Y2Linux Baseline 49 — ready-made images for a first install, and the update for players that already run Y2Linux.

Already running Y2Linux (46 or later)

Settings → About & Updates → Check for Updates → Download Update → Restart and Install. Your Wi-Fi and Bluetooth firmware is kept automatically.

New install (from stock)

You need SP Flash Tool v5.2032, a USB cable, this release's Y2Linux-49-first-install.zip and the Innioasis Y2 firmware package v3.2.0 from Innioasis.

  1. Unpack the Y2Linux zip and the Innioasis package.
  2. SP Flash Tool → Download Only → load MT6582_Android_scatter.txt from the Y2Linux zip. Exactly BOOTIMG, RECOVERY, ANDROID and USRDATA are ticked.
  3. Click Download, connect the switched-off Y2; wait for the green tick.
  4. Unplug, press Power: Y2Linux and Reborn start.
  5. Connect the Y2 to the computer again and copy system.img from the Innioasis package to the Firmware drive. The player takes the Wi-Fi/Bluetooth firmware from it and turns the radios on.

Full guide: INSTALL · why RECOVERY is flashed: Recovery and updates

What's new

  • No proprietary MediaTek firmware in any image. Each player uses its owner's copy (kept across updates). The system images of releases 46–48 were removed because they contained it.
  • One-time flash package with the Y2 recovery image; afterwards everything updates over Wi-Fi.
  • Bluetooth codecs: SBC, AAC (fdk-aac-free, AAC-LC) and LDAC.
  • Headphone load measurement and two CS43131 driver fixes (thanks @samanz, #38); covers that load reliably, A–Z sorting that ignores case, accents and "The", genre titles on the album grid (thanks @samanz, Y2Reborn #6–#8).

Files

  • Y2Linux-49-first-install.zip: images, scatter files and checksums for SP Flash Tool. The data image has no SSH key (developers: tools/production/first_owner.py).
  • manifest.json, manifest.sig, rootfs.ext4.gz, bootimg.img.gz, recovery.img.gz: the signed over-the-air update (Ed25519 key platform-v1-release-20261015, sequence 4900).
  • Y2Linux-49-sources-*: corresponding sources (Buildroot legal-info with package sources, patches and licences; the Linux 6.18.56 archive). Our own code is this repository and Y2Reborn at tag baseline-49.
  • SHA256SUMS for all of the above.

Kernel 6.18.56-y2linux-platform-v1-power-final-49. Developer preview; use at your own risk. Not affiliated with Innioasis or MediaTek.
