bonos Posted May 29, 2011 Report Share Posted May 29, 2011 I have a 910bt that is stuck on reboot. It will give me the boot screen and then turns off. I have tried to load the factory file with no luck. I have tried to load the 1.3 firmware mod and I can get to the load screen and it takes the info then tells me to reset the unit. When I do (using the reset button), it goes right back to showing me the boot screen and shutting down. I don't see any other options to repair this unit. I have not seen a copy of another OS image floating around and I have read and read and read until my eyes bled. I am amazed that there are over 40 pages of issues with this unit. It seems like a good unit, but it is plagued with a few issues. Anyway, as I have not been able to successfully reflash the unit or fix the problem, I am thinking of sending it in for repair. Has anyone tried the Pioneer factory repair for these units? The website shows it to be a $70 "diagnostic" fee that may be applied toward the repair. There are a few models that show a flat fee of $200 for whatever issues you have. I am afraid of getting gouged if I send it in. Is this a good thing? I have also seen a few postings on Ebay for repair services. They tend to be $150 for repair. If I send it in, how often does this issue come up with these units? Will I be sending it back in for repair in a few months? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Afoce707 Posted May 29, 2011 Report Share Posted May 29, 2011 I had the same "rest" message before. I was able to access WinCE after I put the "testmode" folder into the root of my SD card. See if doing that will help you program the device. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bonos Posted May 29, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2011 Cool. I will try it. Did you include the testmode.exe with any other files to try? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Afoce707 Posted June 3, 2011 Report Share Posted June 3, 2011 the testmode folder has testmode.exe in it Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bonos Posted June 26, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2011 I cannot get it to boot to testmode. All I get is the splash screen and after 5 seconds or so, nothing. I can boot into the wince upgrade screen by pressing the eject, menu, map and reset button. After it goes through the successful update and tells me to restart my system, I hit the reset button (this unit does not have a power button or any other reboot that I can find) and it takes me back to the stupid splash screen then goes black. Arggggggg. Am I screwing up the reset you system by hitting the reset button or am I not pressing the right sequence to get into the testmode function? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GStaver Posted August 8, 2011 Report Share Posted August 8, 2011 Did you ever get this resolved? My x910bt is now doing the same thing and I am not sure where to start. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
