WHAT CAN THIS MEAN FOR THE FUTURE OF THE INTEL HEAD UNIT
https://ami.com/board-support-packages/
It looks like we should be able to get some code and kernel for android 6.0..now we just need to find someone to build a roms for us
food for thought can we do something like this for our intel units ...this could open some doors for us
http://www.cnx-software.com/2014/12/...k3288-devices/
wasn't necessary thinking Linux ubuntu only...but if you made bootloader look for a system on a sd card android,linux,windows,exc...you could have a dual boot system....this would be awesome it would make it easier to mod system files and experiment with different os and have the ability to pop out the sd card and be back to stock config if you didn't want to boot off sd card make an sd card to redirect boot loader back to internal system...or if bootloader can't find a os on sd make it default back to internal system. ..I think something like this would be one of the best things that could help speed up development and allow roms that were built for different partition sizes and systems become more Universal .
Anyone want to chime in
Can this be done

The head unit JOYING JY-UL135N2 with CPU Intel Atom Sofia come with new firmware structure (neither update.zip nor dupdate.img + dmcu.img like other Joying AMR headunit ). As you can see on this https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0Bz8umNL1qrsoLVh5cHVSdmVQOWc
I add some file and script to 5009_20.zip to root firmware but the new firmware can't be pass the verify of upgrade screen.

Can you help us root this firmware ? https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0Bz8umNL1qrsoLVh5cHVSdmVQOWc
Yes I have seen that that's why I wanted someone to use titanium backup on there unit and do a full backup or nandroid. Also .titanium I believe will generate a update.zip file that could be flashed...once this is done you could just do a standard restore with a titanium or nandroid backup. ....I have reached out to a few people about a multirom boot setup hopefully we can get that to work and boot and flash to sd cards....
Also remember some units are 16gb and others are 32gb so the partition tables will be different. .but that's nothing that can't mod to be fixed...another reason multirom flash to sd card would make life easier
this can be the answer if can this be done with our head unit.... http://www.xda-developers.com/install-use-multirom-xdatv/

:fingers-crossed: can install or update MultiROM, it's recovery and kernels. It can also install Ubuntu Touch system-image based builds into MultiROM as a secondary ROM.
MultiROM is one-of-a-kind multi-boot mod for Android devices. It can boot any Android ROM as well as other systems like Ubuntu Touch. Besides booting from device's internal memory, MultiROM can boot from USB drive connected to the device via OTG cable. The main part of MultiROM is a boot manager, which appears every time your device starts and lets you choose ROM to boot. You can see how it looks on the left image below and in gallery. ROMs are installed and managed via modified TWRP recovery. You can use standard ZIP files to install secondary Android ROMs, daily prebuilt image files to install Ubuntu Touch and MultiROM even has its own installer system, which can be used to ship other Linux-based systems.
.Here's the deal... if we could dual boot another android os for head unit let just say rom from joying or other brand/manufacturer you could test rom see what works and what doesnt , modify rom ,extract apps from rom and if rom was better you could make rom you primary boot ..(i also believe we could add or mod the mcu part back in the rom).:fingers-crossed:... and you would be able to test this all with out erasing you stock configuration or stock rom ....you would be able to test and develop new updates as they come out.. you could test with out erasing or wiping your system.. you could run Ubuntu ,Ubuntu touch or other more pc based os and still have the ability to reboot and be back in radio os android mode....and I think there is a fun factor here with experimenting and adding more function to the head unit

there are now at lease two types of intel units out there ones based off mtcd and non mtc ones on a totally new board...the firmware should be similar as for there both built for intel x86....developments that help one should be able to be applied to the other...the biggest thing that i think that would help both platforms would be the ability to dual boot these models so you could run experimental os fw os a sd card and still have the ability to go back to stock configuration simply by removing the sd card with the os on it or just telling the bootloader to boot the stock system img....thist is where i think we need to focus and develop.....
Joying JY-UL135N2 2G RAM 32G (Intel Sofia3g and STM8S207C8T6 MCU)
My unit:
Joying JY-UL135N2 2G RAM 32G (Intel Sofia3g, STM8S207C8T6 MCU, TDA7388)
This is not MTCD based unit. My MCU chip is STM8S207C8T6
I got following MCU Version: 2016-08-29 15:46:12 JY_(NOR)__90_C9_7706_5009_CAN(GX)_Newlap.
Purchased from here: Joying on Aliexpress
Photos of the unit outside
Photos of the unit inside
Original (non-modified) boot.img and recovery.img
Note that I have not verified the content, as I do not have sufficient knowledge. I was guided by gurus to extract these partitions from the unit just in case someone really needs them. I have not tested files personally.

