TJ do you have a US F700? What version Avic do you have, my thought is that maybe it might need a different copy of the SDMLC back up. The second file download in step 3 (3b) is only a back up for the 700UC model so I didnt tell everyone to download it, only if they need it. i didnt need it to fix my unit but put it up for other people just incase.
If you do have a 700UC I would say wait a few extra minutes to let the process finish writing in the DISCRW mode. it does take some time you will eventually see the ******* finish going still wait a minute after that and something on the sc
