a boot loop for the custom one. Radio is YT9216BF (I'm using the Supermod for android 8) Any thoughts? Thank you!
I'm not completely new to this as I used to be known on XDA developers I used to make ROMs for the Note 5 I was actually the first one to do it I used to make AOSP bass drums for it and other Galaxy phones but my first go around with a head unit and I've been out of it for a while. However is there a rooting thing or is that also on XDA
@@jthrasher47 when we use this on our own units, we first install an internal TF card slot through hardware modification, then use the SDCard for RAM swap, as you don't want to do thi on the main flash drive as it'll have a negative effect on it's shelf life. You can easily root your head unit by first installing a working TWRP console. You should be able to find TWRP for your unit type on XDA.
@@extrememod_ahu no there isn't a working TWRP image for my unit at all none that I can find. I went through your method and I'm not getting my computer to recognize it first it wouldn't install the drivers due to them not being signed.. Secondly I think it's because I had a USB 3.0 cable didn't have a USB 2.0 but I do have an adapter that'll go to USBC to usba that works fine on phones but still wouldn't recognize on the head unit.. It is much easier to operate with it out of the vehicle I had one of those adapters lying around in a 12 volt power supply... However I would love her working recovery image if I send you my stock image could you make one as I don't have a Linux setup at the moment so I can't do it
@PrivateName47 if you followed our instructions then you can see how we install the driver. This won't work on Windows 11. Make sure to use a USB cable shorter than 1m, no adapters and preferably USB2.0 port. You can use the contact form on our website to request TWRP for your unit and one of our team members will look at it.

The SP Flash Tool will not detect the head unit unless all cables including power are removed except for the 4-pin USB? In other words, it must be unplugged from the car when trying to flash? Thanks
Exactly. You should always do these kinds of installations on your desktop

Unlikely if it stopped working without any previous modifications to the Android system. Open it up and check the smallest flat cable.
Hi, thanks for the tutorial. Would like to ask Doni need to turn on radio while connecting to PC via USB cable or it can vee turned off ?
Normally you only need to connect the USB cable when flashing via SP Flash Tool. Sometimes you need to connect the head unit to power after connecting the USB cable.
When running ADB, then you need to have you head unit powered on, booted and connected to your PC.
@@extrememod_ahu I did all steps carefully and before flashing software where i had to tick box BOOT, ANDROID, AND VENDOR i was missing VENDOR box there was only boot, android. so i flashed , but nothing happened, same soft appeared. aSorry for bad english.
@@andriusbns07 if VENDOR isn't present, you can simply skip it. As for the firmware, did you run a full factory reset after the installation?
@@extrememod_ahu yes i did full reset, but it seems that after flash without VENDOR my old soft was booted with my old files, not like in your post pictures. So it took time to flash , but it seems nothing was flashed , just old software booted.

WHEN I UPLOAD THE BOOT1 IN WWR I DO NOT UPLOAD THE FILE ROM, HOW CAN I SOLVE? I FOLLOWED THE GUIDE STEP BY STEP
can you please suggest something about ts7 chips (topway) how backup and rom flash and with which softwares…
Topway TS7 units are completely different. They are based on UIS8141E chip and are not meant to be fiddled with. They are probably the least modifiable head units and are meant to be well-configured from the get-go. TS9 are a little bit better in that way.
@@extrememod_ahu you mean to say all topway series which i think is (t3,ts7,t5,t9) are in same class? we can not modify them like mediatek right? so should i forget about rom flashing of all this? or is there possibility of any?
@@rajuradios Topway head units are based on different chipsets but in general are much less modifiable than Mediatek. In fact, Mediatek is by far the most modifiable technology while being the cheapest one as well. Rockchip technology powered by MTCx MCU chips is a close runner-up as far as mods go.
After installing the drivers, my pc doesn't see the HU. It's a 8227L (exactly the same thing as in your video, same home screen, only a different colour plastic on the back). I connected it to power. Memory test doesn't do anything. I'm using Windows 11. Any idea what's going wrong?

Did everything work with the stock firmware? If you had issues before flashing the custom firmware, then it's likely a hardware issue. You could try to update the MCU but it's a highly risky process and can brick your head unit beyond normal means of repair.

