Northpohl Posted July 6, 2012 Report Share Posted July 6, 2012 Just finished installing the OFFICIAL upgrade from Pioneer and had it running as factory. Was a smart boy and did a full backup of "My Flash Disk" and figured I was set to go. Tried to copy in a mod (does it really matter which one?) but ran into a memory full situation. Figured I could always restore my backup....BUT My F500BT is not reading the SD card to boot into test mode! Instead, it is trying to boot from the installation except that the installation is incomplete and will not load properly. How can I force the unit back to the SD card?? Last working setup - Firmware 3.0, Canada/US setup as per CNSD-250FM Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tail24 Posted July 6, 2012 Report Share Posted July 6, 2012 Hold reset button for about 10 secs... see what happens Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Northpohl Posted July 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 6, 2012 thank you, tail24, but the unit just ignored the reset button - momentary reboot and then proceeded to attempt to load while the reset button was being pressed. Also have already tried removing the battery, holding the power button down for about 25-30 seconds...all no go. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ovalball Posted July 22, 2012 Report Share Posted July 22, 2012 I solved this by running the firmware upgrade ,free from the pioneer website.I just reinstalled 3,1 and was then able to access the SD card again. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
