A quick question regarding navigating to bue tooth setup. Was the firmware upgrade on the SD card or an upgrade that you did from the unit itself?

A quick question regarding navigating to bue tooth setup. Was the firmware upgrade on the SD card or an upgrade that you did from the unit itself?

No clue. I did have the SD card in the unit though, so it could have been on the card.

the firmware is on the sd card (in the firmware folder), but you must initiate the bt fw update from in the phone menu, after you have done the main unit upgrade

fwiw, and for anyone intersted.

I have sucesfully used this update on my Z120.

I started with a Z120 with the CNSD-210FM/UC patch (>130). First, I ran the "RenewalIFLib-AUTO-REPLACER v1.1", did a reboot, then put in the SD card with the CNSD-310FM/UC update using the "CARDINFO from CNSD-210FM" file in place of the included in teh upgrade rar. Eveything worked flawlessly.

Thanks to all you brilliant minds that made this all possible.

again, does anyone know if I can go straight from the Z110 to the Z140 software? or do I have to go to 130 first?

xplosive - you can only try

I have not tried it, but knowing what i know about these series, i dont think it will hurt. With one caveat:

The patched version floating around here is a bit newer, and I'm not sure if it's binary compatible with the earlier version of software. So this means that:

1. use testmode to manually backup your existing, RenewalIFLib.dll. Then deploy the new one floating around here via autoinstaller.

2. If that doesn't work, and the unit doesnt do accept any keycode, then that probably means you need to manually patch your original RenewalIFLib.dll (like in the first thread), and then you can use the autoinstaller script to redeploy that one.

I have asked Condi to see if he can automate that first step in his RenewalIFLib auto replacer script.

again, does anyone know if I can go straight from the Z110 to the Z140 software? or do I have to go to 130 first?

For a "virgin" Z110 or Z120 (or a Z110 w/CNSD-110FM), you should be able to just install the well known ShortFuse hacked files to the Pioneer patch release (1.001 or 2.001), then install any of the upgrades (CNSD-110FM, CNSD-210FM or CNSD-310FM). See those message threads for instructions and the Shortfuse files.

The older Shortfuse hack method overwrote RenewalIFLib.dll with the hacked version (basically same as now) and a patched EUR090APL.VER, which just updates the software version number so the installation will overwrite the existing major version. It is important to get the correct Pioneer update (from Pioneer website or links in the message thread)to match the application version that is currently on your HU, and the correct ShortFuse patched files. All this info has been available here for ages.

Once the hacked files are installed (technically, only RenewalIFLib.dll matters), you should be able to upgrade to any higher firmware version using a 16 char (alpha) password.

Thanks for the BT firmware info. I'll put the SD card back in and give it a try.

thanks for the replies guys. I'll read through the previous upgrade threads and give it a go

I have a x920bt and have tried and tried to get this to work. I've even went and bought some new SD cards thinking mine were bad. Here is where I am. I run the Renewal auto installer. Screen gives message it succeeded and reboots. Once it reboots, it hangs on the Pioneer splash screen and never boots beyond. I've tried to have the map sd in place, but it never detects it. I've ran the Renewal auto installer several times to no avail. I'm now stuck with my x920bt not working at all. What should I try? Testmode manual installation?

Did you use v1.1 of the auto installer, RenewalIFLib-AUTO-REPLACER v1.1?

Did you place the correct RenewalIFLib.dll file on the SD root with RenewalIFLib-AUTO-REPLACER v1.1?

I did use the 1.1 and the RenewalFLib.dll and forgot to mention I tried the new and the old cardinfo files, it still doesn't recognize the sd card nor boots past the Pioneer splash screen

I can get the unit into test mode by the home button with up/down sequences. I guess I'm gonna try to manually install the RenewalFLib.dll and see what happens.

Installed the SD card again, went to BT settings selected "firmware" and upgraded without a hitch. Thanks!

Help

Well, I finally fixed my booting problem. I took the last map update, copied the PRG stuff and pasted in both PRG0 and PRG1. It finally booted after that. Then I just used test mode to copy over the renewal file over to correct spots and rebooted with new map update SD inserted. It started updating!! Thanks so much to everyone on this forum, you guys are very knowledgeble!!!

Hi all, please tell me I can not update my F930BT and install new maps for Russia, it is worth 4.00000 version? Tell me, and then I read translator search Google, and not something that I can not understand. Thanks in advance ...

I think I just bricked my x930bt while trying to update. I backed up my unit first from test mode. I replaced the Renewall files fine using the AutoReplacer with the modded renewall files from post 12. But when I inserted the z140 files, nothing happened and never got pass the boot screen. Tried the cardinfo from post 12 also, but the same result. So I tried to undo everything and restore the backed up files through hackmode. Now I get a "no applicable program" message and cant get back to the hackmode. Help.....

Update: I was able to get it running again. Before I was using Condi's hackmode 2.1 with the auto install, but it wouldn't load up hackmode when it restarted, and just gave me the "no applicable program" error. Used the hackmode 1.3 base and it loaded up from there and was able to restore all the files and get everything running again. I'll give the update another try tomorrow.

im trying to update, when it asks me for the password, the keyboard is greyed out, i cannot enter anything... whats wrong?

I'll add another success story to the list.

Z120BT running the CNSD-210FM (2011 Z130BT software)

On PC(Win7):

1. Loaded the RenewalIFLib-AUTO-REPLACER v1.2 script with the RenewalIFLib file from the first page of this thread on a 2GB FAT32 formated usb drive.

2. Loaded the CNSD-310FM files from the Z140 FIles.rar and CARDINFO.cif file on the first page (replaced the CARDINFO that was included) on a 4GB FAT32 formated SD card.

In Car:

1. Connected USB drive to usb port.

2. Power on unit (ACC power). Unit began to boot and ran the script on the USB drive. (backed up files to USB, delete files, copied new RenewalIFLib to the 2 locations). After the script completed the unit restarted and booted like normal.

3. Inserted SD card and within 5 seconds the unit asked if i wanted to install the update. entered bogus 16 digit password and install commenced. The install took about 20 minutes for the maps plus another 3 for the software. In the end the unit rebooted.

4. Went to the Bluetooth settings and did a firmware upgrade to 3.24. (took about 7 minutes)

That's it! Worked first time like a charm. I read all the comments in this thread to learn from others and figure out what i needed to do. So a big thanks to all that have contributed to this update (files, update procedure/crack and support)

Beyond the update, my main reason for doing this is that i have a Samsung Galaxy Nexus and wanted to avoid having to use my iPod Touch + WiFi tether to play Pandora through my Z120BT with the Pandora interface. It works great! Just a note that you have to go to the audio settings and change that app(mode?) connection from wired to Bluetooth.

Good luck all.

I haven't read every post, but is ther estill talk of pitching in to buy the update? If so im in.

Hey all,

First, thank you all for the hard work! I appreciate all the great stuff this community shares.

I have a z120 upgraded to z130 via the CNSD-210FM upgrade. I ran the v1.2 script to replace the RenewalIFLib file, and it reported that the file was successfully replaced and initiated a reboot. After the reboot, the unit just hangs on the splash screen. I've tried several times to power cycle the unit both with and without an SD in place to no avail. The scripts will run but the unit will never fully boot to normal operation.

My guess is that I need to enter hack mode and replace some files to get things back to where they were, but could really use a little guidance.

Thanks in advance.

Did you have the modded renewallflib file on the card when you ran Condi's script?

Did you have the modded renewallflib file on the card when you ran Condi's script?

Yes I did. Would a corrupt or incorrect version of that file prevent rebooting properly?

I have sucesfully used this update on my Z110

thanks guys!
