RonS Posted October 29, 2013 Report Share Posted October 29, 2013 Hi! In the download there is no FIRMWARE and Update folder to put on the SD card. I assume I create the FIRMWARE and Update folders on the SD card and unzip all the files in the 2012 upgrade zip to the Update folder, but what to I put in the FIRMWARE folder? Forgive my newbie question, I appreciate any help. Thanks!!! Pioneer X930BT You realize it is a compressed file? Once you uncompress it you should see the folders you need to copy to the SD - as described in post #1. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ceo Posted October 29, 2013 Report Share Posted October 29, 2013 looks like sheka's google docs link is dead.. it's time for somebody to post a torrent... http://avic411.com/index.php?/topic/37956-x920bt-update-from-40-to-51/ have you done this yet? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
anir22 Posted October 29, 2013 Report Share Posted October 29, 2013 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! Awesome work.... Thanks. Step by step with pics really helped.

tmedic Posted October 29, 2013 Report Share Posted October 29, 2013 You realize it is a compressed file? Once you uncompress it you should see the folders you need to copy to the SD - as described in post #1. Thank you for responding RonS! I did unzip all the files to a temporary folder. However, there are no folders in zip file but there is a file named CARDINFO.cif another named updater.plf but i don't see a file or folder named FIRMWARE? I downloaded the file twice just in case the first download was missing files. Any help is appreciated. Thanks! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Also are you using a MAC or a PC? What program are you using to unzip? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

RonS Posted October 29, 2013 Report Share Posted October 29, 2013 Sorry, I never use torrents. Don't trust em. Even using that link I ended up with some malware that a MalwareBytes scan detected and deleted. I'm also a little rusty with WINZIP. Does it have an option to extract subdirectories? I know one of the popular zip/unzip programs does. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

rip1212 Posted November 2, 2013 Report Share Posted November 2, 2013 Going to try this with my x920bt ::crossing fingers:: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nocturne1 Posted November 2, 2013 Report Share Posted November 2, 2013 Having a heck of a time getting this working in my BRZ with the factory X9310BT. Detects the card just fine, but I never get the upgrade message. Formatted on a PC (native OS as well as SDformatter), as well as tried on a Mac. Extracted with winrar, 7zip, and Thearchiver (mac). This 4GB card was previously used successfully to replace the startup screen, so it reads fine. All I get when inserting is the page that shows screensaver options/etc. What could I be missing?

rgarjr Posted November 2, 2013 Report Share Posted November 2, 2013 Try a different cardinfo.dat file. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
