lancheon22s Posted October 28, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2010 nope, no one seems know to know the problem here. i finally was able to get into test mode and try to upgrade, and all i would get was SDMMC update failed. got no help here so i just put my factory radio back in to. good luck though Quote Link to post Share on other sites

What step did you get stuck on? nope, no one seems know to know the problem here. i finally was able to get into test mode and try to upgrade, and all i would get was SDMMC update failed. got no help here so i just put my factory radio back in to. good luck though If the SDMMC failed.. it can be a bunch of things... either the actual update file is corrupted.. the internal drive went bad, or it has bad blocks, bad main board.

If the SDMMC failed.. it can be a bunch of things... either the actual update file is corrupted.. the internal drive went bad, or it has bad blocks, bad main board. Im not stuck on any step. I originally had the reboot loop problem but it still played AM/FM & Sirius. After a few months, Sirius stopped working so I followed the steps in the link posted above. After copying the files over, in now displays splash screen, and goes black...no more music. Can still get into test mode. Any help would be appreciated, do not want to take apart my dash to get this out. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LOOSEWHEEL Posted October 28, 2010 Report Share Posted October 28, 2010 Try the FX3.1 update again. Reread the thread to see the problems people have had. I found most would post a problem, then a couple posts later they resolved it as they did not follow instructions in the 1st place. Download the file again and follow instructions VERY carefully.

Thanks for your reply/help, I wound up finding another post that mentioned unmounting and formating flashdisk and creating a new partition!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
