I tried using your back up and its just boot looping. Wondering what version is that backup. Can anyone confirm if these files work?

Rebooting huh!? Try deleting the 4 GpsParaX.bin files from the root of myflashdeisk (safe, system re creates them)

I tried, but now my F700 doesn't want to boot up fully. It just stays on the Pioneer screen.

I am sorry to hear you have encountered problems.Are you sure you have a USA unit?Did you follow my instructions entirely?

I've managed to get the USA F700 Backup files so if anybody interested,just let me know....

Sorry for the late answer,i've been busy doing other things and only today i noticed your request.please download the files from the links below.On the root of a blank card(at least 2 gb),copy the "Testmode" file and the "F700" file,enter windows CE of your unit,open total commander and erase the whole content of My Flash Disk folder(but keep the folder),copy the content of the F700 folder from your sd card into My Flash Disk.After the process is done(about 10 minutes so you should keep your engine running)just switch your car off,take the sd card out and then switch the car back on.There you go.You should have a brand new F700.If for some reason you can't do it,let me know and i'll try to answer your questions.Anyway,let me know how it worked for you.

Hey guys,

This is an awesome forum BUT the main problem is that everybody speaks out about things they can do with their units but not everyone is a pro or has experience in hacking their units.I would really appreciate if there would be somebody kind enough to take some time and do a step-by-step guide about the whole process of having a USA model F700BT work in Europe with Europe maps and maybe have solutions about the radio tuner.Thank you

Does any1 have the f700 2.0 backup files just i cant seem to find a current link i have a file sharing website that im a memeber of if someone wants to use my username and password to upload the files any help or direction would b helpful

do you still need the f700 2.0(US version) backup files?'cause i got them....

Dear All,

 

This is my first post but it's going to be VERY IMPORTANT for those, like me, that had a bricked F900BT. My AVIC, after a couple of months working very well, stopped working: Starting up and a few seconds shutting down permanently...

 

I've spent hours reading here at AVIC411 and in other sites, getting more and more confused. I've got an backup image here ( without maps ) and my device worked and rebooted every 3 minutes...

 

The following procedure was partially got from an italian forum ( pioneernavgate.blogfree.net )but again, besides the italian language ( even with the aid of a online tranlator ), it was a little bit messy. The way i got my AVIC working was a lot more simple :

 

HERE IS WHAT YOU NEED:

 

- Testmode v 2.3 ( you can find it here at AVIC411 )

- a first 2Gb SD card ( formmated in FAT 32 )

- a second 2 Gb SD Card ( formmated in FAT 32 )

 

- Download this: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=3YBUDX0P and after downloading it rename it to "avic f900_700_500 ver_3.000300.rar"

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=CAK7C9HA and after downloading it rename it to "avic f900_700_500 ver_3.000301.rar"

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=RAGYEFBX and after downloading it rename it to "avic f900_700_500 ver_3.000302.rar"

( IMPORTANT: disregard what the downloaded files say: part1, 2...just do what i've written above )

- Extract the 3 to a single folder.

- This folder will say " My Flash Disk". Copy this folder to the first SD Card.

 

- Copy "testmode" folder into the first SD card as well.

 

- Insert SD Card to the F900BT SD Slot and then turn the car key on. The "testmode" will allow you to access Windows CE of your device. With this you can start exploring it.

- At Windows you should go to "Start" - > "Settings" - > "Control Panel" -> " Storage Settings ". Here you' ll see the disk structure of your device. You should Dismount "DSK1" and then click on "NEW" and name it "My Flash Disk". With this procedure, your previous " My Flash Disk" is clean ( I've done this because before that i couldn't erase all the files in it ).

 

- Copy all files inside first SD Card's folder "My Flash Disk" to your device "My Flash Disk". This will take a while ( 15 or more minutes ) so, probably, your car engine should be running.

 

- After all files are successfully copied, remove SD Card from your device SD slot and shut your car engine.

 

At this moment, your device still doesn't work.

 

- Download Pioneer's new firmware for this model here hXXp://213.244.172.244/files/support/avic_apl_upgrade/AVIC-F700900/09%20model/AVIC_F700BT_F900BT_CNSD100FM_VER_3020200.zip and extract it to your second SD Card.

 

- With the car key turned off, insert this second SD to your device SD Slot.

- Turn the key on ( this will take 10 or more minutes ), probably starting the engine and keep it running.

- The device will be updated automatically. DON'T TURN THE CAR KEY !!! Let the Update proceed itself to the end. This will look sometimes that is stalled but let it run. The F900BT will reboot itself and, after a minute or so, IT'S READY !!!!

THIS WORKED WITH MINE ! I DON'T TAKE ANY RESPONSABILITY FOR ANY DAMAGE THAT MIGHT OCCUR IN YOURS !

 

ENJOY!

Hey man,i have a f700 unit from the USA.I live in Europe and so i thought i might give it a try and just follow your instruction.It all went ok but at the firmware update,it says "incorrect software is on sd/usb".So what do you suggest i would do next!?Thanks

I've managed to get the USA F700 Backup files so if anybody interested,just let me know....

Hey guys,i own an f700bt that i bought in USA about a year ago.I live in Europe an thought i might get some use of a Europe map instead of the USA-Canada ones that came with the unit.I found AVIC411 on Google and i was trying to put together all the pieces of information that i found here on how to do the process.Of course,since none of you had a bright idea of opening a topic with a complete installation with all the steps that i would have to go through,i messed up thing in the unit.The info shown on this forum is only bits and pieces of a whole picture and so someone that has no idea on how to do it from top to bottom,has the option to guess certain steps.(which in my case,failed)So I am asking any of you.....DOES ANYBODY HAVE A COMPLETE INSTALLATION GUIDE FROM A TO Z WITH LINKS TO DOWNLOAD THE NECESSARY FILES!?

AND DOES ANYONE HAVE A COMPLETE BACKUP OF THE AVIC F700BT(US VERSION)FILES!?

Much appreciation to whoever will be capable of enriching this thread with info,the way i asked...and I'm sure most of the people on this forum are looking for this particular type of step-by-step information(even explaining technical words)

Thank you
