it may be throttled by google for too many users downloading at once.

you can try later, or maybe look for a torrent, but if you do (or get it anywhere else), make sure the MD5 hash matches this:

 

MD5 (Z140 Files.rar) = 5cc2178368e7e118d5d4fb1e48db0a1c

Otherwise it might have been tampered (viruses anyone?)

Thanks, I'll check this, how big is that file supposed to be approximately ? What's the name of the file, isn't naveq 2012 maps ?

 

Also, In my RenewalIFLib.dll file, in 1C30 address, I don't have 05 00 A0 E1 at all. I search from that pattern through the file and I have around 10 matches...:(

 

Please find my RenewalIFLib.dll file here, http://www.2shared.com/file/QThoC_T2/RenewalIFLib.html

thanks. so for version 2.003 of RenewalIFLib.dll, the droids you are looking for are at 1ccc offset.

Hello you all!

 

I have a avic-f930bt

Can I upgrade this one in the same way to the avic-f940bt? (I believe f940bt stands for the European version?)

Had anyone already upgraded the same unit?

 

If yes:

 

Will it only get the firmware upgrade or also the new maps?

 

I first want to make a backup of the stock unit. I only have started the condi's hackmode v2.2 once and made it to the windows desktop.

I will be able to backup from within the windows desktop, started by the hackmode.

But am I right, that the hackmode has changed/copied some files to my unit already? which files are those and will I still be able to restore the stock files? In other words, can I still return to complete stock?

 

If I mess up things,do I only have to copy all files back to the unit (with hackmode and windows desktop) and reboot the unit?

 

Tnx for your replies!

That worked !!! thanks ! The first post in this topic should be edited with this info :) Now I'm running 4.0 and it seems to be soooooo much better. Especially the way to find road and cities and stuff :)

I can't get the update to work. I successfully did the RenewallFLib.dll part; but when I insert the update card, the unit loads up normally and starts to play the media files on the card. I've checked the md5sum and it all matches up. I've tried both cardinfo, still not working.

tiwonggg, what model do you have and what version of software is it running

Posted Oct 27, 2012 · 02:05 UTC#85

X930bt

Platform Version: 3.000

Application Version: 3.001

Version: 03.0000

Posted Oct 27, 2012 · 06:28 UTC#86

I have same exact setup and had no problems. The one that came with the update worked fine for me.

You may want to try to reformat and recopy to sd. Not sure what to tell you.

You have CARDINFO.CIF on the root of the sd card?

Posted Oct 27, 2012 · 07:56 UTC#87

Is everything suppose to be on the root of the sd card? I just extracted the .rar file as it is in to the sd card. So I just have "Z140 Files" folder on root and in that folder is the 'FIRMWARE' folder, 'Update' Folder, and the 'CARDINFO.cif'.

bnwgraaf,

no this is the US/CAN version. No one has shared the EU version of this yet. If they do the method would be the same, but you cannot use the US update on the EU versions.

 

tiwonggg,

you must put the contents of the Z140 folder not the folder itself on the root of the SD card.

Thanks pionara, I'm such an idiot. Don't know how I missed that after all the numerous times I read the instructions.

 

I'm getting "An error occurred and the update failed." message at 15%.

Posted Oct 28, 2012 · 05:41 UTC#90

means the update files on the sd card dont match their checksums. Try:

1. re-unraring the update files directly to SD card (use 7-zip, winrar, etc)

2. try different sd card

Does it works with de F930BT ?

Posted Oct 28, 2012 · 21:15 UTC#92

I'm going to attempt to do this. Just wondering if there are any photos to guide in the process of getting the correct files?

Posted Oct 30, 2012 · 09:17 UTC#93

Great write up worked like a charm, was having difficulty with the auto replacer didn't work/instructions weren't sufficient so I had to do it manually with test mode.

Hi guys,

 

I am new to the community but there is a lot of great stuff on this site. I tried upgrading my Pioneer AVIC-X930BT US model navigation system @ 3.00.00 firmware and it has not gone well. Currently my system is only booting to the Pioneer home screen and music off of my CD is playing but it will not load to the GPS. Unfortunately I did not back up my files before attempting this upgrade.

