Hello XDA-developers,
I bought a new tablet a few days ago and have a slight problem regarding the Mac Address. It keeps changing after turning on wifi every time.
I found mutliple answers to similar problems but they didn't work for this specific tablet.
Now, I need to know if there is a way to change it to a static Mac Address, it uses Lollipop 5.1 and I rooted it using KingoRoot for Windows.
I just made some search for myself and found a file called "setmacaddr" (without extension). I don't know if it's just a thing every tablet has or if it is the problem.
If you need more information about the tablet, don't hesitate asking me!
Sincerely,
Marvin
EDIT:
I rooted this tablet because it had the problem when it was not rooted. I needed to root it for the methods I tried till now. (Like I said, they didn't work)
Hello, it's me again,
does anybody have a clue at least what I can try to do?
Would help me very much!
Solution:
I solved the problem in a slighty different way.
I know this is not the best way but maybe someone just needs a similar solution!
I bought a USB 2.0 -OTG ethernet adapter² and connected it with the switch next to my pc, which is connected to the router. Thus, you are able to have stable internet connection without minding your MAC-Address in most of the time (like 99,9%). Of course, your tablet only gets internet while plugged into it, so you may only do this if your tablet remains in nearly the same place or if you are able to quickly wire it different.
² can't post the link to the product because I'm a new user. Any USB-2.0 OTG ethernet adapter should work, it just needs a micro usb otg plug.
PLEASE HELP (MAZDA 3 2018 AND SAMSUNG GALAXY S20+)
Can anyone help me? I recently just received my aawireless and my first setup process went smoothly. However on my second attempt to wait for my phone (Samsung S20+) to connect, it took awhile so I became a little worried (should of waited abit more) and I tried to troubleshoot the waiting time by unpairing it from my bluetooth devices on my phone so i can pair to it again, which i never happened. I then proceeded to do a reset by sticking a pin on the reset button, which i dont know if it worked because it doesnt signal me if it worked. (Attempted to click the reset button multiple times) The reset button did not help or change anything. However, when i went to reinstall my aawireless app, it is now prompting me to connect to an aawireless unit which I did attempt multiple times. As i tried multiple times for the app to find the device, it said device cannot be found. The LED light is always flashing a slow steady green light. Can anyone help? I have messaged Emil via Indegogo.

Hi all does anyone else have an issue with apple carplay showing pixilation and artefacts on the screen?
Seller is not much help with this issue.
did you resolve the issue? does restart the head unit help?
No couldn’t resolve the problem. Restarting the headunit or phone would clear it but it kept coming back. I’ve since changed to a Teyes cc3 and haven’t had the issue
Thanks for the quick reply, I have the same pixilation problem, not as bad as yours, still useable. just want to check if there's any solution
I did try everything but just couldn’t sort it. Not much on the internet about it but some merc users had it but was fixed with a reboot of the phone.
There is a lot to find about "apple carplay pixelation" on the apple forums like "I pressed the home button and then Apple car play again and the screen went back to normal without losing the route map." Of course this is only a work-around.
Next to that: keep an eye on new releases of the carlink app. The latest version (multiple links in this forum) solves a lot of issues.
Thank you. I did try multiple versions and the seller was sending updated carlink apks but none worked. I also bought a dongle which showed the same issue unless the software was set to software mode and not hardware. Once I did that the CarPlay screen wasn’t as high res but didn’t show any pixelation.
Mine freaked out like that a few times.
I made sure it wasn't on Satellite view, used 5G wifi, and it mostly took care of it. sometimes all it took to clear was pulling down the menu on the head unit or dismissing the lower menu bar or similar.

And you both tried it on wireless and via USB?
I can imagine that wireless is the nicest one, but if a USB cable solves "everything", I would still use it. Maybe not for a 5 minute drive, but certainly for over an hour. It takes just as much time to connect/disconnect as to use one of the work-arounds during the trip (and maybe multiple times).
Yeah tried wireless 2.4ghz, 5ghz and wired with different cables.

Mine never connected via USB. I think only one of my USBs alllows that, and I chose the wrong one when piping it through to the front camera (i'd have to connect to it behind the glovebox)
I don't use carplay anymore since getting a DPI changer to make google maps actually usable on the screen. Before it was too small. wish I could set resolution by app or some kind of zoom mode for maps.
I agree about the dpi. I’ve changed mine to around 622 so that apps are more useable on the road.

Yeah, I had that too. Mine has 3 USB connections, but one seems not functional (or is that one the OTG? I did not even try, to be honest). 2 are in the glovebox and the 3rd behind the glovebox connected to my DAB+ antenna.

1. Is there any mods worth doing?
2. Is there any better firmware to flash/use to make this unit 'better'
3. I have changed to nova launcher and it seems to be snappier, any questions here?
4. What can I use to re-program buttons on my steering wheel? What it comes with doesnt seem to work.
5. Its actually android 10, not 11, its spoofed I checked.

