IT'S FIXED!!!!!!!!!!!! Creating the PRG.FLG file and pasting it to the USER file finished the job! Thanks everyone for the help...I really appreciate it!

Is there a way to remove the password all together even though I have it now?

I deleted the APL folder by accident because after I copy/pasted the AV.EXE I hit mode not realizing that the track menu slid over and was highlighting DELETE instead of ENTER

I was able to complete all the steps above...just nothing changed on my unit once done. I would have to say that nothing was ever updated on the unit. I just created a PRG.FLG file that I am saving to my SD card now and I'm going to load it to the User folder.

If this doesn't work, how can I do the 2015 upgrade?

 

Testmode is not very intuitive. I am guessing here but it sounds like the AV1.exe file was not correctly selected. Try this. In testmode:

navigate to the folder where AV1.exe is on the HU

• scroll down until AV1.exe is highlighted.
• press the right trk arrow button until "Copy" is highlighted. Note that "Paste" is grayed.
• press "Mode" to select it, Note that there is a "+" next to AV1.exe and "Paste" is no longer grayed.
• scroll up to the top and hightlight ".."
• press trk > multiple times until "Enter" is highlighted
• press Mode until you are at the highest level of the directory structure.
• now navigate into the SD folder to where you want the file to be written
• press Trk > until "Paste" is highlighted
• press Mode

Ron, accidentally I deleted the APL file out of PRG1... I copied the EPL file that was on PRG0 and pasted it in the other. Are they the same? Should I be OK? For some reason after doing what was described it is still not working

Thanks...thought I did it that way but will give it a try again when I get home

I got test mode working and recovered password thanks to BlakeStone's help and using IAmSuperBleeder's detailed description and pics...I was following the part about coping the AV1.exe file and pasting it to the SD card in order to change the name of the file on the PC but how to you paste it on the SD card??? I tried it a few ways and it appears that the paste function is grayed out when I go into SD under file maintenance?

I can't figure out in this forum how to get the supertestmode.key to run. When I put the SD card in the radio nothing happens? Do the files need to be extracted from the zip file on the SD card?

I get it that nobody wants to be bothered with this anymore but I didn't install the hack and I'm stuck trying to fix it so would appreciate any help I could get

I found super test mode and saved it to an SD card. It is a zip file. Do I need to do anything before plugging the ST card into the unit? I don't really understand how to get test mode to actually run

A little Windows box popped up on the screen that said "enter hack mode"...that's all I know

It may have been...I didn't do it. Can I still run test mode?

The battery went dead in my little brothers cars and he didn't have the password for his AVIC X930BT so he downloaded a hack file to an SD card and inserted it in the unit and I don't know what else. Now the screen just has a FORD OVAL LOGO in the middle of the screen and says PIONEER underneath that. Nothing happens when you press any of the buttons or anything. I have been doing some research online and saw something about a test mode? Before I do anything, I want to see if someone could advise me how to proceed
