    unfortunately no :(

    Something is wrong. ads255's scripts simply copy iGO directory from and to usb, nothing more. This scripts cannot brick device.

     

    Are you sure you clicked on Copy Script, and not on Copy Device in testmode menu? Copy Device mode will brick your device exactly as you talking about.

     

    In any case, do not worry, with any software failure you can restore the device without pulling out device from the car.

     

    Do you have full internal sd card backup image?

    What is the purpose of using AVIC to USB script?

    AVICtoUSB - this script copies contents of iGO folder from device to usb flash. This allows you to modify your particular configuration directly on usb using your desktop/laptop/tablet.

    USBtoAVIC - this script copies contents of iGO folder from usb to device. This allows you to upload your changes back to device.

    That's some whack shizzz, chmod 777 on some data files is excessive use of permissions. While it's not "important" in a closed system, as a matter of practice; Thou shall not create world writable files, yo.

    While preparing files according to bass_rock instructions -  should I include in update folder other folders that were not available originally?

    Also - I have about 60 licences in my license folder - will Igo recignize which one it needs and use only necessary files?

    You can use the following line for copyscript to copy all iGO files from your device to your USB1 stick:

    cp -R /extdata/iGO /mnt/udisk/iGO
    Then you can modify contents of iGO folder using your computer.

     

    And then you can use the following lines for copyscript to copy your modified folder from USB1 into device:

    #removes iGO dir (commented out)
#rm -f -r /extdata/iGO
#copies all available content into device
cp -R /mnt/udisk/iGO /extdata/iGO
#sets rights
chmod -R 777 /extdata/iGO/
    Don't try to copy all available licenses into device - iGO will close with memory error or something like this.

     

    P.S. Copyscript lines are from asd255 manual and scripts.

    Ok i'll try to upload. So i shouldn't worry about this "update failed" message?

    Yes, it is OK. I don't know how to do this using Mac, but if you have Linux-based computer or virtual machine you can attach content of img file as additional local disks to review content of backup image.

    Ok So I change txt files on my USB1 disk to PJCE1-1-G and CWW9607 and it will make backup on USB2 disk? Not SDCARD?

    "CWW9607-", not "CWW9607", you forgot minus sign :)

     

    Yes. USB2 is /mnt/udisk1 in dd command path, USB1 is /mnt/udisk and external sd card is /mnt/sdcard

    When I put it script shows following information - is it OK? Because it shows SDCARD as destination folder

    Seems like everything is ok, but please change both txt files with versions to correct values from first screenshot. First is "PJCE1-1-G", second is "CWW9607-", without quotes.

     

    Seems like you are using F960BT or F960DAB, can you provide full backup image?

    I have been working with my new SPH-DA120 aka AppRadio 4 on my own for a few days and made some progress some of which I've clearly reinvented the wheel because you guys have done so much already and I just yesterday found avic411.com and have been reading/learning what has already been accomplished.

    We already know about UART console and we already using this console as we have service manuals. But your work progress is really awesome. I want to see you in our internal developers group :)

    Now the firmware is 1.0.1 and while I'm trying to apply 1.11 the unit complains that there is more then 1 update file on the USB. Maybe I need to do incremental firmware updates?

    So USB contains right (valid) firmware with the only AVIC500NEX folder? In this case you can try flash firmware using testmode (Write Program Forcedly).

     

    Also you can update areas of your backup image file using parts of firmware files without headers. After this you can restore backup with updated firmware.

    Well can i remove the internal SD card and just drop the image on it?

     

    Yes, exactly after testmode_n "mode change" key execution to one-time unlock of password-locked internal sd card. Also you can insert any new sd-card with corresponding size with image on it, but this card will be also password-locked after first start.

     

    So you need execute following steps:

    1) insert usb stick into USB1 (not in USB2) with testmode N key which unlocks you card (mode change)

    2) turn on your device

    3) wait until "mode changed" (or something like this) text displayed

    4) turn off your device (and DON'T turn on again, card will be locked again)

    5) remove your card and insert into your computer

    6) write image into this card

    7) insert card into device again

    8) device will password lock this card and boot

    Im not having much luck getting it into test mode with any of the the keys that are in the share you provided. I just need a FAT32 drive and place one of the files ( TESTMODE_N.key) on the root - correct?

     

    Presence of testmode_n key is checked directly in easyrecovery mode from NOR flash so this should work even without internal sd card.

     

    Please provide exact contents of testmode_n keys you using (please zip and upload if possible)

    Awesome - but it seems I cant get back into test mode. Is there a way to force the unit into recover mode? I'm in the process of making a new Testmode usb drive as I feel the disk may have been corrupted.

     

    There is at least three testmodes available. Full testmode from working firmware (testmode_a key), recovery boot partition testmode (two copies on two partitions in internal sd card) and easyrecovery mode (located in distinct chip soldered on daughter CPU board - NOR flash).

     

    Last mode can be activated even without existing firmware on internal sd card using special testmode_n keys (three N-keys available in the wild, first one for mode change (sd card password unlock), second for copy device mode, I don't remember purpose of third key).

    I'm having a great deal of difficulty removing the map warning screen.  I keep getting read-only filesystem warnings.  What I've noticed is that the content of build.prop on /system actually becomes 0 in size immediately after the operation, even though it says it's read-only. 

     

    Is copy-script file line ending encoding is set to unix type? Try to use something like this to save all error messages:

     

    #!/system/bin/sh

out="/mnt/udisk/error_log.txt"

mount -o remount,rw /system &>>$out
cp -f /mnt/udisk/build.prop /system/build.prop &>>$out

sync

    I did not tested 6000NEX, but for European version of 6000NEX (AVIC-F960BT) no need to install xposed framework or other software to disable maps OK screen. All that you need is just changed build.prop file.

    Thanks Bass_Rock - Is there a repository with the stock images hosted somewhere here on the forum or do I need to purchase one from Pioneer?

     

    No need to open or dismount unit. Just write image for your unit into usb stick or sd card (please do not copy img file, use image writer software), and use test mode "copy device" key to enter recovery mode and write contents of your external usb/sd card into internal sd card.

     

    UPD: you can download avic 5000 nex image from Adam's website: https://builds.casual-dev.com/index.php?dir=random%2FAVIC%2F

    So what option(s) in the BSP do you set to convince the unit to boot from the external SD card (the slot on the front)?

     

    It seems that I misunderstood you. I just said that firmware can be modified (and reverted to original state) without removing the device and without accessing to internal sd card. You can do almost everything without dismounting device.

     

    I think you can also modify bootloader boot options or boot partition settings to load from external sd, but this is much more complicated thing and I can not help you with this modification.
