i downloaded the 60MP east torrent w/ an Alcohol 120 image...but the file keep saying "invalid format"...

Does anyone know how to fix this?
The west disk image was OK

when you unrar the file make sure you remove the "set file security" check box in the advanced tab of winrar and check "clear attributes archive" Dont know if you need this but i did it anyways. Then I used poweriso to burn the image the mdf file not the mds. Used a verbatim DVD+R DL at highest speed and worked fine. Hope this helps

where did you find this torrent?

boost3dsupra you are the shiznit!!!! I have been trying to fix this issue for the longest... settings in winrar... ahh heck!! thanx much. I travel so much, and needed these maps!!!

does the n1 load the 60mp disk automatically or do i have to make any adjustments

law 3 from what I've read it automatically updates when you insert the dvd.

bcd1 i had a friend burn the torrent for me maybe it was not done correctly when i insert the disc it says reconizing disc the screen turns white then black then back to the normal screen

you arent burning a torrent. or you shouldnt be. burn the files directly to the root or an image with like nero. it should be pretty simple

do i have to convert the mdf file to iso because when i try to copy the mdf file it says error verifying the iso with power iso nero and imageburn im kinda in spindle heaven right now

welp, i would guess that you have to burn the file with a compatible burner. I dont recall what is compatible with md5. but I believe I posted the file your working with on the newsgroups and it probably is still there.

Ok, I think I already burn my first torrent. I used nero to burn a DL Dvd, My question is do I burn the MDF file or do I have to open it and burn all the files inside there.

Burn the .mdf file..i use dvd decrypter and i burn the .mdf and it work for me..

I took my unit in today to be modded to an N3. The guy who does the mod's told me to watch out for downloaded ISO's because there's one out that will fry the GPS capabilities of the unit when loaded. He also told me how to tell the difference.

He said that when you first load the software, if the screen says 1/1 instead of 1/2 when the loading first begins, you should cut off the unit immediately or it will corrupt the unit. However, I have been running N3 software on my N2 for quite some time and I also acquired it off of a .torrent. However, it worked perfectly fine.

I hosted the .torrent myself for some time, and also created the first .torrents of the v1.2 of the N2 software (50MP I believe). I still have the image file on my PC and if there is an issue with the .torrents everyone here is using, I will recreate a torrent and post it up so that a working copy can be utilized.


Note, as I do have both the East and West disks, I loaded my copy utilizing the East DVD and have not in fact burned and used the West DVD.

What is the .mds file ?

It's a file you need to burn it with Alcohol.

Thanks refil, I did burn the MDF file with DVD Decyfer to a DL DVD+R, burned exellent and updated my N1.

Great Forum here. I searched around and am not sure the answer to this question. I have the 60MP East torrent, burned etc, but Im not sure if I upgrade to this software if It disables my Parking Brake fix that I did so I can watch DVD's etc in motion.

I have an N1, N1 Brain etc, and just grounded the parking brake.

Thanks.

Titanbry77,
No installing the updated disk will not compromise the parking brake fix but it will compromise your ability to navigate and watch video while driving unless you mod the head unit.

Depending on which head unit you have will require a different method.

Feel free to search the forum for answers to your questions although it's easier just to ask a question in hopes someone will answer but that wouldn't be fair and would be redundant.

Good hunting,

Ok thanks thats what I thought. I have the N1 and I have already saved the directions for modding the unit using the solder method. I don't know if Ill go that route though for as much as I use the NAV, Id rather not mess with it at this time. I've done plenty of soldering, just dunno if I care to mess with it on this unit.

Is the solder mod doable with the circuit tracing pen? Ive read on it but wasnt sure the outcome.

yes the solder pen does work

I am currently downloading the version 60 torrent but I still dont understand exactly how to burn it. I have the dual layer disks but I dont know what program to use and exactly how to do it. do I just burn the whole file or what?

THIS HAS BEEN COVERED MANY TIMES.

just burn with nero, start smart, burn image, select image. done!

does anyone have a place to get this 60 version disk online the one I have been trying to download wont seem to finish it has been like 14 hours now and it is only at 3% and I dont think it is working anymore.
