I should be all good. My torretflux-b4rt shows that the file is seeding with 2 host and 0 peers.

Don't know what else could be wrong. I tried, with unlimited upload. Sorry, don't fully understand torrents and how they work.

hey guys, need a little bit of help, I have been searching the forums for some help and haven't quite found it on my own.

 

Upfront I know everyone says this is "so easy" and "did you try the search feature" and yes I have.

 

 

So I followed the instructions from a print out, a few times. At first I didn't realize but the files were too big so I deleted the maps and POI's that I definitely will not need. Now everything seems to go through fine. After the files are transferred over I reset the the unit, and finally after a few tries I can get to the Pioneer screen, which is better than where I was first, with no splash and then turn off.

 

I attempted to download the firmware from Pioneer and boot up that way, but that was prior to getting a pioneer screen.

 

At this point I have only been able to Select Language and Voice options and then it hangs up at the pioneer screen. I did wait up to 15-20min to see if this was a loading process, but it appears to be stuck.... can anyone advise what to do?

Awesome! Went without a hitch! I even subbed in the new 2010 maps! Thanks for a fine package and simple instructions! So far all is good, Bluetooth, XM Radio, Ipod!

No one has had this?

 

I read that my SD card might not be compatible so I've tried two different ones now PNY and Sandisk, both get the same results.... im considering getting one listed on the WIKI site just to try that avenue but it seems like it wouldnt make a big difference since all the files are copying, unless for some reason they are getting corrupted during the transfer....

 

 

Either way i still get the Pioneer startup screen, lets me select voice/language, then pioneer screen again, after about 3-5min it looks like it reboots, and same thing...

 

 

I've tried deleting the gps bin files as it states on WIKI but no success

Now i've tried using a different SD card and also grabbed the 2.08 files off of my friends f90bt and still no success....

 

still no one has an answer?

 

I see a few ppl have had this issue but they fixed it by trying again (which ive done several times)

I dont understand this... every few months I come back to trying to update my f900... and everytime I come on the forum I'm a few weeks late for the file being up on a torrents... on a website as a file... I'M SO FRUSTRATED! Pioneer really f'd us up by not giving the update for free... this radio is garbage with the 2.0 updates... I don't understand why they didn't remedy the issue with the update for free... CROOKS...

Well, Driving down the road. And my hunk of shiz started the endless reboot crap. I deleted the GPS files in the folder. Unplugged the antenna. Nothing. Short fuse almost got the best of me, was just about to haul off and let the thing feel my right fist. Went back inside and found this thread. Downloaded the 3.1 and let it seed for 2 days. Did the install last night. Went off without a hitch. Did a reboot when it asked for my voice selection. But let it do its thing, and everything works great. And holy hell is this thing fast. Honestly this forum is the only reason i stuck with the f90. Im a Alpine fan for sure. And can tell you i prolly wont buy another Pioneer again. But thanks posting this. Its bought the HU some more time.

There is no such release as FW 3.1. FX 3.1 (not FW 3.1) contains only FW 3.0. :mrgreen:

hey dudes...

 

i have a problem, i went ahead and updated CE and everything

 

now, i copied all the files correctly,

 

and when I Select a Voice, Samantha, or that other English one it just high-lights it and then it restarts... any fix for this?

 

maybe it is missing something??

 

AVIC-F90BT

 

thanks... I am running this on a test bench being powered by a ATX Power Supply with the jade cable grounded... thanks...

Posted Jan 24, 2011 · 23:07 UTC#591

ok.. new problem, after about a couple of minutes of getting past the screen.. it will just automatically restart and stay stuck on the pioneer screen :-/

Posted Jan 25, 2011 · 07:04 UTC#592

So does anybody else get any of the following bugs:

 

(after every startup)

- Map always defaults to 3D without showing street names

- Doesn't keep contacts, favorites, or home address in memory

- Doesn't keep illumi setting in memory

 

Do I need to re-install? Empty a WinCE folder? Install a different GUI?

 

I have the same problems, but my illumi settings are OK...

 

Also, mine forgets that I disabled auto connection on bluetooth. GRR.

 

I'm not sure what to do other than retry the install.

Hey,

 

Thanks for the hax0red file set and the instructions.

 

I made it to STEP 6 (the copy process) and was greeted by "file size is larger than available space..." error message. So I went into your file set and deleted several of the maps for areas I'll never be in (the Dakotas, Minnesota, etc.), but I only removed a few. Then tried it again only to get the same error. This time I continued past that error and selected OVERWRITE ALL. The entire process worked and the system restarted after the 5 second RESET.

 

One minor thing: There is no map image on my GPS. Everything else is there (all of the option buttons on the right side, the red triangle "you are here", etc.). I am going to see if the map image appears later today when I go out and turn on the unit again. I am going to try to copy in the maps I deleted from your list just to be sure I have 100% of your file set in my AVIC.

 

Sincerely and with Thanks.

 

 

UPDATE: Used the FX3.1 SD-card to get back into WinCE on my F90BT. Then I took a look at the MAPS folder and noticed that only certain state maps had the "...2009.06..." as part of the name. After rebooting the unit the list of states to search for an address was REALLY short (it was only the state files with that 2009.06 as part of the name, all others were not listed, including the state I'm in: therefore no map on the GPS). I'm going to erase all maps without the 2009.06 file name and copy over the ones with it. I'll let you know if this fixes it shortly.

 

UPDATE II: That was the problem. I erased all maps and then copied them all back onto the AVIC from the SD-card. I do see the problem, from time to time, of the street names not showing up on my screen. And, when trying to zoom in and out of the map while the radio is on changes the station up and down the preset list. I guess that function is incorrectly linked to the control stick.

 

UPDATE III: Reading another member's post about the 2010 TeleAtlas Maps, I decided to copy in those series of maps (only those I thought necessary for my driving area), POI files and the USA DEM file. It worked with the EZRIDER.exe and license file that is already within this 3.1 file set. Also, I noticed that the road names appear more frequently when in 3D view if you zoom in to the 500' scale. At 1,000' very few names appear on the screen. Thanks again for this assembled set! Now, I just need to get the bluetooth working again with my iPhone. It's lost the link.

So, after 6 months of use I lost my GPS signal today. After a couple of hours or trying figure out if a wire broke or the GPS antenna was dead, I just, on a hunch, decided to re-installed the 3.1FX and GPS started working.

 

I ordered the free upgrade 2.xx SD card from Pioneer, just in case I ever have to go back to the old software. Anyone know how to revert back to 2.xx? Is it the same procedure where you copy over the contents of the flash drive over onto the onboard drive and reset?

 

Thanks.

Funny this is the exact thing that happened to me yesterday. I held the reset button down and the unit went into frenzy and do the infinite reboot loop.

 

I'll probably be doing the reload of 3.1fx tonight and see if that helps. Should've sold the unit when it was working at 100%.

 

Anyone wanna buy mine?

Same here yesterday....GPS showed me way off the map, then the GPS quit altogether and then infinite boot loop. What the hell happened?

Successfully installed on my F900BT today, thanks

Someone Please seed. Thanks!!! I really appreciate it!

Posted Feb 03, 2011 · 18:39 UTC#598

excuse my noobness but why does this say 'works with any X series' isn't this the F series forum..?

Posted Feb 03, 2011 · 18:53 UTC#599

It was originally made for the X series, but just so happens to be compatible with the F series... As far as I can tell...

Posted Feb 04, 2011 · 14:34 UTC#600

Anyone mind seeding this one still?
