gertsy Posted March 21, 2010 Report Share Posted March 21, 2010 the F900BT is now restarting itself on the Pioneer splash screen after I did the menu+map+eject restart trick, and I can't get into test mode because it never passes that screen, can someone help? thanks Freaky. Yesterday the 20th of March mine started doing the same thing. boots up with splash screen normally for about 15secs, resets(I assume as screen flashes black) and the boots for 15secs again.. Is there a way to disable the splash screen on boot so I can see the problem? I'm about to go out and try a hard reset. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gertsy Posted March 21, 2010 Report Share Posted March 21, 2010 Okay this looks like my/our problem. Corrupt flash disk inside the unit... viewtopic.php?f=33&t=27155 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rx50cent Posted March 21, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2010 the splash screen that i couldn't get pass is not the usual screen with a splash picture, its a black screen with a big pink "Pioneer" logo in the middle. I need to somehow get pass it in order to get into test mode. any input? and whats a hard reset and how is it performed? can someone post a link to a tutorial? thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gertsy Posted March 23, 2010 Report Share Posted March 23, 2010 Yes, that's the same problem I had. There are some key lines in the instructions you must follow. The "tutorial" link is above and here:http://avic411.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=33&t=27155 Step 9 was key for me : "If not, download the latest update from Pioneer, put it on the SD card and restart" Until I did this I could not boot up testmode on an sdcard.

BulletHead Posted March 23, 2010 Report Share Posted March 23, 2010 mine has been doing this (rebooting from the splash screen) for the past 2 weeks, been busy so havent had time to troubleshoot. but this morning it booted normally and i had some tunes for the drive into work. after i turned the car off, i tried to start it back up and it kept happening again. hopefully the above instructions will help me, i will update.

ssyoda Posted March 23, 2010 Report Share Posted March 23, 2010 Hey this worked for me, give it a try... 1. Put the SD Card with the testmode folders in the root directory of the SD Card. 2. Turn the ignition on 3. In testmode go to Start->Programs->Windows Explorer 4. Click on "My Flash Disk" and you will see a bunch of folders and files 5. Click on Edit menu and select all (or at least the files you are planning to delete - gpspara0.bin, gpspara1.bin, gpspara2.bin and gpspara3.bin) 6. Go up one level to see the SD Card that you used to boot into test mode 7. Double click, Edit menu and paste 8. Go back to the "My Flash Disk" root directory and delete the above mentioned files 9. Turn off the ignition and take the SD Card out 10. Turn your ignition on and it should work just fine. Let me know if it helps. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BulletHead Posted March 24, 2010 Report Share Posted March 24, 2010 same problem here as the above posters. i cant get past the splash screen for it to boot into test mode off the sd card. how would one do that? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gertsy Posted March 25, 2010 Report Share Posted March 25, 2010 Dood. Go to this post: viewtopic.php?f=33&t=27155 I had the same problem where my unit would not boot off the SDCARD in testmode You need to copy the WINCEIMG.BIN and WINCEIMG.CKS files from an SD card to your unit. To do that you need to get your unit into service mode and do an SD Card Format. Print off and carefully follow the instructions in the post linked above. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
