Alexei Navalny Posted December 11, 2012 Report Share Posted December 11, 2012 I just re-formatted the SD and tried without luck. tried all forms of copy and unzip with no luck. Could not get it to pick up my usb drive...not sure what to do there. I've literally run out of options that I know what to do at this point. Any help is appreciated! Did you see this?

But maybe you can restart your upgrade. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rmw04c Posted December 11, 2012 Report Share Posted December 11, 2012 Checked that...was absolutely able to get it to boot into regular mode after deleting that file. Thanks for that! Now I at least know how to get it operational. Update: I tried the update again with a freshly formatted SD card, still no luck. Same failure at 99%. I started digging deeper, and checking into the old method, I opened my original RenewallFLib.dll in a hex editor and it hadn't been edited by autoreplace. I manually edited it and am going to shoot it over again now and retry the update to see if that maybe fixes it. Will get back to you shortly Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rmw04c Posted December 11, 2012 Report Share Posted December 11, 2012 Ok did that and was getting a "Program Start Error" on startup....wouldn't recognize SD cards again. Reloaded the original RenewallFLib.dll from PRG1 and it boots fine now. Getting a 2012 splash screen, but everything else is still on the old 3.0 firmware, and says version 3.0001. Not sure what else to do here...I've done all I know how. Is it possible that somehow both versions of the update I downloaded were corrupted somehow? I compared the MD5s and they are identical...but that's really the only thing I have left to check? Update: Was able to manually edit and successfully copy the modified RenewallFLib.dll over to the unit, and it accepted it, and still functions. Put the update SD card in and it recognized it. Update failed. I quit.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Now I just got to get my Pandora to work in bluetooth app mode. Just wont connect. I have a Iphone 4. If you are using BT instead of the wired connection, you need to set App Connection in AV System Settings to BT (wired is default). Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Paul1965 Posted December 15, 2012 Report Share Posted December 15, 2012 I've never had an issue with the great work posted here, and have been successful in upgrading my 110 to 120 then to 130. However tonight I'm at a loss. I believe I'm successful in upgrading to 140, but I'm stuck in a bootloop of sorts. I first did Condi's RenewallFLib loader, that went off without a hitch. Next I did the upgrade, and all went well getting to 100% and a reboot. The unit warned me it was doing the update. A few minutes later it restarted and I was presented with the language screen, but then the unit immediately rebooted back to my custom boot screen. After that, I saw the language screen again, then another reboot. I was able to select English as my language, then you guessed it, another reboot. I could then select the English voice, then another reboot. If I'm fast enough, I can get into the map, settings etc, but then it just reboots itself again. I reread the instructions, realized I hadn't replaced the VERINFO.DAT file, so did that and tried again. Unfortunately I'm still stuck in the bootloop. I searched for restart/reboot and didn't see that anyone else had posted this issue. Any ideas on what might have gone wrong? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

gambera Posted December 15, 2012 Report Share Posted December 15, 2012 I know this is off topic, but check this LINK. This thread was made for averyone's benefit, but someone took it too far. Again, this thread is awesome Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Paul1965 Posted December 15, 2012 Report Share Posted December 15, 2012 First thing I'd try is a cold boot - disconnecting the battery. Well a quick battery pull did nothing. Of course the units internal memory retained all the settings and it's still stuck in a bootloop. I did manage to get into the settings menu and reset to factory defaults, but that didn't help. I was also able to get to XM and can verify that works, and when it reboots I loose audio for just about a second before it comes back on. So it's not like it's fully shutting down. I'll try disconnecting the battery for a longer period, but I have a feeling that's not going to make any difference. Any other idea's? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Alexei Navalny Posted December 15, 2012 Report Share Posted December 15, 2012 Is it stable in TestMode? If so,it is an application/system software problem (which is likely since it happened after the upgrade). I'd try copying the \USR\PRGx and System directories off of the upgrade SD (or makbe extract the RAR again and us a different SD). The TestMode interface is kinda tricky - and you might want to back up \USER and \System first. Actually, pionara is the guy you want here. Haven't seen him posting in a while. You might PM him. He may know if there is a log file that shows what's failing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

He may know if there is a log file that shows what's failing. I didn't do anything with TestMode, was I supposed to? I thought following pionara's supereasy method bypassed using TestMode. I ran Condi's automatic RenewallFLib installer, then did the upgrade. Last night I tried reinstalling the upgrade twice and it's stable during that. I just reformated my card and reloaded the files to give it another go. UPDATE: Well much to my surprise (and relief), doing a longer battery pull fixed the issue. It's no longer stuck in bootloop and I was able to successfully update the BT firmware and everything seems to be working great now. Thanks to everyone that made the upgrade possible and RonS for helping me out Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Remha Posted December 17, 2012 Report Share Posted December 17, 2012 Will try this tonight. I hope COMCAST doesnt get upset with me downloading a 2012 map torrent... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Remha Posted December 17, 2012 Report Share Posted December 17, 2012 Lets see how this goes. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Remha Posted December 17, 2012 Report Share Posted December 17, 2012 Just did it on my X930BT without a single hiccup Downloaded the update via torrent and unzipped it's contents into a folder. Downloaded the updated VERINFO.DAT file and put it in the \Update directory of the unzipped files, replacing the previous file in the folder. Then placed the 3 files on the SD car; FIRMWARE folder, Update folder, and CARDINFO.cif Powered the unit up, popped in the SD card, and within about 5 seconds it picked it up and asked to start the update. That update process took about 20 minutes Once that's done the unit reboots and finishes updating After that, you're greeted with language setup options Once that's done, the update is complete! By the way, if you're using a custom start up splash screen (as I am), you will not see any 2012 Pioneer splash screen for confirmation, because you're custom one is still going to show, so don't freak out when that doesn't show up upon the unit rebooting, lol. After you go through the language setup, it's going to ask to do the update again. If you don't want to sit there for another 20 minutes, hit no... To update the bluetooth firmware, go into your settings menu Go into the bluetooth settings menu, and scroll to the bottom where you'll find the firmware update option Press it and it'll show you your current firmware and under that will be the option to update it Once that's pressed, you're prompted with one more confirmation of the update showing you version info of what you're currently running and what's going to be installed Hit yes and wait for it to update; takes about 3 or 4 minutes to complete Once that's done, you'll have the new app connection option for bluetooth or wired connection Pair to your Android phone (which you will have to do over again since you updated the bluetooth firmware which erased any stored phones) and you'll get a new list of options in you sources! And for final proof of the successful update Thanks for all the info and help everyone has given; this forum rocks! What do you mean by keep bluetooth on?? prior to updating...
