I've had good luck with 4 GB SDs formatted FAT32 with default cluster size. I think most updates from Pioneer/HERE are either 4 or 8 GB. Although the applications can read bigger capacities, I think the boot and loader software is only smart enough to handle a limited subset of disks. Glad you persisted and made it work.

Default cluster size was 4096 bytes.

After many tries, i finally succeeded with the update on my f930bt. Used a 2 gb sd for the shortfuse hack and after that the 8gb sd witch is always in my unit. I got at first the error wrong sd. After new format and freshly extracted update files the unit finally accepted the sd. The 8 gb sd was formatted as fat32/32 clusters. other fat32 my unit didn't accept. I hope its helpfull for someone. Many thanks at RonS and Godzilla!

Thanks, confirmed update on a f930bt. Just download the files, use the password, put everyrhing on your sd (you get 3 maps) and put the sd in the car, start update. Worked like a charm! Can't see huge differents.  Many thanx to the poster and the people who cracked it!

.

Can someone send me the password also?

Yes, yes, also searching for the new map update...

Hi,

On the pioneer site the new map updates are available. Is there anyone who has the new maps and is willing to share them here, so the whizzkids can do their work for us all?

^{Hi all,}

^{Update works like a charm on a f930bt.}

^{Follow the steps in the post of Travolta and  u will have the 2013 maps.}

^{Thanks for all the good work!!!}

Thank you,

Very good instructions

You got it. Will add to the first post later.

woohoo, great!

thanx!

Hi Guys,

Thank you very much for the files.

If i unpack the 5 files i get one update 3,37 gb, right?

in that update is a verinfo.dat. 

Do i need to replace the verinfo.dat with the one from pionara?

than i put all the files on a 4 gb sd card and put it in the unit and the install starts automatically?

Maybe its a good idea, to make a guide for dummies? just like last year?

Again, thank you very much.

Hi Guys,

I've posted earlier in this thread about problems during the update.

It's certain its not the update that crashed my system.

I've brought my system to a repair center and there they've installed a new print in it.

it was fried!

Now with the new print everyrhing went smooth.

So, now i can say, thanx for the update, you can use it savely.

Greetz,

Hi Pionara,

Thanks for your response.

Are there more people who had these problems with the update (looking here, it seems to be that i am a loner)?

Do you have any suggestions?

Can i manually replace all files?

I have read about somebody who had the same problems after using hackmode.

US applications and functions are not exactly the same as EU ones. I would favorise EU sources.

thx,

i knew that

u know a place where i can find them?

Hi driverke,

Last things: erase the contents of Download folder or erase it and recreate one empty.

Perhaps you have a PRG.FLG file on the root of USER, it means that you'll load applications from the PRG1 updated folder and no more from the PRG0. If your PRG1 is damaged perhaps you can load the system from PRG0 original applications just by backup and remove the PRG.FLG. I never tried. There's few threads on PRG.FLG.

Your MicroSD model is ok, you suceed to boot on it, and you didn't get a "wrong card" error message. You can also checkdisk it from pc.

Hi joss,

Thank you so very much for your answers.

Meanwhil i've got grip of the original files 3.001, the only thing is that they are from a x930bt (USA).

Can i use them?

But, first of all i will try your tips!

Greetz,

Driverke

Don't know if this F10BT method can apply to F930BT, files can be different.

You get very strange signs with dir behind, you mean that directories names are non-standard characters ? Perhaps caused by a transfer interruption, reading/writing errors or damaged sectors in NAND memory.

Care, i'm not a specialist.

Before upgrade my USER\SYSTEM\Download\ folder was empty, i would try to copy and erase these strange elements, then try to restart navi or upgrade.If it's a NAND failure perhaps there is the relevant test tool in the Super testmode but these sensitive functions are not recommended.

Thanks joss,

I will try to copy and then delete the download folder.

And restart. i have the kingston 8 gb sdhc class 4 card as in post above.

Pionara, maybe u have an idea?

same here, but happened after using update, please help.

Hi driverke,

I own a F9310BT (F930BT EU designed for Volkswagen). I've done the update with success.

On a FAT32 microSD >= 4Gb :

FIRMWARE folder 1,98 Mo (2 077 336 octets), 1 subfolder and 3 files. (for BlueTooth)

UPDATE folder 3,37 Go (3 621 773 202 octets), 18 subfolders and 216 files.

CARDINFO.cif file 300 octets (300 octets).

Make sure that in the UPDATE folder the " VERINFO.DAT " file (40 o) is pionara's one.

Hi Joss,

Thanks for your answer.

I have done all that.

I have checked the files and everything should be there.

I have used the verinfo.dat from pionara.

I have fiddled around with testmode and can get in the directories.

In my post above, i have insterted a link to a topic, also here on avic411.

There they talk about how to delete some software and your unit would return into normal mode.

But that's for a F10BT.

So i am wondering if its possible to do the same with a f930bt.

In the past i have had problems with a powerdip after glowing (diesel).

So it might be possible that my memory is damaged (which i don't hope).

Hi guys,

First of all, thanks for the software.

I have an avic f930bt eu, and, at about 49% i get the message, update failed do you want to retry?

Of course i tried that, but with no succes.

now i have the testmode software because i want to try to delete the update part, i have read about this at this thread http://avic411.com/i...sd/#entry258286

I can get to the directories but if i am in USER\SYSTEM\RENEWAL there is no Progress.dat to delete.

When i am in USER\SYSTEM\Download\ there is no StartKnd.log to delete

I only get very strange signs with dir behind it and they seem to be empty.

is it possible for the f930? do you guys know where or how to do it?

The F930BT doesn't restart the update automatically, it starts up with my normal starting screen but after that the screen goes black, although menu is there but not functioning.

I have formatted my 8 gb sdhc en re-installed the software, i have even tried to unpack the download with another unzip programm.

I am now downloading for the 2nd time the software.

I dont have any backup files and yes i know, STUPID!

I even have tried to put the files on a new sd card (4 gb sdhc) but its the same effect, it starts, normal starting screen, then i get the question do you want to update, i select yes, screen goes black, doesn't reboot, no reaction.

thank you for your answers.

Hi,

Just reading your question.

And I have Aha working on my f930bt but not via screen of the unit but via screen of the phone.

I dont have the new update.

I am anxious to see if it will work after the update.

I think its a bit silly they only make the unit compatible with iphone's.

Greetz.
