i cant get it to load up just boots to the pioneer screen now

more details? what exactly did you do?

i cant get it to load up just boots to the pioneer screen now

i think i upgraded winceimg.bin/.cks files first put into root sd card then put in test mode. On explorer went to my devices Update/USER/PRG/APL folder clicked on aplupdate it tells me to update CPLD first instead i skipped that and hit update apl. it reboots and finishes flashing then copied and pasted the APL & Fonts folder, and EL090APL.HTM /.VER to My Flash Disk/PRG0/ folder Also, copied Update/VERINFO.DAT over to My Flash Disk/SYSTEM/RENEWAL also my volume.dat file then rebooted everything was the same then i tried again and deleted the whole my flash disk folder and transfered the my flash disk folder that i downloaded on here

before you erased My Flash Disk, do you happen to know if you had a PRG.FLG file in there? If so, I think it tells the unit to load the app in PRG1 instead of default of PRG0. (if this is the case, not sure it would work with older 1.x app running on 2.x OS image).

I'm not sure about the "My Flash Disk" folder anywhere here... Just repeat the steps:

- from the update, copy APL & Fonts folder, and EL090APL.HTM /.VER to My Flash Disk/PRG0/

- from the update, copy VERINFO.DAT to My Flash Disk/SYSTEM/RENEWAL

- from the update, copy VOLUME.DAT to My Flash Disk (i think others said this may be necessary)

reboot

i can't put any kind of app working! launcher keeps reboting, same as other apps (clock, video, etc) what i'm doing wrong?

do you have igo installed and ready to run at \Storage Card\igo8\igo8.exe, or have you modified \AVIC-APPS\Launcher\Launcher.mscr to launch the app you want (with RunWait) ??

as a test, try dropping in some other executable (like regedit.exe, or whatever) in to the place of one of the other apps exe..

thanks for the advise. now it´s working

pionara your launcher method works great! iGO works no problem after detecting the gps port in the settings.

Also for you guys out there that want to watch video, get TCPMP installed and you'll be set.

Thanks pionara for all your hard work and research!

I can't run Igo now, after all this changes. It only starts, ask for language and close automaticly when click done on language menu.

Any ideas?

maybe something wrong with igo or it's settings?

for troubleshooting, can you run it straight from testmode without any issues?

i actually had a few problems running igo at the start because i think i copied over some folders to igo wrong. after

im running 8.3.4.142975 w/ 2011 NT maps. (gpsunderground forum is your friend)

pionara i been repeating the steps you told me but i think its not going to work since i erased my flash disk folder and didnt backup. i need my flash disk files. i appreciate your help

No, I can't run even from test mode now. I have tried all iGO primo versions from gps underground, and all do the same, after they loads, they for language, and after I choose it aplication closes by itself. The version that was before upgrade, works on my device in test mode without problems about 2-3 weeks. I have done everything like the others do:

-copy winceimg.bin/.cks to the root of the Storage Card, and even TestMode, QI_037_CNSD_130FM and u310bt-apphack complete folders

-I start update from \Storage Card\QI_037_CNSD_130FM\Update\USER\PRG\APL\aplupdate

-update was OK, after that it boots in the test mode and I have deleted all files and folders in My Flash Disk

-I create My Flash Disk\PRG0 and copied APL & Fonts folder, and EL090APL.HTM /.VER

-I create My Flash Disk\SYSTEM\RENEWAL and copied VERINFO.DAT in it

-I copied VOLUME.DAT in My Flash Disk folder

-after that I copied content of u310bt-apphack folder to the root of storage card (I have modified Launcher.mscr to point \Storage Card\igo12\igo.exe)

-I have deleted TestMode folder and reset device

After that it couldn't load application, it boots into some kind of a black window with message that there is no valid application.

I have removed SD Card and it was still the same

After that I add TestMode folder and remove AVIC-APPS, .DS_Store and AppsLib.dll fromn root of \Storage Card.

I try to run iGO manualy in test mode but it couldn't. I remove SD Card and it boots into pioneer aplication, version 2.01.

This version runs without problems, but I would like if I could start even iGO now.

