Can I just run the 2.0008 Software like I was going to do the upgrade again and will the deck go back to normal?

So I copied the files over and followed the directions, but now my deck goes to the Pioneer start up screen and then shuts off. HELP !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Can I just run the 2.0008 Software like I was going to do the upgrade again and will the deck go back to normal?

Sounds like the WINCEIMG.BIN that was used to flash is not compatible with your device. Is it a F500BT ? If so, then you are have the same experience as me. I ended up flashing my F500BT back to 2.0006 (my unit is North America) with the WINCEIMG.BIN found in the official Pioneer update zip file. And then of course copy back the My Flash Disk folder from backup.

Ok. I got it to work. I just loaded up 3.0 like I was doing it for the first time. Everything upgraded fine. I will hold off on 3.1 until I am a bit more brave.

It most be mee but i Have try about 6 times the correct prosses and I cant it pass the boot screen.After i reboot the unit It will ask me to choose the language and region but it reboots and it never leaves the boot screen. Can any body help Please.

I have the same problem but instead of selecting a language and a region, I have to choose a language and then GPS voice. I get around the reboot issue by just clicking "Ok" and "Ok" at the bottom right of the screen. When I do this, it boots with no problems, if I select a language or gps voice then the system reboots. Fortunately I just want the defaults so there isn't an issue.

I have a backup camera and can get the language screen to disappear sometimes by putting it into reverse a few times when the language screen is present. This does not seem to be as consistent as when I first did the update.

Can anyone please seed this torrent, and/or put it up somewhere for download?!

Today I'm on a T1 connection and still every torrent I have is moving except for one, can you guess which? I guess only a handfull of people actualy seed this torrent. Please seed! Thanks!

I'm uploading the torrent I downloaded in less than 30 minutes TODAY... to my webhost... so you guys can stop griping about there not being any working links Oh yea hey, I'm new to the forums, just bought a used F900BT off eBay from a seller with 40,000+ sales and a 97%+ Feedback rating... I'll continue this intro elsewhere, and I'll post a working LINK when the upload finishes.

This is not working for me, and I'm not doing anything wrong! When I copy the My Flash Drive files, the screen becomes unresponsive when I try to go up 2 folders to paste it. It is just stuck on that same screen. Everything I touch on the screen is froze. It will not go past this step, and I've tried it over and over again. It works fine up until I get to this step. Can anyone help me fix it so I can put this thing up for sale?

Thanks! I was hoping to get this today but I will get back on the T1 connection tomorrow hopefully your link will be ready

Could you please add the europen version of this fix 3.1 which contains eu maps for people who lives in Europe?

Could you please add the europen version of this fix 3.1 which contains eu maps for people who lives in Europe?

probably not, he just posted what was in the original torrent that was posted a year ago

If someone can find me the EU maps through either torrent or other source, I'll be more than happy to host them through my webhost...

The EU maps firmware's link is below;

Dear All,

This is my first post but it's going to be VERY IMPORTANT for those, like me, that had a bricked F900BT. My AVIC, after a couple of months working very well, stopped working: Starting up and a few seconds shutting down permanently...

I've spent hours reading here at AVIC411 and in other sites, getting more and more confused. I've got an backup image here ( without maps ) and my device worked and rebooted every 3 minutes...

The following procedure was partially got from an italian forum ( pioneernavgate.blogfree.net )but again, besides the italian language ( even with the aid of a online tranlator ), it was a little bit messy. The way i got my AVIC working was a lot more simple :

HERE IS WHAT YOU NEED:

- Testmode v 2.3 ( you can find it here at AVIC411 )

- a first 2Gb SD card ( formmated in FAT 32 )

- a second 2 Gb SD Card ( formmated in FAT 32 )

- Download this: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=3YBUDX0P and after downloading it rename it to "avic f900_700_500 ver_3.000300.rar"

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=CAK7C9HA and after downloading it rename it to "avic f900_700_500 ver_3.000301.rar"

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=RAGYEFBX and after downloading it rename it to "avic f900_700_500 ver_3.000302.rar"

( IMPORTANT: disregard what the downloaded files say: part1, 2...just do what i've written above )

- Extract the 3 to a single folder.

- This folder will say " My Flash Disk". Copy this folder to the first SD Card.

- Copy "testmode" folder into the first SD card as well.

- Insert SD Card to the F900BT SD Slot and then turn the car key on. The "testmode" will allow you to access Windows CE of your device. With this you can start exploring it.

