following which thread? 4.01 or 2.0?
To format the mbr then put 2.0 back on. I now have the lowest version of the maps can I just put the update from the pioneer website on or will it mess things up?
-
Id go back to 2.0 where you were working properly after formatting MBR
So I followed the thread and everything is finally working again! Thanks a lot for your help I just need to update the maps and Im good to go. Thanks!

There have been discussions both ways as to if there is any effect to this. I always suggest using windows (I am a Mac person as well but use bootcamp to get windows for several things) to work on the Avic. Most people say there Mac does it just fine. And judging by how you got your unit unfrozen to 2.0 you should be okay.
If 4.01 doesn't work I'd use the FormatMBR and go back to 2.0.
Ive tried every logical thing for the past 4 hours and no matter what I do ill get the same message. When I put 2.0 on it will stay at the splash screen until you hit the menu button then it will bring you to the main menu without any messages but still no maps. When I put 3.0 on the system startup message doesn't go away and with both of these firmwares it shuts down every few minutes. With the 4.001 firmware I can't even access anything. Ive been doing some research on the formatMBR so I think I am being forced to give that a try tonight and leave 2.0 on it.

The message is on startup now rather then before only when I clicked on destination or maps.

I tried the update and Im getting this message now. It looks as if everything went fine just that there is something corrupt in just this part of the folder somehow.

follow the directions from hacks mods thread. you can skip the combining maps and data this is already done with most upto date maps... though some states PIO are missing as i didnt need them, if you do ill explain how to get them on there if need be. let me know how it goes?
Ill give it a try tomorrow. Im using a mac by the way do you think that makes any difference?
-
It appears you made a mistake or your files are curupting between the two. Make sure SD card is freshly formatted and added in correctly. How long does it take to run file install? Last section would be to do the FormatMBR process and go back to 2.0.
Tried putting 2.0 back on again and its just stuck at the splash screen. This thing is killing me.
-
Have you done it again? Try doing it again with different set of 3.0 files from within torrent
yeah Ive tried everything putting back 2.0 and both 3.0 files and still this message:
-
I put it into service mode and updated the wince files then rebooted it and booted into test mode. Then I deleted everything in the flash disk folder and transferred the files from the SD card over. When I click on the maps I get a language error message. This is what it looks like now.

I recently updated to 3.0 and now the message that says "system startup in progress please wait" will not go away and the system reboots every few minutes. I also can't access the phone and the maps anymore. I've tried putting new maps and even putting 2.0 back on but nothing has worked so I just left 3.0 on and enjoy the three minutes of music. Map version says 2.0. pleasse help!
-
Great now I'd hey the soft mod on there prOd through applying my 3.0 with daftias backup using directions from above that way don't get error message again
so I should update to 3.0? Are there any big changes?
-
works like a charm - f700 bt.

Okay.. thanks again for the help
i am always a fan of having things connected as the should... or at least grounded properly.
Hey so I did everything and it finally works again! Everything was very simple to do and Im no longer having the message come up. Thanks a lot!

go to this thread ; http://avic411.com/i...f-avic-f-files/ download the zip with a torrent file with in it. Use a torrent downloader (Azerus Vuze, Utorrent, Bittorrent, ect) to download the larger torrent to your computer (its 8.4 gb and should take much of the rest of the evening to download). Once these files have been downloaded
1. Format an SD card that is at least 2 gb big.
2. Unzip the file you have downloaded
3. Locate the File Testmode V 2.3. Open folder Copy the folder within entitled "testmode"
4. Paste that file into the root level of your SD card
5. Locate folder "My Flashdisk Back up" Open it then Open the folder 2.0 f700 Copy this folder
6. Paste that file/folder into Root level of your SD card along with "test mode"
7. Eject SD card and head to car
8. Put SD card in avic and turn it on
9. wait for avic to load into test mode (likes like windows 95 its called WindowsCE)
10. Click Start > Programs> Windows Explorer
11. Double Click SD card > Double Click f700 up top click edit>select all then Edit>Copy
12. Click Start > Programs > Windows Explorer (again) to open a second finder window
13. Double Click "My Flash Disk" that looks like a grey little icon
14. you will see a bunch of folders and icons it should look similar to when you opened F700 folder from SD card Click uptop Edit Paste
15. If you are given an error message about not enough room ignore or x it out ( i forget the exact step)
16. If asked if you want to replace file, select YES ALL
17. You will see that its gonna take upto 2 hrs but in reality it takes about 15 minutes to replace all files.
18. Once its finished turn off our car
19. eject SD card
20. Turn on Car hopefully at this point it loads perfectly like its a new avic... this may take a few momments and in initial menu it will say please wait system start up in process.
21. If its stuck in loop mode put SD card back in and re enter test mode go back to "My Flash Disk" delete all the files that say "gpspara(number).bin
If this doesnt work you need further help which is doable in most cases but its more indepth. This at least will give you a basic understanding of how to navigate inside WinCe
& do you think I should do this with the e brake and mute wire un connected?
-
thanks so much for the help. Ill give it a try tomorrow and will post the results back here when Im done. thanks again!
-
I will in a few hours ok
okay thanks!
-
Download torrent, get into test mode and upload a fresh backup.
Can you please let me know how to do that? And I'm not sure what firmware I have, I can't access my settings. Thanks.
-
Right now both the mute wire and the e brake wire are not connected to anything and I can access the main menu and play cd's for about three minutes until it cycles back into the loop where it restarts
-
Can always try to go into testmode. I'd load 3.0 files then grab Daftia's mod and load that over it. It can't hurt.
How would I do that? I don't have any experience with the software on these but I do have an sd card which I know I need.
-
I already tried that thats how I reset the ecu. Is there anything software related I can do, or anything else?
-
sorry for the double post.
-
Put the wire you moved back in its original spot.
I tried that I unhooked it (the e-brake wire) and restarted it and still get the same message every time. I tried holding the reset button for 5 seconds pulled all fuses both for the radio and the one on the radio and nothing has worked.