While the internal Mediatek chip is the same as in the YT92 units, the rest is different so this tutorial will only partially apply to your unit type. Unfortunately we can't provide more information at this time
Wanna ask if i try to create all of this thing on stuck logo it will still work ??...sorry for my English
It will but it would be a pointless exercise as you'd have a backup of a faulty device.
That's really a helpful guide for beginners.

Thank you for the feedback. So after inserting the USB cable, 3 sec later connect your head unit to power.
Very good
Will this backup work for a 768 x 1024 ( 6bit ) display tesla type head unit. You also have a video for a complete fresh copy of Android system, all the mcu and model fit the criteria you have in the instructions except, again, the resolution as mentioned above 768 x 1024 do you thinkl this upgrade will work.
This heavily depends on the type of your motherboard but in theory this should work on most Mediatek devices. You might need to use another generic scatter but try the one included first.
I go Test mode and install driver like video. then install driver ( don't click delete the driver software.....) .press " start" and plug usb 4 pin also don't detect COM.
Make sure to restart the computer after installing the drivers. If this doesn't help, after inserting the USB cable, connect the unit to power - WITHOUT releasing the Test Point (you will probably need a second person to help you)
Hi, everything went smoothly but after I did Cut ROM including firmware... I was trying to copy the USERDATA from My scatter&..p. to My firmware, it wasn't there in My scatter&pre. map.

@@fabrizioalmeida8435 thx man
That's exactly what made me doubt it too. I think he copied these files from the "Hard Reset" folder to the "My Scatter and Preloader" folder before. Why he cut out this step I don't know. As you can see, the Hard Reset folder is no longer there.
Nice video, I made it exactly according to the video, it installs the old driver to the universal usb after uninstalling the software, not the hardware, nothing remains, running splas tool shows nothing, I have win 11

Well in this digital age it's all about Internet and DAB radio. Many of the manufacturers are focusing on that, by the looks of it
Hello there good sir, is it possible to install Android OS on non android units like Alpine EX900 ? There are some that did it on RUclips but they are on different country and they are charging big money for it , can you make a tutorial or let me know if it's possible?
It is NOT possible unless you do the necessary hardware modifications first. This is an extremely difficult task and makes little sense.
If you are worried about losing the sound quality by purchasing an Android Head Unit, get a head unit with digital sound output (make sure your aftermarket car amp has a Digital IN). Alternatively, you can order one of our custom-made units that will outperform anything currently available on the head unit market in the similar price range.

Love what you're doing. Will firmware recognize upgraded memory chips (if available). I would like to have 4gb ram on a failed 1gb-16gb model I just pulled out of my van.
Thanks 👍
It will not. It has to be not only the same memory amount but also the same memory type. The unit you are talking about is likely to only support up to 2Gb RAM. It's by far one of the most difficult mods as it will require some yoda-like Android programming skills to make it work.
@@extrememod_ahu the hardware I could handle...the android programming not so much. Thanks for the reply and putting this information together/out for others to use.👍
@@stephenwgreen78 upgrading the RAM on an already working head unit shouldn't cause issues. If you upgrade from 1GB to 2GB, you'll notice a significant difference in performance. Make sure to replace ALL RAM modules on the motherboard when going from 1 to 2 GB. It can be 1, 2 or 4 modules.
Then boot your unit as normal and then check the available memory with a "RAM fill" app. Don't trust what you see on CPU-Z or AIDA64 types of apps, as the Android OS is many times hacked to show incorrect details.
If all is well, create the full backup. Good luck!

Normally this indicates an incorrect ROM_USER file. Try to splice it up making it into a firmware package instead, shown at the end of the tutorial
@@extrememod_ahu Thank you. Does this mean the default information being read from the head unit is incorrect somehow? I haven’t even gotten to the part where I put the custom image onto the unit.

@@jthrasher47 when we use this on our own units, we first install an internal TF card slot through hardware modification, then use the SDCard for RAM swap, as you don't want to do thi on the main flash drive as it'll have a negative effect on it's shelf life.
You can easily root your head unit by first installing a working TWRP console. You should be able to find TWRP for your unit type on XDA.
@@extrememod_ahu no there isn't a working TWRP image for my unit at all none that I can find. I went through your method and I'm not getting my computer to recognize it first it wouldn't install the drivers due to them not being signed..
Secondly I think it's because I had a USB 3.0 cable didn't have a USB 2.0 but I do have an adapter that'll go to USBC to usba that works fine on phones but still wouldn't recognize on the head unit..
