I'm going to backup the NOR and SD card later from my 8000-NEX (v1.11). Would this be useful to upload anywhere?
Also, any progress on re-enabling WARP?
Lastly, if you install a custom launcher, can you re-launch the NEX launcher/apps? (It sounds like somebody needs to get a USB wifi dongle working though for Google Maps, unless you use the later versions that support offline maps?)

My own backups repository does not contain 8000NEX image, so at least I want this 
P.S. Don't click on Copy Device menu item.

No progress at all, we need someone with pioneer head unit on the table (preferably with UART converter connected to device's yellow connector) who can do a lot of tests.
Thanks.
Maybe with the new 2016 NEX units being released it will drop the prices of the older NEX units so they could be used for testing. I'd love to run some tests on my AVIC-8000NEX but it's installed in my car and much too difficult to remove and perform tests, etc.
I did look on eBay for some older AVIC-4000NEX units but they still seem to costs several hundred dollars which is too expensive for a test/bench unit.

I'm experiencing exactly the same problem
Btw, new (unused) Russian version of Pioneer AVIC-F960BT costs now about $385 due to the low rate of national currency

You can unbrick your catch-snapshot-bricked unit using UART bootloader console for 30 seconds.
I'm trying to an create an image of the internal memory card (using the copy script and DD), but I got a read error:
/dev/block/mmcblk0: read error: I/O error
Is this normal? I think I can retry and ignore read errors using conv=noerror, but I'm not sure.
Hello, my avic 5000nex is not working. Trying to install new maps I chose the option copy device and now when I turn it on a software error message appears. I wrote the image of my unit to an SD card. I have no idea what else should I do to recover the system? Thanks for any help

Never click on copy device! You can read our discussion here in topic with ml_homeboy about restoring device from this state.

You get this error at the end or the beginning of copy process? It's OK if this occurred at the end of device backup and you have 4/8/16 GB image file.

Could you provide testmode_n keys files?
Hi All,
I've installed a new set of maps and licence using the USB-Avic script - all has gone well except that I now get an error message "Out of Memory" when iGo launches. Please see screen shot attached.... 
any help, guidance or assistance would be very much appreciated...

Please delete all your licenses in device and add only really needed licenses. If this isn't help you, then try to copy licenses one by one to check which license leads this out of memory error. Also try to start copying (one by one) from base pioneer maps license from your original license pack from device.
Thanks WhatIsWhatIsWhatIsWhat ... I'll try your suggestion and let you know how it goes.

can I replace the contents of the internal card with an external card with image written in it? So not having to disassemble the equipment. In that case what steps should I follow? Thanks

Yes. But sometimes users still need to disassemble unit and write backup image directly into internal sd card.
To restore your device without dismounting:
1) write backup image (using win32diskimager, dd command in *nix or something like this) into usb/sd flash of corresponding size.
2) use testmode_n.key type "copy device" written to FAT32-formatted USB stick (without additional partitions) to enter EasyRecovery mode.
3) execute Copy Device mode.
To restore your device with dismounting and extracting internal sd card:
1) use testmode_n.key type "mode change". Just after mode change please power off your device and don't power it on until you remove sd card. This removes password lock from internal sd card. Once you powered on your device, sd card will be locked again.
2) insert internal sd card into your desktop/laptop/cardreader.
3) write backup image directly into internal sd card.
Please make sure that you do not simply copy *.img file into sd card. You need to use special software (win32diskimager, dd, or other) to write image.

What are you doing? Step by step?

I generated the files (with jenkins project) and extracted in a USB stick.
All that you need - testmode_n.key. Jenkins project does not provide this key.

Thanks a lot, so where can I get this key?
This don't belong here. Someone needs to start a maps thread, a mod needs to prune this one, and link it to the first post. I subscribe to this thread to find out the latest in development, not to find out the status of maps in various people's units, yo.
Somebody wants to create and maintain a new topic with description of map updates, map update help and so on?