- At Windows you should go to "Start" - > "Settings" - > "Control Panel" -> " Storage Settings ". Here you' ll see the disk structure of your device. You should Dismount "DSK1" and then click on "NEW" and name it "My Flash Disk". With this procedure, your previous " My Flash Disk" is clean ( I've done this because before that i couldn't erase all the files in it ).

- Copy all files inside first SD Card's folder "My Flash Disk" to your device "My Flash Disk". This will take a while ( 15 or more minutes ) so, probably, your car engine should be running.

- After all files are successfully copied, remove SD Card from your device SD slot and shut your car engine.

At this moment, your device still doesn't work.

- Download Pioneer's new firmware for this model here hXXp://213.244.172.244/files/support/avic_apl_upgrade/AVIC-F700900/09%20model/AVIC_F700BT_F900BT_CNSD100FM_VER_3020200.zip and extract it to your second SD Card.

- With the car key turned off, insert this second SD to your device SD Slot.

- Turn the key on ( this will take 10 or more minutes ), probably starting the engine and keep it running.

- The device will be updated automatically. DON'T TURN THE CAR KEY !!! Let the Update proceed itself to the end. This will look sometimes that is stalled but let it run. The F900BT will reboot itself and, after a minute or so, IT'S READY !!!!

:!:

THIS WORKED WITH MINE ! I DON'T TAKE ANY RESPONSABILITY FOR ANY DAMAGE THAT MIGHT OCCUR IN YOURS !

ENJOY!

maybe somebody can upload 3.0201 update ? because i cant connect to the torrent?thank you

Im a noob to this so bare with me please...

A few weeks ago, my Avic x910bt got stuck in a reboot loop with the message saying "Fatal Error"

From my researchon this site, Im thinking i just need to reinstall the firmware?

PS: does having 3.1 mean that I will have the newest maps, and other apps?

Thank you

Make sure you are doing step 6 correctly! What did you do exactly for step 6?

 

Did you get an out-of-space message from Windows at the end?

 

Can you post the contents (folders list) inside "My Device->My Flash Disk" of the unit after copying?

 

Can you verify the space of the "My Flash Disk" on the SD versus on your AVIC?

Hi there, just tried this and i got an out of space message at the end, followed by the exact same problem as shaver... any idea?

so let me get this straight. this download is firmware update + mods?!! /drool

is there anyone still seeding this?

Secondly, it says thatthe TA 2009.6 map upgrade is included with this package but what about the 2010.6 maps as shown here?> http://avic411.com/i...-north-america/

Can anyone direct me as to how to upgrade the maps to the 2010 maps posted in the above link? I'd like to ad them to this file before I do the upgrade but I'm not sure how to do it. Any help would be really appreciated.

I have discovered that my microphone is not inputting to my F700BT anymore. I confirmed this by trying to use the TTS control screen to change sources, songs anything and it fails everytime. During phone calls I can hear the other person perfectly fine, but they cannot hear me. However when I disconnect the call the other person does here some "open circuit static" for a moment before the call ends.

I disconnected the microphone and plugged it into a mic input on my computer. Using Windows Sound Recorder I was able to hear myself crystal clearly, so the microphone is functioning perfectly.

I've checked every setting I can see on both my HU and my phone but no luck. Does anyone know of any issue with the update or coincidental but unrelated issue with the HU that could cause this?

I just downloaded FX3.1 from a different source thinking maybe it was just a bad copy eventhough it transferred correctly, no luck. I have even gone so far as to check my phone for updates and I have updated the bluetooth software on the avic hoping for resolution. Pretty frustrating as I initially bought the 700 for two reasons, in-dash navigation and bluetooth for my phone.

anyone know how to get speedlimit signs to show up with this firmware.

Hi all, and thanks very much Retell !!

I was able to download the torrent from tpb, if someone needs seeds, just tell, i'll do it.

I was also able to find EU maps via a great link i found on this topic, but had to choose when installing on the Avic (I have a F900BT) because of disk space issues.

Setup on the avic went very fine, the tutorial is IMPECCABLE !!

There are just two things which annoys me :

- I don't have the TMC anymore, i mean when i enter the navigation menu an then "traffic", i always get a "No traffic events available". And that was working very well when i was in ver. 2.xxxxxxx. Is this normal ?

- The second one is not that serious but was useful before, it seems that in the 8.3 version of iGo, there's no more speed display on the left in the little frame with dark background. Just above the time left in a route.

Can anyone help me on this ? The one really urgent is TMC / Traffic info, I go on a trip on tomorrow night and in my country it's a long weekend because of National Day, if i can get rid of the traffic jams i'd be very happy

Thanks a lot and excuse me for my English, i'm from France lol
