Hi, I am having the similar problem with my avic f900bt., it is not bugging off the splash screen at all. Plays and ejects the cd and the volume up and down but that is all. I am situated in Australia and wondering if anyone would be able to help me out with what I need to do to get it working again??

Hey everyone

 

About two weeks ago I accidentally wiped my files from my unit and have since then reading through threads on this amazing site and in all honestly all credit goes to a member on this site by the name of TAIL24 who seriously helped with all my question.

 

As i was going through all the threads I found that a lot of the links were down or no longer working, or that most files are of the US / CAN models, so seeing as I managed to get my unit back and running after so many trials i decided to help the gents and ladies of European F900BT owners.

 

After deleting my files from my unit I tried various fixes , but I always ended up with the following

 

1. my unit would just hang on the pioneer splash screen and no matter what button i pushed nothing happened

 

2. or it would show the DESTINATION, CONTACTS and AV SOURCE buttons , but the "System is starting up , please wait" message would not disappear and if pressed the menu button it would only me to access the setting and nothing else, some time I could access the AV source and sometimes nothing happened if i pressed it, and when i pressed the map button or destination icon it would take me to the disclaimer screen then hang.

 

I am not sure but i think this will work for the F700BT but as I said I cannot guarantee that as it was just tested on my own F900BT. I would highly recommend that if you are not computer tech savvy then find someone who is and is wiling to help you.

 

all the procedure below I learn't from Tail24's threads and other members on this forum, I am just pulling it all together with the files to make it simpler for euro owners to find.

 

before we start I must stress that I am in no way liable for any damage to your machine, please use this guideline at your own risk

 

ok here we go, I cannot stress enough that you must follow these steps carefully, I would highly recommend that you use a NON MAC pc and have at least three 4gb SD cards and make sure you format them to FAT32, I tired using this on mac and had no luck , so I decided to do it on a windows laptop and seemed to work. i would also recommend that if you have a laptop with a inbuilt SD card reader, that you download or copy all the necessary files to it and take with you into the car as it will make life so much simpler than going into and out of the house.

 

 

1. On your desktop or where ever you prefer, Create a new folder and call it AVIC Files or whatever you want to call it, this will hold all files you download

in this folder please create the following sub folders

 

pioneer firmware V2.009

 

Pioneer Update firmware V3.021

 

EURO SDMLC

 

Avic Euro backup

 

Testmode

 

--------------------------------------------------------

PIONEER FILES

 

2. please go to the pioneer website http://www.pioneer.eu/uk/support/software/AVIC-F900BT/index.html and download the following:

 

First download the firmware titled AVIC_F700BT_F900BT_VER_2009000.zip Version 2.00900, you will need this to bring your wince to the basic firmware

 

Second download the Update firmware titled AVIC_F700BT_F900BT_CNSD100FM_VER_3021000.zip

version 3.021000, you will need this at the very last step

 

I would recommend winrar http://www.rarlab.com/download.htm ( you can download which ever suits your windows version ) to unrar the files once downloaded

 

ok once both files are downloaded use winrar to unrar them and place each one in their separate prospective folders that you created in step one ie Version 2.009 goes to the folder called pioneer firmware V2.009 and the update 3.021 goes to Pioneer Update firmware V3.021, you must keep these separate to avoid confusion as both pioneer couldent be bothered to rename the firmware folders differently.

 

-------------------------------------------------------

EURO SDLMC FILES

 

3. Download the SDMLC File from here http://webdesignsfor.me/avic/files/SDMLC_NN746_EW_sn00aa0f.rar

again once downloaded unrar and put the folder into the EURO SDMLC you created earlier

 

--------------------------------------------------------

 

EURO AVIC BACKUP FILES

 

Thanks to an Italian site i found a link to on this forum I managed to find a backup to the euro units

 

4. Download the My Flash Back up from here http://webdesignsfor...lash%20Disk.rar

 

again once downloaded unrar and put the file in to you Avic Euro backup folder you created earlier

 

---------------------------------------------------------

TESTMODE

 

