So here's how I understand it..

 

U download the 1.001000 update from Pioneer, replace the 2 files and copy 1.001000 update (with the patched files) to an SD card. Insert that and update the radio.

 

Then after the AVIC is updated to 1.001000, you go ahead and insert the (1 of 2)120BT SD cards update? Inputting anything for a password?

 

How big do those cards have to be?

I have a question regarding the 1.001000 update from Pioneer. I currently have the Z110bt software. I have already installed the 1.001000 update on my unit. I would like to install the patched version of the 1.001000 update. Having the 1.001000 update installed prior to the patched version will that make any difference?

No, because says it's a fake 1.00200. Just replace the files and it should work.

Thank you very much for the reply. Great job with the cracking!!!

thanks ShortFuse it worked perfect, one other question how do you get pandroa link up i dont see it?

Thxs for al the hard work! I really appreciate it. I also have the EU version F10BT, would love to hear some one crack it. Could someone make a guide. Step by step for the NOOBS? haha

THXS again!!

Wow, wasn't sure anyone would figure it out. Well done!

Pandora source only shows up when you plug in the iPhone/Touch.

Looking more into the .IMG file and the reason that it cannot be opened. Doing some research on this it seems that it is a GEM Image file with an .img file extension. Apparently, these programs open it up, but I dont have any of them

Adobe Photoshop CS5

CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X5

Corel PaintShop Photo Pro X3

GEM Paint

Corel WordPerfect Office X5

There are multiple files with a .img extension, being GEM that fits best, because it is used to embed bmp's

You can download the Adobe Photoshop CS5 30 day trial version from the Adode website. I was using it for a while until my work decided to pay for the software. If I could remember correctly, it took about 40-45 minutes to download from their website.

...it's not a GEM file. It's a Pioneer created proprietary format. It a collection of 2000+ bmp files. Take a hex editor and you'll see that. It has to be decoded. We do know there are bmp files in there but they either don't have a header or they're compressed.

At 7 mb, they are DEFINATELY compressed. That is what baffles me, if it is compressed, then it has to be able to be decompressed. I am just baffled at what kind of img file it is.Here is a list of known img file extensions. A few of them can be ruled out, but, There is still a lot:

I have performed the update and can confirm that it works!

A big thank you to ShortFuse.

A couple of questions - I performed the update using the image of the first SD card.

1) What is the second SD card image used for?

2) Is it safe to upgrade from firmware 2.0 to 2.003?

Isn't the second SD card (smaller file) for the bluetooth firmware update?

U need to stick in SD1 and update BT, then stick SD2 and update BT. It clearly explains it in the PDF instructions that you can download from Pioneer.

http://www.pioneerelectronics.com/ephox/StaticFiles/Manuals/Car/CNSD-110FM.pdf

Download the v1.001 update from Pioneer.

Replace \AVICZ110\EU090APL.VER and \AVICZ110\APL\RenewalIFLib.dll with the files attached.

Copy the AVICZ110 folder with the patched files to the root of an SD card.

Insert the SD to your Z110BT and it should start updating automatically.

I already installed v1.001 from Pioneer but I can't get your FAKE v1.002 to install. The HU doesn't recognize the SD card as an update card, just a simple SD card. I have the AVICZ110 folder in the root directory, and it has the two files replaced.

I have no idea what to do next.

I did try and upgrade from Z110 to Z120 anyway, just to see if the v1.002 update took but it just didnt tell me it did. Unfortunately, I can't get pass the PASSWORD prompt. Even if I use all characters and fill up the box.

Please let me know what to do next.

Regarding the img file: it might also be a kind of flash filesystem.

(We used this extension during our development process too for files to be flashed.)

I will try to mount it in linux as a filesystem, to check it.

Eh, out of the industry now and I didn't think I could do anything cool to my Z110 so I don't check the board much anymore. Guess that may change if someone figures out how to mod this thing like my old F700 was

UPDATE:

I just found out my 32GB card is fake and the update did not exist on my card when updating. I am assuming this is why it didn't work. I will get a genuine card and try the update later. EBAY sellers are sometimes EVIL!!!!

Lol, I bet you found this out AFTER you gave him excellent feedback

That is why I never give feedback until about a week after i received the product.

Hey, I'm new here and would like to know what does this first phase mean? Does it mean we're closer to hack this device? The point is, I'm from Brazil and am thinking in buy this navigator, but I'll need to install brazilian maps on it, so should I wait or forget about this navigator and try to find another one (maybe X910BT)?

Thank you

Sorry for my english.

Wow, upgraded perfectly, thanks ShortFuse.

To echo nguyen50's question: is it safe to go from firmware 2.0 to 2.003?

Looking at the update there looks to be new RenewalIFLib.dll and EU090APL.VER files.

2.0 to 2.003 upgrade does not require a password.

UPDATE: I just found out my 32GB card is fake and the update did not exist on my card when updating. I am assuming this is why it didn't work. I will get a genuine card and try the update later. EBAY sellers are sometimes EVIL!!!!

This is off topic but this is yet another reason not to buy stuff on eBay if there is no way you can tell if its genuine or not. And just so everyone knows, memory products on eBay, particularly SD cards are often lower capacity cards from what they are advertised as.

I just wanted to let everyone know that my failed update attempts were due to faulty hardware, and not to discredit shortfuse for all his hard work. And as for the EBAY seller (beststore778), he/she will get what they deserve in time. I did, however, give negative feedback to warn others of the wrong doing.