Any advice or have I done something wrong?

vojopg:

1. did you copy hacked appslib.dll to My Flash Disk\PRG0\APL ? otherwise you will get an invalid app error

2. did you already setup an SD card with regular avic-apps folder by using the avicfeeds pc app (or navgate [euro version])? i think it installs device.dat and real "signed" apps into avic-apps of sd card. You should use my update to replace Applist.dat and add Launcher folder to avic-apps, after using the pc app to setup the sd card

3. if igo doesnt run in testmode, then something is wrong with that igo app (lang, ui, something). testmode completely bypasses loading of pioneer navi stuff..

I dont know about primo, but look at "iGO 8.3.4.142975, may 11 2010" + the right maps/pois

dvel85:

no worries. you dont need anything from My Flash Disk, as long as you didnt delete My Flash Disk2 - which has map/data folder (NDATA) for stock navi

see the posts from others here...

from update, you only need to:

perform OS update with winceimg.bin

copy from update:

APL and Fonts folders, and EL090APL.HTM/.VER, into My Flash Disk/PRG0

VOLUME.DAT into My Flash Disk

VERINFO.DAT into My Flash Disk\SYSTEM\RENEWAL

reset

then you can do the app hack launcher

you are on f310bt, u310bt, or f320bt, right?

No. I just copied it to the root of SD Card. Ok I will move it to My Flash Disk\PRG0\. Do I need to copy only this one file, or all the content of u310bt-apphack?

just need to copy over appslib.dll to My Flash Disk\PRG0\APL, replacing the one thats already there... it's the lib that launches apps (and checks for proper signature) in app-mode

And what with other content, AVIC-APPS folder and .DS_Store file? Do I need to copy them to the root of Storage Card?

Thanks

I get it work. Thanks a lot pionara

ok started a new thread in the hopes that we can condense all the learnings of this for make benefit of all on this board...

Pionara,

thanks for the apps dll hack. Its the one bit I was still missing. It means I don't now have to replace tel.exe with iGO.

The only bit left now is to find out how to control whether it boots to the AVIC-APPS or standard NAVI rather than it automatically booting to the NAVI when you exit the AVIC-APPS application.

Somniac.

here's the key:

when the unit starts up, HMIManager.exe checks if this file exists:

\My Flash Disk\System\AppsLib\Apps.dat

If so, he executes this file in app-mode, if not, he launches navi.exe

the file looks like this, and can be changed with a hex-editor.

0000000: aaaa aaaa 4100 5600 4900 4300 2d00 4100  ....A.V.I.C.-.A.
0000010: 5000 5000 5300 5c00 4c00 6100 7500 6e00  P.P.S.\.L.a.u.n.
0000020: 6300 6800 6500 7200 5c00 4c00 6100 7500  c.h.e.r.\.L.a.u.
0000030: 6e00 6300 6800 6500 7200 2e00 6500 7800  n.c.h.e.r...e.x.
0000040: 6500                                     e.

I think this file is deleted by HMIManager.exe as soon as the app is launched, so that when it exits, it goes back into navi.exe mode after reboot.

The trick that I'm doing is that I have setup my launcher.mscr in such a way that I detect that the com port isnt the way that I want it, make those changes, copy my own Apps.dat (pointing to launcher.exe again), and reboot... this way, i know that I will run at least one more time.

When the com port is right, I launch igo (runwait), and when he exits, I change the com port back, then reset - but dont update apps.dat, so that we boot back to navi (stock mode).

This could be modified any way you want.. Put a menu in before or after asking user if he wants to go back to stock mode, etc. MortScript "menu" to choose other apps.

I have also a way to extend the Applications menu in the stock, so you can launch anything from stock navi.exe...

Just need to make the AVIC-APPS folder look like the others, and then the key is to edit \AVIC-APPS\Applist.dat.. I just copied and extended the existing sections in there with hex-editor, carefully replacing name and path...

pionara thank you so much for those directions, everything works perfect. How would I go about adding other applications (such as miopocket), I've been trying for a long time and cannot get it to work

i got iGO 8.3.4.142975 installed but i cant pick any other country than hungary do i need to download some maps for the us. im using u310bt

yes, you will need maps and pois for your region.

Pionara,

I've now got 2 additional apps running from the stock navi "Applications" screen with appropriate icons - Explorer and iGO8 and everything is working fine until the unit goes into suspense (when I switch the car off). Before I replaced appslib.dll with the hacked one it would resume exactly where it was when it went into suspense when I restart the car.

However, now, as soon as it resumes it does a warm boot back to the stock navi even when I have been running one of the stock apps like Visual Clock (no mortscript in the middle).

Does your U310BT do the same ? Any ideas ?
