HOLY CRAP! Froze at 98% and said

INCORRECT SD CARD. PLEASE INSERT THE CORRECT ONE.

 

My heart jumped. I found out the issue. I fixed it and it installed now. I'm going to test it and play with it now.

 

Bluetooth AVRCP isn't working but I just remembered I haven't done the bluetooth upgrade. I'm doing that now...

 

Yeah, that was it. It's working now. This definitely not worth the $200. I'm making a file now.

 

 

Hi there I have the Same Problem as u, my pioneer say me "INCORRECT SD CARD. PLEASE INSERT THE CORRECT ONE.", what can i do?

Since your video shows German language, I assume that this in not the US update.

 

Has anyone successfully gotten the EU/German version of the v2.xxx update to work? I recall questions about it but I don't remember anyone admitting to doing it.

Can I use this update on the BT 120 in order to use maps from other countries

No. Not yet anyway.

What a masterpiece you people have done here. THANK YOU! The brilliance exhibited here is insane. I'd like to send some beer money over but the paypal link doesn't work? Asks for an email and when I input the H2CPLUZLQY string it errors? Please advise!

 

Thanks,

Tom

Hi everybody, this is my first post.

 

ShortFuse, isn't it possible to substitute the ezrider.exe for modded version and add the global license file and other country maps (such as Brazilian maps), so this unit and X920bt can work in Brazil? Cheers!

the torrent still works but you must have "DTH" enabled in utorrent.

 

and I tried to get updated to work on the "EU" ver but it did not!

was told that there was no usable software ...

its possubel that the Flach back with the first software!

 

tried all possible variations to get it work, and force write in "service mode" (mode right-left ...) so it says 2000. in almost all parts but it refused to start, so may be that Pioneer has a few diodes to set the version of the device you are using hardware that prevents regional change, Sony has this on several of its units.

However, this should go o see via schedule or on the motherboard near the CPU, some

diodes or jumpers are not soldered ...

 

ok, so i have been reading this great topic and now comes the question:

For us in Europe this crack is usefull if you want to upgrade the F10BT to the F20BT, but there is no way (yet!) of buying the American z110bt for half the price and then put in european maps, right??

 

I was about to buy the f20bt but i might wait some month due to this break through. If you guys sort this out, i will buy the z110bt instead and totally donate on that paypal link! ;)

 

thanks! Great forum btw!

Andreas.

You read to read all the posts - from my understanding, a Z110 *can* be upgraded to F20 - it's just a case of loading those files instead (???).

 

Not sure if anyone has actually done it though (you are right - price is cheap here...).

Yeah i saw you made that conclusion in a prev post rrolff, and it might be that way, and that would be great! But i have only read about uppgrading the nav from f10 to f20 and z110 to z120 and not about beeing able to install other/extra maps from EU/AU regions on a z110?

 

But as you say, maybe the enabler is just to apply those f20 upgrade-files on a "ShortFused z110bt"

 

what do you guys think? im not asking you to try it :rolleyes: (just suggesting :P)

Posted Nov 17, 2010 · 04:56 UTC#212

It might not be a big deal for you, but a Z110-BT DVD drive will be locked to region 1 (US) in hardware. The region can't be changed with the software. So you could only play reg 1 DVDs.

Posted Nov 17, 2010 · 20:52 UTC#213

True Ron.I have to take that into consideration, and i think i can live with that. I guess SD-cards and iphone will make that dvd-unit somewhat redundant.

 

Another question: If you look at Pioneers USA-page the "CNSD-110FM"-sd card holds USA/CANADA maps.In the EU-pioneer-page that same sd-card "CNSD-110FM" holds EU-maps it says! Is it possible that the "CNSD-110FM" actually holds ALL(eu/usa/au) maps? and that the maps are selected depending on unit-version?

 

Reason i ask is that i saw that the "CNSD-110FM" you can download as a torrent contained all the eu-voice-languages also, and this torrent-file is supposed to be the american version i guess(?)

The torrent is indeed the American version, I think you may be onto something there. We would need to unpack all the map data and see what's in there to confirm.

I took a deep breath, and tried the hack on my F10BT (EU). And it worked :) I was able to install the hacked US 1.001 , then the EU 2.0 update with a random password.

Thanks ShortFuse for the hack!

 

It seems, that the application part is the same for both variants.

 

The only strange thing is that after I tried to install the 2.003 update, it still says 2.0000 although it copied the files, and it seemed that it finished correctly (reseted / restarted itself as it should). If I try to reinstall the update, nothing happens.

 

The unit seems to be fully functional, so it's fine for now.

 

But did you ever try to upgrade to f20bt via the cnsd-110FM card? this firmware upgrade didnt bring you the new gui, right?

no offence, but what did it bring? sure you got it, as it still says 2.000?

Posted Nov 22, 2010 · 00:45 UTC#216

is this the same step to crak an Z120BT?

If you download both updates, you will see, that the map content is completely different. As I already mentioned, only the application is the same (this explains why all languages are available in both)

With The v.2.000 update I succesfully installed the new GUI too...

By the way, the 2.003 upgrade was indeed succesfull, only the application info screen says it is still 2.000 (probably this is only a platform version)

In testmode the application version is displayed correctly as 2.003

So to your question: it brought new maps and new GUI (I don't like the new GUI, but there was no choice if I wanted actual maps, which are actually still a bit outdated...), the 2.003 brings although no noticable change

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

 

 

My Ipod Touch will not play pandora unless im in a wifi location. how does it work?

From what I know, an Ipod Touch doesn't have a cellular chip/antenna.... So you cannot pass any data when wifi is not present....

Or am I behind on things?

Seems pretty straight forward to me though....

I check back on this thread from time to time but it seems that alot of it is off topic besides the hacked update. Are we currently still working on how to access files to unpack file data. I know current progress is going to come from the service menu as we can insert file data but without decrypting anything were still at stand still. I know alot of people are interested in free stuff but Im looking forward to maps updates that make the navigation as useful as portable units :)

ok! thank you flash for your feedback! I havent been able to locate the EU maps on the internet yet though.

 

yeah i saw that 2.003 update had 4 minor updates. A correction of a misspelled word in the spanish language pack was one of the fixes :rolleyes:

Posted Dec 08, 2010 · 17:12 UTC#223

Now that this is capable, is Asian fonts in the works or info on how to do it?

Posted Dec 13, 2010 · 03:49 UTC#224

So my question to this is.. Does this mod work 100% If I do the crack exactly right, will it upgrade my z110bt to the z120bt w/ the upgraded maps? I have the torrent from a long time ago, right when it was uploaded.. I'm worried that if something jacks up, I'll be sitting on a $1300 paperweight. Thanks guys! I did look through the whole topic, but it seems as if theres a lot of bricks getting made and a lot of confusion.

The link for the IMAGE.img file didnt come through fully, will you please repost so I can check it out?

 

thank you

 

Interesting... it worked today!
