So I've managed to use a modified version of winCE for the 500BT and booted into this hack. Everything seemed to work great till I typed in an address here on my bed, and zoomed out.
edit: nevermind, some weird default setting changed. 
Hi All. First time posting so be gentle with me. I have read this and many other threads before posting but I have not found what I need just yet, hence my plea for help.
My f700 went into the endless re-boot problem and in trying to cure it, I screwed it up completely. I had previously bought and installed CNSD200FM which was fine for a couple of months. I did this upgrade last night as per the OP's 1st message and it all seems fine. My only problem now is that I need to Euroize it as I live in the UK.
First I substituted the entire Contents folder from the 3.1 upgrade with the one from CNSD, but the unit wouldn't boot. Then I erazed the contents of the Building, Map and POI folders and replaced them with the contents of the same folders from the CNSD200FM SD card. The unit boots OK but I am stuck in Hungary with no other countries to chose from.
Could one of you kind souls explain what I should be doing to make this work. I would be happy with maps from igo-maps.info if that's any easier. Should I be doing something with the License folder?
TIA, John
just installed in f90bt and everything is great. Just one question though. In the service info menu screen what are all of the new options for (Debugger, open explorer, etc. etc)
ok im a noob but this piratebay looks like a spam-ware treasure chest!!! what the hell is this. it comes up as FX3.1.rar.5546342.TPB and its a torrent bata file when i download it. what do i do with it after i download it. i open it with winrar and it trys to download it again from tixati which is the torrant i downloaded cause limewire is under a investigation lol. like i said this is all new to me but im just trying to fix my 910bt its stuck in the reboot loop and removing those 4 files didn't do anything other then erase all my settings
HELP!!!!! I read through all 36 pages of this post and I can't find a solution to my issue with my 700. I followed the directions to the "t" but can't get the upgrade installed. I am able to download and extract the file to my SD card. I put the card into the deck and get to the menu as directed. I select the "Wince by SD/MMC (format)" option and it completes the "read" portion 100%. Next it begins the "write" process but stops at 5%. I have left it in there for over an hour and it will not go past the 5%. I have tried redownloading the upgrade and multiple SD cards that were all formatted with Fat32. Any thoughts? What am I doing wrong? Really appreciate the help... Driving around without a stereo sucks!!!
Just completed install on F90BT. Worked great. Thanks for the easy to follow directions!
I completed install on F900BT EU version, concretely CZECH. Everything works great except TMC. I need some time to fix tmc setting in IGO. Only difference was install EU maps,voices and languages.. but this can be done with old CONTENT directory from previous EU version..
Many thanks, system is very fast now
I followed the instructions and made it to the reset unit step (step 5). After reseting the splash screen comes up and then the unit cuts off. If I follow read the instruction right it should automatically go to test mode on step 6. Is there anything I can do is the issue with my unit bigger than firmware? My origanal reason for doing the update was because the unit would freeze on the splash screen.
Thanks

I was stuck on this too. I realized I did not have the required Testmode loaded on the SD card. I downloaded it here: http://avic411.com/index.php?/topic/29694-testmode-23-for-20-30-31/
Just put the unrar'd testmode folder containing all of its files in the ROOT of the SD card.
My issue is once I enter Testmode, I go to windows explorer and click on "SD CARD" drive, it takes about 5-10 mins to respond. Then, I go to click "select all" in the edit dropdown menu, and that takes another 5 mins or more..
I've been patient and waited 5-10+ mins each time I want to make a click, and got all the way to "paste" into the My Flash Disk drive and it never even pastes 
I've tried a different SD card and a USB drive.. with no luck
Any pointers?
Alright, so I have read every page and I am a little confused on the beginning stages of the process. First off, I have the avic-f7010bt, with version 2.8 firmware.
I am confused on what to do with my SD card the the RAR file.
I downloaded it, and then downloaded WinRAR.
1. The RAR file is on my desktop, and since I now have WinRAR, when I click the file, it opens using WinRAR.
2. Then the following list of items appears in WinRAR: folder(..), folder (My Flash Disk), and folder (testmode), then device.nng, WINCEIMG.BIN, and WINCEIMG.CKS
3. I then deleted everything on my 4gb SD card and made sure it was formatted to FAT32.
4. Next, I dragged all of the items (listed above from (..)-(WINCEIMG.CKS) onto my blank SD card.
AM I READY TO GO AHEAD TO THE NEXT STEP??? AM I READY TO PUT THIS IN THE UNIT??
THANKS!!
I have downloaded winrar, yet the update file keeps wanting to continue downloading via frostwire (limewire clone) surely i must be doing something wrong. the file frostwire tries downloading is 270 something megabites so i know its the right one.. is there any other way i can download this?
yeah it would be great if a few people would seed this file

you need to decompress the .rar file using winrar and then place all the decompressed files onto the sd card. next you can put the card in and turn on the unit do the sequence to get into the update dos and update WinCE then reboot and let it run test mode this will bring up windows CE where you can copy and paste the files needed. I am in need of the file if you could seed it that would be awesome.
Hi guys i need help with this file, i'd like to get it for update my F900BT but i'm not able to find a valid link also using google. The one posted here isn't on seed anymore so if u can share with me a different torrent source or megaupload links u'd make my life easyer! Thx
THAAAAAAANKS "RETELL",
YOU SAVED MY DECK FROM BEING A PAPERWEIGHT.
I'M EXTREMLY GREATFUL FOR PEOPLE LIKE YOU, DOING STUFF LIKE THIS TO HELP OTHERS OUT.
VERY COOL.
I am now seeding via torrent server! Max download for all who want. Please let me know if this forum or its members need specific things seeded. I am using torrentflux, and will soon create a username and password for the leaders people on this board to be able to upload their torrent file. If anyone would like to assist me in setting up, I would be very grateful. I am not very fluent in Linux. I need to be able to create user with limitations.
Hey guys, just got my F700 2 days ago and this is my first post, so be gentle on me:
I'm getting ready do this upgrade, but would like to do a backup of my current 2.0ver.
1) how do you perform a backup? I searched this forum for an hour and could not find instructions on how to do this...
2) if something goes wrong during my 3.1 migration, how do you restore from backup?
This noob will greatly appreciate any response.
Anyone have the FX 3.1 on a share somewhere? None of the Torrent links work.
Thanks

This will not be available forever for those that will view this in the future.
But it is good for the time era of this post date.
Seeding would be greatly appreciated.
Have been downloading for 3+ hours now and am at 25% anymore seeders would be appreciated.
I should be seeding, but I do not see any upload activity for that file. If you are fluent with how torrents work I can give you admin access to address whatever may be wrong with my torrentflux server.

The original link you posted did not work with the supplied username and password. I am currently at 87% with an estimation of 4 more hours of download time.