This is a important file as this will allow you to access your WINCE

 

5. Download the testmode file from here http://webdesignsfor...es/testmode.rar

 

once again when unrared please put into testmode folder you created earlier

 

--------------------------------------------------------

SD CARDS

 

Once all the steps above are done you will need at least 3 SD cards of at least 4gb each

 

 

6.Now you will need go to the folder called pioneer firmware V2.009 , open up the folder called LPUE080 and look for a folder called PLT and inside that folder you will see 2 files called WINCEIMG.BIN & WINCEIMG.CKS highlight and copy these two files ( COPY ONLY DO NOT CUT) , now get the first of the SD card that has been formatted to FAT32 and paste those two files to the root of that SD card, after that please copy the whole folder called LPUE080 that you copied those WINCEIMG from and also put it into the root folder of the SD CARD.

 

That the first card finished with, if you write on mark it pioneer 2.009 & wince so you know whats on it

 

7. 2nd SD card you will need to go to the folder called EURO SDMLC and copy the file inside that to the 2nd SD card, also long with that please copy the testmode folder as well and again if you can mark on it Euro SDLMC, testmode

 

8. Now you will need go to the folder called Avic Euro backup open it and copy ( copy not cut) the file inside called My Flash Disk and then paste into the 2nd sd card also with thet you need to copy the testmode folder to that same sd , so you end up with two files, My Flash Disk & Testmode

 

we will leave the folder called pioneer update firmware v3.021 till later.

 

-----------------------------------------------------------

 

9. now take those three SD cards to your car and hopefully you have marked whats on each of them

ok take the first sd that has the winceimg and v2.009 firmware on it and while your car is off put it into the SD slot of the F900BT , now its a bit tricky , but you need to hold Menu, Map, Eject & reset button all together while your start ur car so that the machine tune on , u just had a pen in my mouth , held teh button with my left hand , turned on ignition and quicly used my right hand with the pen to press the rest, after 2 or 3 seconds ONLY LET GO of the rest button and wait, you will hear a pop from your speakers and then you unit will go into a blue screen which will say to press reset again , DO NOT DO THAT , just enter the service code using your volume knob , the code is

UP,UP, DOWN, MENU, LEFT, RIGHT , after that you will see menu choices , make sure your SD is in teh slot and choose the first option to upgrade wince, this will take you to the second menu, from that choose option one again called UPGRADE USING SD/USB ( FORMATED) , please make sure its the Formated option .

 

this will start reading from your sd card , leave it alone untill it says [image updated ok , please reset your machine,] now leave the sd card in the slot and switch off your car, wait abiut 5 seconds then turn it on again ( please make sure your car engine is on you dont want any power distrubtions), and wait ,after about 20 seconds or so it should show you a white screen and start to copying the firmware leave it alone but keep an eye on it, once its finished it will restart, make sure you take out the sd before the unit comes on again . wait for the unit to come one then turn off your car

 

10. now put your 2nd SD card with the SDLMC and testmode into the slot, TURN YOUR CAR ON with engine running, Make sure its running for the whole of the next steps, this will take you to the WINCE which will look like the old windows xp , now from here on you must be careful.

 

11. look for the icon called DiskRW and double click on it, after ut opens please do the following:

  • you will see a little dots near the top of the program window change the little dot in this program to Write (instead of read)
  • click on the first drop down menu and find where it says SDMLC and make sure that shows in the window
  • Click on the button that has the three dots (...) and brows to your SD Card and then find the file
SDLMC_NN746_EW_sn00aa0f.IMG and double click on it, if double clicking is not working, then you can highlight the file again and
  • click on "ok" in top right corner of screen, this will take you back the diskrw program then click on "write" which is in the middle on the right of that program window.
  • You should see the blank text box start to run all sorts of text info then it will show stars ie( ********* ) for a while until it is complete, once it done it should say something like complete or successful, Once the IMG has been written successfully close that program window which will take you back to the desktop.
12. from here remove the SD card from the slot and replace it the sd card that contains the Avic euro backup called My Flash Disk, after its inserted double click Start/Programs/Explorer or look for which icon can take you to the explorer window, once there look for an icon called MY STORAGE, double click that and you will see your folder called My Flash Disk , double click on that to open it, the click on edit , Select all, and that should highlight all the files, then click again on edit and then copy, from here press the back button navigation ( which is on the top same row and file, edit etc etc it will look like a yellow arrow going backwards) until you are back and can see MY STORAGE icon again, if you look to the left of that you will see another icon called My Flash Disk , double click on that to open it, once open click on edit and paste, it will start to copy don't worry if it says not enough space just yes to continue, and then it will say do you want to copy over existing files make sure you SAY YES. now leave alone as this will take about 20 mins or so.