Root instructions (credit to Spider84 for providing instructions and modifying boot.img):
https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B2DmzEjJljx3OXlQM2RFbWp4UWc
Method 1 (didn't work for me, as I could not figure out how to enter revovery):
1) Copy to USB thumb Drive
2) install from recovery
Method 2 (didn't work for me either):
1) Copy to USB thumb Drive
2) Go to Settings -> about device -> system updates
3) System should ask if you want to install update
Method 3 (worked for me):
1) you need to know how to connect and use adb. I connected using head IP address from laptop connected to the same wifi router. I did not use any additional apps or software (other than adb from android sdk). Hint: https://developer.android.com/studio/command-line/adb.html
2) extract su.img, SuperSu.apk and boot.img form the update.zip, place it on USB drive
3) use following commands:
cd /mnt/usb_storage3 (change path according to your USB drive)
cp su.img /data/su.img
cp SuperSu.apk /data/SuperSu.apk
dd if=boot.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p9
4) reboot
THIS IS A GREAT START THANK YOU
a system ROM zip for seller would be useful ...
.also please use apk extractor (updated instructions and link in first post)and back up all apps and system apps and upload that would be helpful.....
we need a full backup copy of total system try to make with nandroid backup or titanium backup you would need root to do this ..
I just got what you've been waiting for, the Joying upgrade file dated 10-31. I have the JY-UL135N2, just like StingerRUS above. I e-mailed Joying about the update shown in Boy ka's youtube, and they sent it to me here: https://mega.nz/#!iUECzLDB!oxXcP9Xa_jOeH3NTWoqwlPNzfYbeOHcJ_hP1NhvHCQs
I kept trying to ask them to show me how to root, as stated on their website root is supported, but they kept saying it's not recommended and would "make chaos for the unit". I tried Kingoroot, but that failed. Hope this file helps.

The rear of your unit looks pretty interesting with those 2 antennas plus the wifi antenna to the right..(that's disconnected) Unless that's GPS ?
Do you have a link for it ?
The disconnected one is the gps antenna.... The other ones:
1) wifi
2) guy from HotAudio claims to be 3G antenna

Why do you want me multi OS on these units?
You will lose all the interaction with MCU, as it is programmed to interact to Android part.

Hello everyone, I am entering the world of android radios, I want to update the android version of my HU.
The main problem is that I have tried several versions of ROM but they give me an error when updating my unit. ¿Can you give me a hand? :ángel: :bueno:
Kernel version
3.10.0
rocky @ hctr930 # 1271
Build number
px5-userdebug 6.0.1 MXC89L user.hct.20171121.160115 test-keys
MCU version
MTCE_LM_v2.72_1 (updated LM_v3.49)
With these data, what version of ROM should I install? I have tried but they all give me error.... : eek:
HCT4_px5_9.0_ota(20190813)
mx4_PX5_8.0_ota(20190219）
px5_9.0_ota_Original UI(20200512)
hct4_px5_9.0_With NEW UI(20200509)
HCT4_px5_10.0_ota(20200624)
The method I have used is the upgrade at boot, copying update.zip and dmcu.img in the root of the sd card, and inserting it in the GPS slot.
The system detects the update and the radio restarts, the android doll comes out with the update applying message, but after a few minutes they give me an error and the update is suspended.:llorando:
:confuso:
Its been a while (a long while) since I messed with my android unit and the last update I did was going from android 6 to hal9k rom using the mod installed pro I bought from his site.
My unit is one of those that has the sd card slot but doesnt work for booting to update.
I know that I may pay 11EUR (I have the discount since I purchase it once) and get the mod installer pro 2 and with that, boot to recovery for android 9 or 10
But since I have time (will take the unit out of my car to sell it, cause I am replacing with a UIS7862 one) on my bench, what is a proper guide on how I can do that?
I imagine my only option (without paying) would be the OTG? I may have the cable somewhere since I bricked my unit more than once in the past.
Thanks in advance!

My Unit is old af (came with android 6) so it doest have OTG via usb.
I unbricked using OTG with cable directly on the SOM so I think this will be only option aside from modinstalller.
