ravic Posted July 13, 2009 Report Share Posted July 13, 2009 Thanks, Just upgraded my F90BT and works like a charm. There is a noticable improvement navigating through the system. All the button presses (both hardware and onscreen) are responding much faster. Thanks M Moogle and others that posted the details on how to upgrade. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
xdanx Posted July 13, 2009 Report Share Posted July 13, 2009 Are there any improvements with the media player playback in firmware 3.0? The old firmware 2.0 doesn't allow fast forward/rewind or stretch to full screen while playing divx movies. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FourG Posted July 13, 2009 Report Share Posted July 13, 2009 Hmmm, just tried the X900's WinCE.bin with my 2.006 F90BT UC and got a permanent "System startup, please wait" message overlaid on the screen, then an eventual reset. Didn't work again until I re-flashed the 2.006 WinCE.bin back. Have any other UC F90BTs successfully applied this hack? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JLEA Posted July 13, 2009 Report Share Posted July 13, 2009 wanted to know if you guys got the extra MSN options after the update? if someone could let me know that would be great... thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Yettavr6 Posted July 14, 2009 Report Share Posted July 14, 2009 MSN Direct is part of iGo, so we won't have that until we either get a hacked ezrider, or a full copy of the APL2 folder including the licese and maps. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tyler Posted July 14, 2009 Report Share Posted July 14, 2009 FourG I have successfully applied this hack to my f90bt. I reformatted my sd card to fat32 and put both the winceimg.bin and winceimg.cks and it worked perfectly. Make sure your choosing to update wince from sd(not formatted). I have 2.0 software though not 2.006. Hope this helps Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SK360 Posted July 14, 2009 Report Share Posted July 14, 2009 Anyone have an issue with their POI's being all screwed up after the CE update/APL folder swap? When I hit POI's near GPS location then select a category it displays POI's in Washington State! It is fine if I search for one by name Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JLEA Posted July 14, 2009 Report Share Posted July 14, 2009 thanks for the info yetta. i think i am going to give this part of the update a try. i deleted the image.res in the new apl folder this should let me keep my modded colors ...right? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rodriguw Posted July 14, 2009 Report Share Posted July 14, 2009 FourG I have successfully applied this hack to my f90bt. I reformatted my sd card to fat32 and put both the winceimg.bin and winceimg.cks and it worked perfectly. Make sure your choosing to update wince from sd(not formatted). I have 2.0 software though not 2.006. Hope this helps I am having the exact same problem as "FourG". I have an F90bt and I followed the directions word by word and I still get that error message. However, I think the problem my reside on the 2.006 upgrade. I installed it last week. I am going to revert back to 2.0 and then try the 3.0 upgrade upagain. I will post my results after lunch.

Yettavr6 Posted July 14, 2009 Report Share Posted July 14, 2009 i had 2.006 installed and was able to update without a problem. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
adamdenterkin Posted July 14, 2009 Report Share Posted July 14, 2009 It is because you are not using the hacked ezrider I will try to simplify this 1) I updated the WinCE version via the instructions here viewtopic.php?f=33&t=25424&p=172862&hilit=service+menu#p172862 EXCEPT I choose the update WITHOUT formatting option.2) Using the new testmode 2.3, moved the old APL to APL.bak, and copied over the 3.0 version 3) Crossed fingers, reset 4) Booted! So far I haven't found any problems - some of the menu items are like in the 3.0 screenshot tour viewtopic.php?t=25031 , basically the non-NAV related items (bluetooth call screen, for example) 5) Its still runing iGo 8.0, since I didnt replace the APL 2 folder. Gonna try replacing that next. 1: Update WinCE version but not quite like http://avic411.com/forum/viewtopic.php? ... nu#p172862 tells you. You use the WinCE update from the 3.0 X Series update from the Pioneer website not the one from that thread. Update without format option and after you update you skip everything after on that thread because it tells you how to do a full recovery not just a update. on a side note to that thread to enter service mode you hold down Menu,Map,Eject then tap reset and it seems to go right into service mode (blue screen that says push reset) Instead of pushing reset you then put in the code from that thread. 2: Using the new testmode 2.3, moved the old APL to APL.bak, and copied over the 3.0 version 3: Inside the APL 2 folder replace the ezrider file with the hacked ezrider from this thread http://avic411.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=25289 otherwise you may get stuck at "system loading" and maps will not work. Everything else in the APL2 folder stays the same until the new iGo is hacked. I hope this helps. I am quite happy so far to have menus that respond when i push them now. I just bought my unit last week from Best Buy and was quite upset i would have to pay 60-100$+ just to update my brand new system. I would love to get new maps too but i am pretty happy with the results so far. Next i think i am going to see if i can get rid of those annoying Caution screens after this update.

SK360 Posted July 14, 2009 Report Share Posted July 14, 2009 Can somebody that did this update check their POI category lists when hitting Around current GPS position as I described above... I want to know if I am the only one Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rodriguw Posted July 14, 2009 Report Share Posted July 14, 2009 "adamdenterkin" thanks so much. Yes, it's working now. Step 3 was the missing link (ezrider file). One question, after the upgrade, shouldn't I be able to see the firmware upgrade 3.0 version on the "service information" tab. When I check it, I still see version 2.006000. Thanks, Quote Link to post Share on other sites
HAAK31 Posted July 14, 2009 Report Share Posted July 14, 2009 NO because you didn't update the version info(this is in the root of your flasdrive). better leave it this way, so you can still do an official update if you want.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Yettavr6 Posted July 14, 2009 Report Share Posted July 14, 2009 Can somebody that did this update check their POI category lists when hitting Around current GPS position as I described above... I want to know if I am the only one I checked mine with several POI types and it worked correctly every time. Saved Criteria POIs worked as well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