 

First, I was wondering if anyone has a back up of the User files for this system that they can possibly upload or direct me to a link whereby I can download the files and get my system running again. Also if I am able to get my hands on a back up copy, how do I go about loading the back up files to my system to bring it back to a working state - wish I had a option to select restore to factory settings but since my system is not allowing me into the unit and it is stuck on the home page I guess that is out of the question.

 

When trying to do this upgrade, I downloaded Condi's RenewallFLip-AutoReplacer 2.1 program and loaded it to the root of a Kingston 8 GB Micro SD card along with an edited RenewallFLib.dll that was posted on the forum. When I put the memory card into the unit it loaded up successfully and a back up file was written to the SD card and the testmode key was deleted.

 

I then had another Kingston 8GB card whereby I loaded Z140 firmware update to however when I tried extracting to the SD card directly using Winrar it encountered problems. As a result, I extracted the files to the hard drive of my computer directly with no issue. I reformatted the SD card with FAT32. I copied each file individually from the update - CardINFO, a Firmware folder, and an Update folder - on to the memory card without any errors or issue.

 

After the RenewallFLip-AutoReplacer 2.1 program successfully did its thing the system reboot after 5 seconds and the Pioneer screen reloaded and then music from my CD started playing but the unit will not load past the home page. I turned the engine off and placed the other Micro SD card with the Z140 firmware update and then started up the car again but the Pioneer screen came back on and the music began playing again but the unti did not begin updating.

 

I repeated the above mentioned steps again but this time I loaded an older version of the CardINFO onto the memory card but I had no success.

 

If anyone can help me get this unit up and running that will be greatly appreciated because I'm starting to panic a bit or if someone lives in the Toronto, Ontario region and wants to help me perform the upgrade I will bring the beer lol. Really I would like to get the unit in a working state again.

 

If someone has a back up of the files for a unit that they are willing to share and can tell me how to load those files back to they system so I can get everything working again that would be greatly appreciated. It would be even better if someone can tell me what I am doing wrong and what I need to do to get the update working that would be even better.

 

On a side not I have purchased four 8GB Kingston Micro SD cards and tried the above mentioned process on a few occassions and I have downloaded the Z140 firmware update twice.

 

I look forward to hearing back from people with their input and advice. Thanks.

ricktnt, from reading your post it sounds like your issue started after using Condi's RenewallFLib-AutoReplacer 2.1, and you did not even get to the pioneer update part?

I dont think this is a problem with the actual pioneer update - would suggest discussing in the Condi's RenewallFLip-AutoReplacer 2.1 forum

Posted Oct 30, 2012 · 16:11 UTC#96

Thanks for the response pionara. Will definitely start up a discussion in the Condi's RenewallFLip-AutoReplacer 2.1 forum. Before I do so, I just wanted to get some opinions on the next steps that I should take. I was wondering if I should attempt manually replacing the edited RenewallFLib.dll in test mode to see if that makes a difference or do you think it is wise to attempt reloading the original files to the AVIC unit providing I get my hands on the back up files

Posted Oct 30, 2012 · 16:27 UTC#97

i looked at condi's autoreplacer script - i dont see what could cause your issue, unless you used a renewaliflib.dll from a completely different version than what is running on your system.

 

The question is - which renewaliflib.dll did you get? Was it from 3.x version?

 

as far as restoring: If you look on the sdcard you used, the replacer script shoudl have made a backup of your dlls. You can use the same replacer script to reinstate the original dlls.

 

Try it. If that works, then you will want to manually hex edit those using the method i outlined in my post (not this thread, and after saving a backup copy of the originals), and deploy to unit using autoreplacer script.

You know what pionara I have been reading so many posts under different topics that I am not sure which thread I downloaded the renewaliflib.dll from. Do you think this may be causing my issue. Want to know where I can find the proper renewaliflib.dll for a 3.x version because I am scared that I have compromised the integrity of my original renewaliflib.dll by replacing it with one that is not intended for the 3.x version

Posted Oct 30, 2012 · 17:16 UTC#99

the autoreplacer script should have made a backup of your original dlls:

SD\RenewalIFLib_prg0_bckp.dll

SD\RenewalIFLib_prg1_bckp.dll

 

Do you have those files on the SD card? If so, what are the date and sizes of them? If there is only one, then:

- put a copy of it somewhere safe

- copy it to RenewalIFLib.dll on the sd card

- use the autoreplacer to redeploy that back to the unit

 

Let us know if that fixed it.