It's a FYT unit. Any firmware from a FYT reseller can be used be it for uis7862 or uis8581A. The 8581A is simply the "lighter" less poweful brother of the uis7862. There are some minimal tweaks you have to apply and the lsecupdate binary is different. Of course, if you find a real uis8581firmware it might be better.
1. Only if you have problems, go for a mod.
2. If you do not even know the brand/reseller of your unit, how can anyone advice for better firmware? Next to that: 98% of the firmware for FYT units is identical. Only some differences in "theme" for the launcher (but you use Nova anyway). Your app firmware is of December 2021. There is newer available, but that means it will wipe your system. So far I only flashed newer kernels (read the uis7862 Q&A, etc. thread) hoping they patched the kernel with Android bugfixes and security improvments in the newer kernels, and keep the rest as it is (no AllAppUpdate.bin), thereby also keeping all my settings and 3rd party apps. Again: If you don't encounter errors, there is no need for other firmware. Note: do not flash T'eyes firmware. It is not bad but it does contain quite some restricted firmware making your unit perform much worse.
3. I use Nova as well and I am happy with it. No questions here
4. Do you have a CAN-bus? if so, they are hard-coded and you can't reprogram them unless you use something like my "FYT HW OneKey" app that lets you reprogram part of the buttons.
5. That's correct. The android level is determined by the SDK. The Android version setting (for easy version status) is nothing more than a property and can just as easily be set (or faked) to 17, 31 or 145, etc..

Wow thanks for the reply mate you're an absolute damn legend
I'm quite ok with how it functions I don't have any said errors or problems. Good to know some of this info really I mean it thanks again.
Mine is faked however I don't really mind or care I didn't think the components would have been able to power this soc!
I don't have any functions for a cheap Chinese thing it does it job with Waze and music. And occasionally YouTube for a podcast.
Yes sir I do have canbus so I'll be looking for that tool asap. I wanted to reprogram a button for Spotify next song. Nothing special!
Is there ever a time where I should be updating the firmware at all? Like sau year down the track? Or do they stop servicing them?
I was hoping there was a hal9k mod for this one too but I lucked out there

In the settings you can reverse next-previous and/or Vol-Up/Vol-Down if your app/system reacts the other way round, like Spotify does for example. You do not need my app for that.
Like said: so far I have only updated the kernel (6513_1.zip) and nothing else. I only use the unit for navigation, radio and music. Note though that those FYTs still contain an error where they erase your Google contacts if you sync them. It seems the latest T'eyes/Joying firmware doesn't do that anymore, which als means that the somewhat slower resellers like Mekede etcetera should follow soon. (but I don't call from my car. Maybe twice a year)
All those mods are for MTCD/E models, not for FYT.
The only FYT mod is made by @gordgelin but only for real T'eyes models (like mentioned :some T'eyes stuff only works if you have a T'eyes id on your unit).
Tyukta at 4pda makes "a best of" mod where he simply takes the latest kernel and combines it with (what he considers) the best apps (themes actually) from other firmwares (the AllAppUpdate.bin) and he himself also does some theming to apps.

Cool well thats pretty straight forward I dont have any issues with it, so Ill be leaving it for now and just using your tool for re-programming buttons.
The infamous google contact deletion happened to me, i managed to restore which is really good, however it was annoying. It would of been really good if the google phone app would of worked with it over BT, but it does require a sim (the unit goes support 4g however i dont use a sim).
Ill be ready over the guides today to see for your tools
Hi Gentlemen,
I bought same FYT few days back, succeeded with installation to old MB w211. However i faced problem with Bluetooth connection. It seems like Bluetooth driver or module in head unit is not working properly. I tried to reset factory settings, but still have issue with Bluetooth connection.
Could you please be so kind and share your advice on that. Maybe firmware update is required, but i don't know where to find it out.
I would really appreciate your assistance. Sorry for my English, i am not native speakers.
Thanks in advance Gentlemen.
Hi, is anyone willing to share about what kernel to download? And my Bluetooth is not working recently and shows “null”. Help!!! My android SDK29

This unit? Which unit?
That is like: "My phone has a snapdragon-750 cpu". Which firmware should I download?
(select about 25 brands with 200+ models).
Be more specific.
I have a k4811 (8581) and was wondering if there is a way to fix adb to make it work? enabling it in dev options does nothing (the device isn't detected when a laptop is plugged in to USB and adb wifi also rejects connections).... will the FYT MC app work on this device? ex. root button?
Hello everyone, I bought a UIS8581A and I also have problems with bluetooth where I can't connect my ELM327 adapter because I can't even open the bluetooth settings to do so.
The salesman who sold me the radio can't help me right now. Can anyone help me?
Otherwise I have to return the radio to the seller

