FreshInstall Posted July 10, 2007 Report Share Posted July 10, 2007 Thanks rage2 for your help hopefully this bypass can finally be cracked, keep us informed and let us know how the install in your car goes. Thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rage2 Posted July 10, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2007 I'm completely relying on others to do testing, the bezel is custom and takes 2-3 weeks before I'll see it. Hopefully everyone will be bypassed by the time I get the thing installed! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hyperite Posted July 10, 2007 Report Share Posted July 10, 2007 Well, there are SIGNIFICANT file structure differences between the June Z2 and older software. I'm about to fire it up for the first time... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MPS Posted July 10, 2007 Report Share Posted July 10, 2007 can you make that file update from CD or do we need to unlock the drive ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rage2 Posted July 10, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2007 It's a full image, intended to be imaged on a new drive, replacing your old drive. If you want the CD update, you'll have to wait for Pioneer to officially release an update. Â Depending on the differences (I personally dont have a pre-june unit so I can't test) it may be possible to unlock your Z2, copy a few files on there to update the unit.

Hyperite Posted July 10, 2007 Report Share Posted July 10, 2007 Well, I'll confirm that the flasher bypass still doesn't work, and inserting the zero-byte file made no difference. I'll pull it out to do the 2-wire this week, since i haven't had the need to do that yet. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

In the Hardware Info screen, it says 02.000, I'm not sure what the old one said. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

wkonkel Posted July 11, 2007 Report Share Posted July 11, 2007 can somebody make a bit torrent out of it and upload the torrent to piratebay (or any other of the thousands of free torrent hosting sites out there)? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FreshInstall Posted July 11, 2007 Report Share Posted July 11, 2007 Lets cross our fingers the the 2 wire bypass will work. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jbhorne Posted July 11, 2007 Report Share Posted July 11, 2007 If the bypass were to work. Is is *possible* to just get the image from someone else and overwrite the files on my Z1 with them? Or does Pioneer use some sort of s/n matching scheme and require an update DVD? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rage2 Posted July 11, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2007 Once it's confirmed that replacing the hard drive with this image enables the bypass, then it'll get uploaded to a torrent somewhere. There's no point in doing it till it's verified. Â A few ppl have the image already, and are testing it, so just be a little bit more patient. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hyperite Posted July 11, 2007 Report Share Posted July 11, 2007 Well, basically, if it's not the flasher or 2-wire, we're in the same place we were with the old Z2. I keep seeing people posting "the june z2 bypass works! some guy promised me!" but not saying WHAT the bypass is.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FreshInstall Posted July 11, 2007 Report Share Posted July 11, 2007 Damn, that sucks. So does that mean that the June 2007 models also don't bypass Also, I read in another forum a person claiming that if the parking brake wire was flashed at boot up it would bypass. I don't have a Z2 to try it on at the moment, and I could not find on another forum whether it was tried or not. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
