Can we work on porting to android now with haret? Here's a guide we can use: http://wiki.kldp.org/wiki.php/AndroidPortingOnRealTarget Here's a compatible CPU kernel with source: http://code.google.com/p/android-group-korea/downloads/detail?name=linux-2.6.26-at1.android.zip&can=2&q=

I would do a patched update, but worse case scenario, we use testmode to transfer

downloading...

Just checked it. Same update vulnerability exists. These guys aren't even trying.

Condi, are you experienced in programming? If not, can you try if my WinCE GPS program works? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=474582 You might be able to use it to turn on GPS. You might have to install the ARM4 .NET Compact Framework CAB first. Let me know how far you get.

This relevant to my interests. I'll check it out tomorrow. The nice thing is we can launch executables without bricking (I think). I might have to dust off my WinCE dev tools, but this is genuinely exciting

We need to find that testmode. Are you sure it doesn't work? Have you done it before on a Z110/Z120? Is there any manual available?

I know you might be kicking yourself from hearing this, but it might have just been a bad SD card. I would have tried another SD card. As for the $350, if the device was bricked (and not just hanging on update), then they'd have to reprogram the chip. It's easier for them to just swap out the board than to get all the solder points and reflash it. The probability of flash failure is probably so low, they probably don't even reflash bad boards anyway. They probably discard them. Pioneer is a Japanese company and you can assume the parts would be repaired there or somewhere else in Asia

Bluetooth Dial Up Networking, means internet over bluetooth.

The SirfPrima already has linux support. the question is finding it. If I can find a kernel, the hardest part is done for us.

I'm not an electrical engineer, nor am I too well versed in Linux, but I'm pretty 90% of what you need to properly port the Z1x0BT to Android is in this 400page PDF http://www.4shared.com/get/ARDbpkFH/CSM-00364_RevC_SiRFprima_Devel.html

I'll reverse engineer it if they do. I wonder though, While I know that the Z110BT can be upgraded to 2.000, is it running the same EXACT files as the Z120BT is running? It could be possible to make package our own update by using testmode to dump the Z130BT file and flashing it ot the Z110BT/Z120BT

The z120BT to z130bt update method is cracked. I have a fake v2.004 that runs on Z120BT that will accept any upgrade in the SD. I need to test before it's public (of course)

Has Pioneer even confirmed they will release an upgrade? Crack is already done... I'm just waiting for the SDs *PS: Mod, don't lock. This is a placeholder and I'll rename and update this thread once things start releasing

The new test mode helps a lot if you're afraid of bricking. You can probably load any WinMo app you want on it by replacing the NAVI.EXE file. Unfortunately I haven't had much time to play with the OS. Some executable lie in the boot ROM and it's pretty delicate stuff. You would have to repackage it and if you mess up, there goes your device. I haven't found a way to trigger the real bootloader. Hacks can be done, but I don't think there's enough interest at the moment by other developers.

It can be technically be done, but it would have to be the Windows Mobile Version. The amount of work needed is ridiculous and TomTom WinMO isn't that much greater that what we have now.

Learned PPC ASM just for this. Technically, yes. PM with a gmail/AIM account and we can talk about it. You will need the upgrade SDs beforehand though

As long as the bootloader wasn't killed you might be able to get into test mode. Did you try the HOME LRLRL combination?

You know what, it's funny because I actually posted that information here: viewtopic.php?f=57&t=34478&start=135#p230618 Over 6 weeks ago, but I completely forgot about it. I disregarded it because I didn't understand what +B and ACC meant, but I didn't even try out the combination. It seems like we can do some hacking without bricking. =D Edit: Just saw you posted the key. Very nice! Where'd you get it? But how do you access the SD if the machine is bricked and won't open?

How did you get into service mode?

I wonder what you did. I'm assuming you used the cracked files on something other than the 1.001 update. (Maybe the 2.0 upgrade files?) As for opening it. Try holding down the eject button while you power it on. (or shortly after you power it on)

I haven't looked at the X910 / X920 so I don't know. I do know that there are similar Nav units based on the same core system. The only hardware identical versions are Z110BT, Z1120BT, F10BT and F20BT. The rest are similar, but not identical. I do know I can crack RenewalIFLib.dll for the F310 exactly how I did for the Z110. As for Android, it's probably not as hard as you think. The service manual goes into a ridiculous amount of detail. The CPU is a SIRFPrima. The CPU has already been made to work on android. http://justamp.blogspot.com/2009/11/gps ... tform.html If we can get o

If I can get into TestMode, i can downgrade at will. It means we can play around with the system and not have to worry about bricking it. I'm trying to figure out how to trigger it. Hmm, what's this? A function called GetPBrakeStatus in NPVehicleHandler.dll?

haha, i extracted TestMode already. I can repackage the PRG file now that I know how it works. I just feel like running haret on it and seeing if i can just port android for it. =P