 

while this is happening and you were able to take your laptop with you , choose one of the sd cards already used and format it to FAT 32 again, if not just wait till the step above finishes.

 

if you do have your laptop with all the folders that were created please go to the folder called Pioneer Update firmware V3.021 and copy what in that folder to the freshly formatted SD card.

 

if you don't have a laptop and need to access your pc the wait till the above steps finish , turn your engine off , return to your pc , format one of the SD cards to FAT 32 and place the folder called LPUE080 into that sd card and take it back to the car

 

13. once you have that 3.021 update firmware folder ( LPUE080 ) on your SD card place it into the SD slot on the unit and turn the car on with engine, wait about 20 seconds and hopefully if all went well it will take you the similar white screen as when it did the first firmware install and it will start to update your unit, leave it alone till it finishes but again keep an eye on it , once it finished it will restart the unit, please please make sure you remove the SD card before unit starts , give it a full 2 or 3 minutes to initialise , and if everything went well your unit should start normally.

 

regarding updating the Maps that's another story altogether and there are many threads on here that tell you how, but most importantly do not delete or mess your wince files unless you have a back up, if you want a back up of your files , all you do is put testmode folder on to a SD card, put into sd slot on unit , turn on car with engine running, once in WINDOWS , just browse to MY Flash DIsk , click edit , click select all, click edit ( again) , the copy . then browse back till you see MY STORAGE, double click it to open it , once its open click edit and then paste , should take 20 mins or so to copy to your SD card, once done remove SD card and turn off car and that's it

 

 

I hope this helps many of my fellow Europeans who are struggling with the F900BT and as I said I think this might fix the F700BT but I am not about that or other F series units.

 

again a special thanks to TAIL24 for the help and support and of course too every one on AVIC411 which without them we would all be owners of expensive paperweights.

 

i can not download anything from this link pls help me i need the files at eduardmicu@yahoo.com

Hi

 

I think I am almost there with my AVIC F900BT .... First of thank you "guizmo" for all the file support, that is really awsome.

 

I have done the following:

1 - Service mode -> format with 2.009 - WINCEIMG

2 - Installed Ver 2.009

3 - Enter WINCE

4 - Update with SDMLC_NN746_EW_sn00aa0f

5 - Copy / paste the files from "My Flash Disk"

 

And here is where it goes bad... When trying to Update / Install "AVIC_F710BT_F910BT_VER_3021000" it checks the files (in the white screen) then stops and display turns RED saying "My Flash\Disk\APL\AV.exe" is wrong, error code 6 message "other operation failure"

 

Does the same thing with "AVIC_F700BT_F900BT_VER_3021000"

 

Hope some one can help.

Now working 

 

First: WINCEIMG + WINCEIMG.CKS from version 3.021 and do a "Upgrade from SD/USB (formated)" in service mode

Second: Copy / paste the files from "My Flash Disk"

 

Then it worked. 

 

Thank you Guizmo 100 times !!

 

Hi lumax,

 

I've got the same error as you. So I copied Pioneer Update firmware V3.021 files with it's WINCE files to SD card, and tried "Upgrade from SD/USB (formated)" in service mode. So, it says - "Image Read 100%, then Write Image 100% - Restart your machine". When I turn it off and on again - it does not start white screen with update procedure.

 

Could you please describe what you've done exactly to fix this problem? Or maybe someone else know?

 

Thank You!
