So i flashed a f500 i have with the same sd card i used on my f7010  (FX3.1)
now the f500 will not go past the boot screen. My 7010 is working great!!
I can still enter WinCE. (i DID NOT make a backup of the F500..big mistake)

when it boots up after updating, it will not go past the boot screen, unless i press menu.. then i get the menu.
but it will not go past there, if i press the MAP button it goes to the "only use as a aid" warning, and will not go any further.

i have tried re-flashing multiple times all with similar results

does anyone have a working "My Flash Disk" image i can get?
most of the links relating to this topic are dead now... i have done alot of searching
i am DL'ing the "AVIC Problem Solvers Files" torrent, but i think almost all of the files there are for the INdash units
The F500 is a special creature! 

Thanks in advance for the help..
AVIC411 has been a GREAT place for information and assistance. 

ok so after downloading the "Avic Problem Solvers File" i used the 2.0 firmware and got the 500 back up and running...
just as slow as it was originally but it is running again.
Thanks for all the information (posted throughout these forums)

Biggest issues i found with the f500 is the Battery!, I was doing all my flashing at home and didnt have access to a 12v outlet.  after sitting in the cradle for the last 4 years the battery has a short run time. 
i am currently seeding the Helper files (8gig so there is alot of good stuff, many versions)
if anyone wants the link let me know and ill post it up..
once i hit a 2/1 seeding im going to pull it back down, unless requested here.

i am having that exact same problem so if you could send it to me that would be great.
