Hi mate!

You will find everything you need here. Italian language is included in additional TTS zipped file.

So, no one can help me with required “CARDINFO†and “VERINFO†files?

thankz pirrama.

I think you just use the ones already in the zip file for your unit.  No need to change out any files.

If the sd card is not getting recognized, it's sometimes caused by the creation of the sd card.

On a Windows PC, format the 4gb or 8gb sd card FAT32 and manually select the 16K allocation unit size.

Once formatted, unzip the update TO YOUR DESKTOP, not onto the sd card.

Then copy the Firmware folder, the Update folder and the Cardinfo.cif file onto the sd card.

Put the sd card into your unit. THEN turn on the power.  It should recognized the update when it boots.

Putting the sd card into an already powered up unit did not work for me.

Wich files do i have to put into firmware folder

wich in update folder

and where do i get the cardinfo.cif for f930BT

im sorry for the stupid questions but just got different names and none in folders like that or what are like in my avic already

Like I said, you don't have to do any thing like copying files into folders... just put the folders and file from the zip onto your sd card as they are.

I don't know anything about the TTS files as I didn't use them, so you'll have to read the forums to figure that out.

Yes i understand vut nothing happen if i do that..

And hear every onr talking about those folders sooo i dont know

Same here, mate.

My unit does not recognize the update.

I did the formatting and I've tried to use different SD cards.

Stupid piece of the junk just boots up as usual. And if you press "eject" button it shows SD card, so unit sees it but not an update on the card.

Any ideas how to force F840BT to start the update procedure?

I usually don't follow this forum (I'm Z series) but I see you're not getting any help from these people - even though you have helped several others.  

I think there might be something wrong with how your files are arranged on the SD. Some unzip programs do not properly extract all the archived files into their original directories. Also, I recommend extracting everything to a folder on your hard drive, then moving the files to your SD.

What folders and files are in the SD root? Should only be Cardinfo.cif, and folders FIRMWARE and UPDATE. Ignore FIRMWARE for now - it's not needed for this part of  the update.

Inside UPDATE is:

NDATA (folder)

USER (folder)

ALLDATA.HTM

ALLDATA.VER

AUTHINFO.DAT

VERINFO.DAT

Inside NDATA is a hundred or so files named NDATA.nnn (where nnn is a number). It will be different on your release.

Inside USER are two folders: PRG and SYSTEM. Also the file VOLUME.DAT

That's enough for now - if the above files and folders are not arranged like that, you need to extract the ZIP using a different program.

Thanks for the info RonS hope it wil work with this thank you

Thanks RonS,

I will give it a try on a weekend.

Hey Ron's i know your contributions from the Z series update forums and maybe you are not the right guy to ask this question but i saw you online soooo

i desperetaly need the 2015 european update verinfo.dat file for the f20bt unit. and the one they provided (i think from Pionara) in this link is dead: http://s000.tinyupload.com/index.php?file_id=03640351922687174507

maybe you have that file while you were experimenting with different verinfo.dat files? thanks in advance. 

I have never downloaded the EU update, so I don't have that file. However VERINFO.DAT is the same for the US one. So why not d/l the US/CAN 2015 image and use that one? The hacked version is already there in the zip. In fact, the file actually originated in the EU F series thread.


2015 US/CAN

UPDATE: See post #697

Thank you RonS you really saved me! 

PLS.Can I have the password file

Hi, after reading almot the entire thread, and seaching avic411.com for a long time, I cannot figure out, if these files will work with the F950 DAB. I can see they work for a lot of different units, and my unit model is very close to the mentioned ones. Otherwise if not, what should I look for? 

Thanks alot, and thanks for reading!

RonS,

Okay, finally found some spare time yesterday.

To be 100 percent sure, I went to my local computer store and bought brand new 4GB SD Kingston card.

On my computer I formatted that card to FAT32 with 16KB cluster size.

Then I copied two folders (FIRMWARE, UPDATE) and CARDINFO.cif file directly to freshly formatted SD card.

Inside FIRMWARE folder I have another folder named BT. Inside BT folder – 3 files (bootloader, CK5050P.plf and updater.plf).

Inside UPDATE folder I have two folders (NDATA and USER) plus 4 files (ALLDATA.HTM, ALLDATA.VER, AUTHINFO.DAT and VERINFO.DAT).

Inside NDATA folder – 106 files named NDATA.001 - NDATA.106

Inside USER folder I have 2 folders (PRG and SYSTEM) and 1 file named VOLUME.DAT

And guess what? Nothing! I inserted SD card with the update into SD card slot on my head unit, started the engine (just in case) and my F840BT booted up as usual. Unit sees the card for sure, then I press “eject†button it shows me that SD card is inside.

Honestly, I have no idea what to do next…

PLS.Can I have the password file

Mate,

Would it kill you just to read a couple of pages back?

I, for example, have read the entire tread, from page 1.

In your case, you just need to go one page back and you will find everything you need there (files and password).

Good luck!

RonS,

...

Just wanted to mention that I had problems if I unzipped directly to the sd card.  I only had success if I unzipped to the desktop and then copied to the sd card.

I'm not sure if this is the problem you are having, but I thought I would put that out there.

I think you need to try out some other CARDINFO.CIF files.  Search around these forums and try out several until you get the right one for your head unit.
