Hi there! Any idea how to get that test mode on U310BT working? I've got this device and cannot figure out. The methods with testmode files on an SD-card do not seem to work. Anyone here to have succeded?

I think not many people bought, and few bought it had problems and returned it. I think this unit is entirely different from F/X series and I doubt if the same procedures work at all. Even the navigation software may not be same.
I will keep playing with it and see if I can figure out, but please do let us know if you got any new tricks.. 
Thanks

The U310 i had for a few days ran the same NAV software as my Z110, not sure about the OS though.

I think there are some similarities between U310 and the F series. As we know U310 is known in Europe as F310. What I’m trying now is to figure out how to load European maps on it with no success so far.

Has anyone with a U310 downloaded the Z110 service manual? Have you tried the method to get into testmode for the Z110 on the U310 to see if it works?

Here are the test mode files provided by a nice gentle man for me. All credit goes to unnamed gentle man.
I have not tried to do anything yet with these files. It seems it needs some kind of file ids to activate, but feel free to experiment.

AWESOME FIND!!! I will be experimenting with these files on the Z110 to see what happens. I am also going to post these on the Z forum as well.

Can you get your hands on the GGS1080 files for the Z110BT? These apparently are the files that are needed for that unit.

Does this s/w (testmode) work?
Can I use it to update map and poi?
Thanks!

No.

I couldn't get test mode working. Is there anything special I need to do?

There is no support for testmode on these units.

ok i have another idea for getting this thing hacked, what if we were to go into the update files and replace one of the exe files that isnt necessary with a dummy file. Theoretically this would cause the program to crash, thus revealing the desktop where we could go back in and modify the system to our liking (and then put the real file back in place of the dummy)
would this work? anyone willing to try it?

I'm very interested in hacking the U310BT too.
I work with computers, and am keen to test out any files/hacks on my unit.
I don't know much yet about these units, apart from the fact they run on WinCE.
It seems the F310BT is very similar to the U310BT, as I just downloaded and installed the 1.0004 firmware, designed for F on the U310.
ANy info on hacks specific to the F310BT?

Can someone please tell me if the GGV1345 could work for the F900BT/X910BT models?? I will burn an image and test it, but since I can not do this right now (and maybe just by next week) it would be good to know if anybody already tried it.
Service Manuals for F900BT/X910BT mentions either GGV1340 (US) or GGV1322 (EU), but unfortunately I wasn't able to find neither for download...
Besides that, does anyone know if it would be possible to unlock or change the DVD region number by using a Service Test Disk? I tried some mods on the WinCE but later I found out that the DVD mechanism is a RPC-2 type and it seems independent from the OS. I saw that both Head Unit from US and Europe have the same DVD part number, so I assume it should be possible to change the region some way, and probably by software... My hope is that a Service Disk would have such option!!

Hi russo_br, did you try it and what was the result? Any luck in changing the region code?

service mode (aka testmode) for u310bt/f310bt/f320bt series is not same as others.
f700bt/f900bt/x710bt/x910bt/f70bt/f90bt are similar to each other and use their own test mode.
have a look int he F-series forums. There are several mods there, and most of them include the working testmode for this series..
