Copy your file to a USB stick then plug the USB stick into the headunit then turn the headunit on.

Hi,

I’ve just gone through the official update process for my JY‑UQD10N4G (Android 12 / QCM6125 Snapdragon) head unit and it worked perfectly. Here's a clear step-by-step guide:

? Step-by-Step Firmware Update Guide
Identify your system version
The JY‑UQD10N4G is based on the Android 12 QCM6125 Snapdragon system, so make sure you use firmware specifically labeled for Android 12 QCM6125 units — otherwise, the update won’t work

Download firmware on a Windows 10 PC
Use a Windows 10 computer to download and extract the update package. This is mandatory — Windows 11 often has extraction issues unless you unblock the ZIP

Prepare your USB drive:

• Format as FAT32, capacity under 32 GB
• Transfer the un‑zipped update files directly to the root, without altering folder structure

Run the update:
• Plug the USB into the OTG port of the Joying unit
• The update starts automatically (approx. 5–8 minutes

• Don’t power off, don’t disconnect USB, and don’t touch the unit

Reboot & finalize:

• The screen will say: “Please remove update device. Device will reboot”
• Remove the USB and let the unit restart
• After reboot, complete initialization (takes ~1–2 minutes), then verify calibration, apps, CarPlay/Android Auto functions
.

If you're unsure:
Joying warns that installing the wrong firmware (e.g., Android 10, Android 8, or mismatched resolution packs) can brick your unit — check your exact model and resolution before proceeding
.

Right-click the ZIP → Properties → “Unblock” → Apply → Re-extract, or move ZIP off OneDrive/Dropbox

I actually shared a detailed guide in the OutrightCRM blog—complete with screenshots, troubleshooting advice, and explanations of how to safely handle different resolution packs and UI variations. You’ll also find handy tips for backing up your settings and why updating from Windows 10 matters.

Hope this helps all JY‑UQD10N4G owners get up and running smoothly! If you hit any snags or your unit isn’t behaving right, just share your exact model (screen resolution, presence of LT, etc.) and we’ll get it sorted together.

Safe flashing,