You should have an app called "Bluetooth" (not inside settings, but an actual preinstalled app).
What happens when you open the Bluetooth app?
I continue the discussion here which talks about my problem with the OBD module
OBD over WIFI and the Internet
I am a recent FYT user on UIS8581A, Android 11 (fake). I have a sim card connected to it that provides internet. When I connect WiFi with OBD, internet connectivity is broken. WiFi without internet has priority in data transmission over SIM card...
forum.xda-developers.com
Yesterday I tried to pair by changing the radio name, password and all the craziest tests I could think of but nothing.
My bluetooth screen is the first photo I attach
When I try to connect one of my three working ELM327 minis, nothing happens, I touch the symbol of the chain to connect, it asks me for the pin of the ELM module, I insert it (it is 1234), after a few seconds a message appears "pairing succeeded". But that's not true, because the chain symbol doesn't change, in Torque I don't see the module (try various versions of torque) and I can repeat the bluetooth pairing indefinitely but it never works.
Any app I use for bluettoth tells me that bluetooth is not working or can't be turned on. But if I connect a smartphone it works.
I do not know what to do
Anyone can help me?

I am trying to understand what is happening with my bricked UIS8581A unit.
I flashed the wrong FW. It appears to be completely dead apart from feeling warmth on the rear of the unit when I add power to yellow and red (power and acc) wires while it is grounded (black). I have an update.zip (1.2GB) and a full firmware (3.6GB) from the seller.
The part I am wishing to understand is this:
With the full FW uncompressed in an update folder on a USB stick's root, plugged into the 4pin usb port on the unit, I power the unit on and there is no indication of the USB stick being accessed (red LED on USB stick not lit). I have a USB-A to USB-A cable plugged into the second USB port (6 pin). When I plug the other end of the male to male USB into my laptop (up to date USB drivers installed) that is powered on, the USB stick's LED begins to flash as indication it is being accessed. The LED remains lit for several minutes and then begins to flash (appears to be random flashes). After about 20-30 minutes the USB's LED flashes in a repeating pattern. I have left this USB stick continue whatever it is doing for hours. After disconnecting the laptop from the USB, disconnecting the USB stick, and cycling the power to the unit, the unit is still bricked. Plugging the USB stick back into the 4 pin USB port (with power on), the USB's LED remains unlit indicating it is not being accessed still. Recycling the power to the unit does nothing. Only when I re-connect the USB-A to USB-A cable from the unit to my laptop the USB stick is accessed. Disconnecting the cable, the LED turns off. This is the only life I have witnessed since bricking the unit.
I am wondering why the USB is indicating it is being accessed, only when connected to my laptop.
Does anyone know what is going on here when I connect the unit with my laptop and the USB's LED indicates it is being accessed?
Please don't reply, unless you have specific knowledge.
To all who don't reply, thank you for not wasting my time! It is appreciated...
@S2artb What comes to mind is how you are resetting your unit. I'm not sure if this will work and/or if this applies to your unit. There is a reset hole in the top left of the display. I'm not sure of the exact sequence, but you can try that. Search this or the forum that applies to your unit, if this forum doesn't apply to yours.

Do not connect your unit with the laptop. This will not help at all.
Which unit do you have? This is the FYT forum and there are many UIS8581A units that are not FYT.
Which wrong firmware did you use?
You tell us absolutely nothing that we need to help you.
For several days I have been trying to solve one extremely strange problem that arose when working with the Huawei MatePad Pro 11 tablet.
This tablet definitely knows how to output an image to an external monitor or TV through its Type-C port.
To do this, you need to use special adapters or docking stations that can output an image via Type-C to the HDMI port.
Unfortunately, none of the adapters I've tried have worked properly!
I tried two adapters - Ugreen CM511 and Xiaomi 5-in-1 dockstation.
Both adapters perfectly display the image through the Type-C port to the HDMI port if they are connected to laptops or computers, as well as to other tablets that have the ability to work with the so-called "HDMI Alt Mode".
However, whenever I try to connect either of these two adapters to my Huawei MatePad 11 Pro tablet and then connect the HDMI cable to the adapter and monitor/TV, a message appears on the tablet screen with the following text:
"Projection
Connection failed. Please reconnect the cable or restart the device."
After that, you can reconnect the adapter or cable at least as many times and the exact same message will appear. Rebooting the tablet also does not solve the problem.
At the same time, for other acquaintances - owners of exactly the same tablet as mine, everything works fine, and the "Projection" system application with the indicated adapters starts successfully without error, offering two options for broadcasting images to an external monitor / TV. When choosing any option with someone else's tablet, everything works fine.
I already "broke my brain" trying to understand what happened in Harmony OS on my tablet and what kind of failure happened?
I can not do a full reset on the tablet. Too much specific paid software is installed on it.
It will be a real hell if I have to reinstall everything "from scratch" after a hard reset.
I kindly ask experienced users to try to help me with tips to solve this extremely strange problem.
Thank you!
And yet I found the cause of this problem and its solution!
Here on this friendly mobile forum I explained everything in detail:
