No, it hasn't been removed. Use the link in http://avic411.com/index.php?/topic/32929-x930bt-password-recovery/page-4&do=findComment&comment=259263

Let me guess: The "hack file" was Condi's HackMode? So now the unit is screwed up.... welcome to the club. Good luck getting the unit back in working condition.

Impossible. The user folder is in the root directory. There has to be one or your unit will not work at all.

It's not a question of which is better, it's a question of support. The X930BT does not support NTFS so your media (SD card, USB stick, etc.) has to be FAT32.

Was it formatted using FAT32?

Being an expert is irrelevant. Hackmode modifies your system file upon installation and that may brick your device regardless how good you know what you're doing. Unfortunately, the admin of this site doesn't give a shit.

Don't know, but TESTMODE (not Hackmode) is harmless. It can't hurt to try.

Pull the handbrake. This is a protection to prevent you from using the keyboard while driving.

I've been trying to get the destructive HackMode v2.21 deleted from this site ever since I've been here. There's a reason for that.

Thank you for your confirmation. We were really wondering if the previous 754 confirmations were real, but now, we know.

Pull the parking brake. The unit ensures the car is stopped before allowing you to use the keyboard.

You should have read http://avic411.com/index.php?/topic/80807-moderators-please-remove-condis-hackmode-v221/first!

DO NOT download/install/use HackMode v2.2 as it might screw up your unit. Use TestMode v1.4 instead which doesn't mess with system files unless you force it to.

The purpose of this topic is not to talk about how to remove the hack, it's to completely remove the link to the hack or, at the very least, add a huge warning sign somewhere around it.

It is clear that this hack has caused many harm to units and the victims are the poor users who come here for help. I fail to understand what HackMode does that TestMode cannot do (other than screw up units files). I've ask many times to add a HUGE RED WARNING above the download link to Hack v2.21 but it has never been done. The amount of damaged units keep growing and growing. I believe this hack is simply dangerous and should not be available on a site dedicated to help people.

Use this thread: http://avic411.com/index.php?/topic/32929-x930bt-password-recovery/?p=240249 It should be the same procedure for the X850BT. The procedure is harmless IF YOU USE TESTMODE v1.4. Do NOT use HackMode v2.21.

If you do it USING TESTMODE V1.4, no harm can be done trying.

I also wonder how that password file works. I mean, one would expect that file to be read each time the password is required or, at least, each time the unit is booted, but apparently not. It's not the first time I see something like this. I also find it odd that you were able to use 25 characters to set the password but not able to enter it back because it's considered too long.

I believe it disables the nag screen which is the warning that always asks you to click "OK" before showing the GPS.

Sorry, I don't know how to help you. Many people have damaged their unit because of this hack and I've requested many times that the administrators put a huge red blinking "DANGER" notice next to it, but they don't seem to care. When I started to mess around the hacking my x930BT and saw what HackMode does, I didn't even try it because I knew how dangerous it was. Unfortunately, not everyone does.

Victim #3,428 of the horrible Hackmode 2.21. There's a thread on how to undo its damage. Search.

If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

If there a USB key connected? If so, try to remove it and reboot the unit. The unit will sometimes wait for the USB key to respond before continuing, so if it's defective, it will freeze.

What? Is your unit working properly? - Yes: Leave it alone - No: What's the issue?

Just the fact that you installed CondiHack is bad enough. You don't need to do much else to screw up your unit. Have you tried http://avic411.com/index.php?/topic/36854-undo-condis-hack-mode/ ?
