Baedarlboo,

 

Thanks for the response. I have tried the options detailed in the guide you indicated. However, no matter what I do it always ends up the same... At the end of the process, when i restart after copying all of the files into the myflashdisk directory, the system restarts, loads the splash screen the nothing. The flash screen sits there like it's waiting for me to do something. I don't know if I'm not waiting long enough for something to happen, or is it going to remain at that screen forever. That is the basis of my post, How long should it take for the unit to be working after the last restart? And part 2, is supposed to be doing something while I'm waiting (copy files, progress bars, etc)?

You said you ended all but didn't tell whether successfully. I suspect that you might had ended up without enough space to copy all the files and apparently, there is no warning for such thing within WinCE 5. If this is the case, delete some map and poi that you don't used from the SD and make sure that all fit in your "My Flash Disk", and it has only 1.7 GB of space.

This problem has been brought up for many times in the thread. Please search and read.

if you update 3,02 from 3,01,do we need any wince upgrade or just copying all myflashdisk contents is enough?

these files dont download they say errors

Chuck 88,

Thanks I thought I read all of the posts. I do remember reading comments regarding all files not fitting, but I assumed it was because it exceeded the 1.83GB space. Regardless, I will delete maps and POI's until I get down to the file size you identified, and try again.

Thanks again

Just went to delete some of the map files and discovered the total file size is 1.62. So either the files were removed prior to my downloading them, or I downloaded the incorrect file set. I am using the files downloaded from the megaload site.

I have encountered a new twist. When I do the four finger salute in one of the early steps, I no longer need to do the up, up, down thing to reload the Wince, it goes right to the spot where I can reload wince and format.

I'll find different 3.0 files and try again.

I deleted Alaska, Hawaii, and everything west of the Mississippi. No change. I downloaded Retell's FX3.1 from a different post on the site and have the same experience. After the last restart, the unit goes to the Pioneer splash screen and sits there. I can play a cd, and control the volume, but I can't eject, or move to a different track.

Anyone have any ideas on what I might try next?

Yes, the CD can be player without any software but the button to eject must be read by the software, which explains the behavior.

Just another hint: Copy all files and folders from INSIDE the folder "My Flash Disk" from the SD to INSIDE the folder "My Flash Disk" of the AVIC HU.

Many people made the errors!

hi guys , i have f90 bt it is unning 2.0 (as i know of ) and 4 g of flashdive , i have bypassed my unit now tying to install this beautiful firmware BUT i got stuck here is what i ve done so far (note: i ve read 19 pages a few times )

 

 

1. Insert SD card into AVIC and turn it on.

2. When the pioneer logo comes up, press and hold the menu, map, eject and the reset buttons at the same time. When your screen goes completely blank, let go of the reset button but continue to hold menu, map, and eject buttons. This will bring you to a blue screen, telling you to reset the unit (ignore this)

I was finally able to get my F700BT updated to 3.0. I must have gone somewhere in the service mode that I shouldn't have. I was able to successfully able to revert to 2.0 using this post:

viewtopic.php?f=33&t=25465&hilit=mbr

Then, following the steps outlined in this topic, I updated to 3.0. All appears to be good. A weekend of driving will tell me more.

Thanks to all of those that provide support and assistance to those of us that don't have the skill set to create these mods, or encounter problems when trying to implement them. A special thanks to "another gxr 1k", who was kind enough to share his backup files.

I have learned a lot during this process and look forward to implementing a few of the mods.

Thanks

now i know im a noob for sure cuz i cant figure this ish out.

so i installed the latest 2 files and did the update and so forth but got lost on step 9 for my f700bt with the version 1.000 whatever. so i couldnt figure out and i kept gettin a black screen everytime i rebooted it. couple days later i went on pioneer website to dl the version 2.0. and i followed everything but then it wouldnt go to the main screen and when i just clicked menu it would lead me to the maps, contacts, and music area but it would only let me go towards the settings section and everything else would not work.

my question is should i redo the whole version 3 update? and if i do, can someone explain me the correct and step by step process, cuz i feel like the main page had unclear directions from step 9 and on?? please someone help me asap. i needa put together my sub and amp soon and i wanna make sure everything is working fine.

nm i figured everything out thanks to the installation with pictures.

having lots of trouble with step 4. screen keeps going black after i relase any button

having lots of trouble with step 4. screen keeps going black after i relase any button

Try this:

When the pioneer logo comes up, press and hold the menu, map, eject and the reset buttons at the same time. When your screen goes completely blank, let go of the reset button but continue to hold menu, map, and eject buttons. This will bring you to a blue screen, telling you to reset the unit (ignore this), you will have to enter the service combination. Press the volume knob in this sequence and you will see * signs for each push: Up, Up, Down, Menu, Left, Right.

how do you press the service combo when your finger is still pressing on the menu button? when the screen is blue and i release the menu button the screen black.

how do you press the service combo when your finger is still pressing on the menu button? when the screen is blue and i release the menu button the screen black.

I never did it for my unit but I believe that when you see the blue screen message, you can release all buttons before entering the service combo. If you got a black screen, then something is missing in your sequence.

still having a hard time. so now when i turn on my car, the unit's fan will turn on but the screen is blank and all the buttons dont light up. If i press and hold eject menu and map, the lights on the buttons will start pulsing and then it goes to a blue screen where you enter in the service combo. but when i release all three buttons the screen goes blank again. i tried holding the reset down with the other buttons but the screen is still blank.

another thing that happens is when the button lights start pulsing, i relase the menu and map but keep holding down the eject, the screen goes to my splash screen STI logo. but then the screen goes blank again. what is happening?

any help would be appreciated! thanks.

The torrent file is in the order of 2000 MB, so nobody is going to send it to you via email.

So you can ask people to seed their torrent or try to download again later, as this could be a temporary problem.

Neither of the downloads (zip or torrent) work.
