Hey,

Great post! Before I found this post I pretty much did this entire process without backing up the IGO file mentioned in step 1. Now my unit starts up and gets stuck on the splash screen BUT after a few seconds I can click the menu button and it will go to the menu (however, there is absolultely no sound or feedback and I can't access any other menu's other than the system settings menu). If I click the map button, the navi warning pops up and the system freezes...I've tried reinstalling over and over and the update runs fine but I don't have that original IGO file.

Do you have any ideas or suggestions how to get over this little hump?...I don't want to ship my unit back to pioneer

Thanks!

I am compressing mine and will try to post it. However its for the F700BT so i dont know if it will change anything. I had the same problem as you unitll i did Step 1. STep one is necessary!

Even after compressing the file, its 1.54gb. Dont know where or host to host it share. ANY IDEAS??

Hey,

I found a great site at http://www.pipebytes.com

It doesn't restrict uploads or downloads in terms of size but I think it may restrict the speeds. I can get a "speedpass" to increase the upload/download speed though. Let me know if you'd like to go that route...

Thanks a bunch btw. I'm going nuts with no music and my radio restarting every few seconds

Hey,

I haven't heard back from nbdew02 yet but it's a huge file and hosting it is a pain. Depending on the site that he uploads it, there may be a download limit. If there is a d/l limit, I'll rehost the file so you can grab it too. Hopefully this will fix both our problems.

I let it run on my laptop all night, yet when i woke up a message saying time to download had expired. I will try again today. Its kinda frustrating me.

oh! lol, once you select the file and click send file it gives you a code or URL that u can post or PM me with. If u send me that I can D/L the file as you upload it which will probably take some time anyway. That's why the d/l time expired. Sorry for not pointing that out earlier

I only tried the URL method. Another user wants me to delete everything but the content folder????

You can send me the URL once you click send file. Or just just select code and send me the code...your choice. Other than that, I'm not really tech savvy. Other than the obvious decrease in file size, I don't know what benefit or drawbacks deleting the other stuff would have. I really appreciate you hanging in there and helping out with this though!

ANy other free websites or users that are willing to pay for the service and share the info for me to host it? The above website will not load. Have tried it 3 times each way. :/

Remember the file is 1.56GB compressed, its not like a data file which is 5.6mb

Okay well another froum member n681ma offered to share his info so i could upload it. If you would like a copy please PM me or n681ma your email address and we will be able to forward it to you.

to nbdew002. you can delete the content folder which includes all the map data. then you can send us the other files in the IGO folder. this way it will be much smaller. the content subfolder conatins the maps etc, but these should be nesessary for the unit to work(obviously without maps) this way we probably might get the unit to work and then find another way to get the maps. i have the maps from another unit which probably i can try to share

just do double check you delete all files in the flashdisk. Even the windows foler?

unfortunately i deleted all. the thing is i don't understand why it doesn't work after the update is indtalled. i understand the there are no maps but why cant the radio or all the other functions work??

UPDATE:

Turns out after i tried uploading the file. (keep in mind: each time took 6+ hours) it kept saying it uploaded but it would never show up. sent several emails to n681ma what problems i was having only for him to call them and they admitted that although it says upload up to 5gb you can only do 1gb per file. iGo zip is 1.54gb. :/ I have been trying numerous times and so many differnt ways but we just cant find one that works.

does anyone know what the TTS portion of this reload means? I believe it is the last step in the list. Is it just the language questions you get asked upon reboot ?

If your unit reboots continously, or

reboots every few minutes, or

you can't access the navi settings menu,

here is an easy solution:

• Boot into test mode
   
  Navigate to the 'My Flash Disk/USER/UserData/iGo/save' folder
   
  Delete all files in the 'save' folder (there will prob be 4 files and 1 folder)
   
  Navigate to the 'My Flash Disk/USER/UserData/SETUP' folder
   
  Delete all files in the 'SETUP' folder (there will prob be 5 files)
   
  Exit test mode and reboot normally
   
  Problem solved!

(you will need to re-enter your settings)

Please post here and let me know if this solves your problem,

- I'm 99.99999% sure this will do the trick.

happy holidays!

infochia

TO nbdew002. Please remove some maps from the content/maps folder . this will allow you to reduce the total size to below 1gb. REmember i just need to restart the unit. i can download the rest of the maps from torrents. Thanks .Pls give it another try...
