bass_rock Posted June 2, 2015 Report Share Posted June 2, 2015 For those curious or with development experience, I just created a shell script that opens up the PRG file, waits for modifications and then merges it back together with the correct CRC32 checks and sizes. It is located here: https://gist.github.com/bassrock/8053d22493785b92958f The only issue is it uses ext4fuse which is read-only, so just change that to whatever ext4 mounting program you have that allows write access and then code away. I updated the gist to instead use http://www.paragon-software.com/home/extfs-mac/ which has write support. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

bass_rock Posted June 3, 2015 Report Share Posted June 3, 2015 So tried a modified update on my deck and confirmed this process of repacking the update does work! So that means we now have an easy way to modify the update, repackage it and install it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

whitestormy Posted June 4, 2015 Report Share Posted June 4, 2015 this is really cool and i hope you are able to get it all working. what are the odds that if there was a mirrorlink update to the 4100 that that could be cooked into your custom work? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Chunkywolf Posted June 4, 2015 Report Share Posted June 4, 2015 I haven't figured out how to look too deep into the files yet since I've only had this radio a couple days now, but looking in the logs I see one thing that stands out. under the info.txt, it shows "System uCom:CWW9449- 08.51" for the 8000, and "System uCom:9449- 08.51" Under the 8100, I'm wondering if this has something to do with this operating differently, or it's just a difference in logging/ software versions. Any thoughts? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Syphher Posted June 4, 2015 Report Share Posted June 4, 2015 has anyone been able to get in contact with the guy on XDA? He stated he was able to fix the bluetooth but not sure the merit of that: Quote: Originally Posted by flash150xlt I designed something myself as for a firmware interface to work with the 4000NEX. If you don't mind though, I'd like to take a look at what you have to see if mine is exactly mirrored or a bit different. Two things I noticing here is when it was posted he said he couldn't get the bluetooth to work for it, which I have rerouted a fix for that. But as for the audio not working for android auto, I want to see what is different on what you have and what I have. Mine worked fine when trialled, but it could be because of my current system already having bluetooth in the truck. If you don't mind, can you upload it here or email it to me? jared.balsor at gmail dot com http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/help/pioneer-avh-4000nex-updated-to-support-t3063746#post61125695 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
maltnhops Posted June 23, 2015 Report Share Posted June 23, 2015 Wow, my mind is sorta spinning after reading thru the entire 19 pages of this post, but lots of great work by many to get their x000 up to x100's firmware. I just installed a 4100 and I'm enjoying all the features...but...the most annoying thing for me is the stupid Warning screen that Pioneer feels compelled to force me to press OK every time I turn on the HU. I've seen some videos on You Tube from last year on the 4000 and it looks like that HU didn't have this Warning screen following boot up, it goes straight to source screen. I called Pioneer tech support and got the standard line that their HUs have to have the warning. I said, that's funny., I first installed the AVH-5700 and didn't have this screen, in fact it booted twice as fast as my 4100, but i wanted the Android Auto, so I forked over an extra $200. I also relayed what I saw on the 4000. Tech couldn't care less, just regurgitated the same "required" drivel again. So, my simple question, has any who's worked on the file structure for v1.03 found a way to remove that Warning screen and confirmation for the 4100 or any of the x100 series HUs??

mdpauley Posted June 24, 2015 Report Share Posted June 24, 2015 https://gist.github.com/bassrock/8053d22493785b92958f @bass_rock, what do you think the next step is in the process? Also, for anyone who needs it, the gist link is missing bassrock from it (at least it was for me). https://gist.github.com/bassrock/8053d22493785b92958f Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bass_rock Posted June 25, 2015 Report Share Posted June 25, 2015 @bass_rock, what do you think the next step is in the process? I think the next phase is getting someone involved that is familiar with Android ROMs, since that is essentially what this is. Its basically a ROM we need to decompile and modify to suit our needs and sadly that ain't me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
minilog118 Posted June 25, 2015 Report Share Posted June 25, 2015 Think we can ask the XDA Site to create a forum for this since it is running android? I am sure if we all chipped in a few buck we could get one of the tops guys a unit. http://www.xda-developers.com/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites

bass_rock Posted June 26, 2015 Report Share Posted June 26, 2015 If it possible to upload repacked firmware to device, is anyone tried to replace system applications with own? Is it possible to replace IGO, for example, with Sygic and so on? May me it possible to upload simple file manager to device? List of apps in app folder of EU version of F960BT: Av.apk DataLinkInfoCollector.apk DrmProvider.apk FusedLocation.apk GuidanceInfoProvider.apk iGO_EU5.apk IvonaTTS.apk JupiterHome.apk LatinIME.apk Launcher.apk MediaInfoProvider.apk MediaProvider.apk MixTrax.apk MixtraxProvider.apk Mode.apk Notepadv3.apk SettingsDevelopment.apk SettingsProvider.apk synctool.apk SystemUI.apk SystemView.apk TestMode.apk UIService.apk It probably is, but like I said before we need a ROM expert, because for instance, if we add an app how can we access it. We would need a launcher of some kind. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
