After downloading the zip file from torrent I've unzipped it (extracted all). After doing this Windows Vista creates a new file without the .zip extension. What i'm not clear on is when I explore the content of the new file, there are more zipped files inside!! I then unzip those, ie DATA file. I then delete the .zip file and leave the newly created file after unzipping. Is this correct or not. Maybe this is causing my update malfunction. My unit displays a Windows box on startup for a split second after the Pioneer logo, that says, "Program application database cannot be found". Then when the main menu boots up the "startup in progress" box does not go away. Finally after like a couple minutes the system keeps rebooting. I've been wrestling with this for 3 days now. Please any suggestions or help will be greatly appreciated. I have the Avic-f900bt unit.

After walking through all the steps, everything looks to be ok but the system constantly reboots every 5 minutes. I hear the new button sounds, and can check the system info and it shows I am running 3.0 firmware. But the "System Startup" message never goes away, and the whole unit reboots after 5 minutes.

 

I am thinking it is the WinCE update. When booting into testmode, and checking the WinCE version, it shows that it is 5.0. I thought I read here (somewhere??) that it should be 6.x. I grabbed all the files from page one in this thread, and didn't get any errors at any stage. I am running a F900BT. Any help would be much appriciated!

 

Thanks

I have an Avic f900bt as well and it is doing the same thing!!! Has anyone figured out a way to correct this issue??? Please let me know before I rip this piece of junk out and smash it on the ground into a million little pieces ...J/K, seriously though I need help!!!

When the flash disk dump is downloaded, do we have to go in each folder and extract (unzip) all .zip files? including the ones in the iGo folders (ie. DATA.zip, branding.zip, branding EW.zip)? And if so, when performed it creates a copy of that same file without the .zip. Must we delete the .zip files once extraction is complete and the new one is created?? Please help on this topic. I do not know if leaving .zip files within a large file is ok or not. I have performed the "extract all" feature, but for some reason it still leaves .zip files within the iGo folder for example. Thanks, any comments or info will be greatly appreciated.
