brettgartenberg Posted August 11, 2009 Report Share Posted August 11, 2009 Please HELP. I followed the instructions as best I could, I copied the "my flash disk" (unzipped )from the torrent to the my flash drive on the f900. then i copied the "data" file to the "my flash drive/apl2/igo" folder. I pressed the RESET and EJECT for 5 seconds... now my f900 only will boot to windows. and if i take out the sd card with testmode on it it will just shut off while booting and show nothing at all. What have I done wrong? my f900 has been reduced to an old useless PC. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR HELPING!!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Â viewtopic.php?f=34&t=25817 Â Try this guide its much easier to understand... print it out and follow along in your car... good luck. Â Be sure you are coping the right files to the right place... Â http://www.imagebam.com/image/5fa19542574343 Â this is what you should see on your "\My Flash Disk" after copying... be sure there is no testmode folder on the AVIC's Flash Disk otherwise it will get confused... Â So go through this process again and DELETE everything in the \My Flash Disk drive on the avic and be sure to copy ONLY the stuff from the torrent and not anything else... dont do any mods for now... leave the data.zip out for now. you can always do the mods later. for now just get 3.0 working.

eXtReMeP4in Posted August 12, 2009 Report Share Posted August 12, 2009 Hi guys. I tried searching but got no hits; however is it possible that I update the Wince through my sd card and upload the new files through a 2 gig usb drive? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tharnet Posted August 16, 2009 Report Share Posted August 16, 2009 Ok so I'm officially a newbie at this. I recently bought a BT7100 and was told that this hack was the way to go to bypass the video functionality. I have followed the steps as stated in the install guide and have hit a wall. I get to step 9 and when looking for the flash dump folder it seems to be an empty folder. When I copy it on the the Avic it takes almost no time as the folder is empty. Also when looking for the "My flash disk\APL2\iGo" on the Avic i can't find it. Any help someone can give would be great. Thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
greenleaves Posted August 17, 2009 Report Share Posted August 17, 2009 Just want to be sure. Will this 3.0 update work for F500BT? Any success so far? Thanks... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TWoods450 Posted August 17, 2009 Report Share Posted August 17, 2009 this was very easy, time consuming but easy, and well worth it so far. Does anyone else have trouble hitting the edit menu in testmode though? or is it just me? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SimplyZero Posted August 17, 2009 Report Share Posted August 17, 2009 Okay, so I've been reading through some of these "unofficial" install guides, and I still can't really get a firm answer. If you download these files onto SD cards and upgrade to 3.0 on the F90BT, do you still have to go to Pioneer's password generator site in order to authenticate or whatever? I assume that's the process they make you go through to ensure that you've paid for the software, which is what I can't figure out. In the "unofficial" installs, is this process not required?

eXtReMeP4in Posted August 17, 2009 Report Share Posted August 17, 2009 So nobody knows if this update can be done through a 2 gig USB drive instead of a sd card? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
atteiaissas Posted August 17, 2009 Report Share Posted August 17, 2009 So nobody knows if this update can be done through a 2 gig USB drive instead of a sd card?  I believe it can´t be done using a USB. Must be SD card Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Â have you read this thread at all? This has been covered a dozen times... right click the torrent and save as... then open with your bittorrent client..... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
