^{Sorry, can't help!  This has to be the most ass tight sites I have ever been on.  Out of the almost 100 downloads, only a couple thank yous and nothing more.  While I do have several different models and even a X950 model, I will no longer help ingrates!} 

Sorry to see that, I understand. I've been in the same boat on many sites.

I was one of the several who chipped in to buy the 2013 update and upload and it was amazing how little appreciation was shown. Not to say it wasn't, but by a significant minority.

Long read on this one, but looks like a lot of hard work by several...

 

Unfortunately I just tried the latest link for the Z110 and it appears to be down. Any one able to put back up? It would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks.

Download the file pack for the newer ones, Click on this link LINK and download the old CARDINFO.cif file and replace the one in the original download with the one from the second download and you will be good to go. Just worked for a Z110 I bought on the cheap. 

This .zip file has the modified Navi.exe with the OK nag removal and is ONLY for the 2015 update. The zip also includes testmode.key.

So no trouble? I had read that RonS said the early release had more files included... Or is this later model upload constructed from the earlier and patched? That would make sense, it would have all the files.

I'll give it a go.

Thanks

I have never seen such a large group of ingrates in my life.  It's no wonder the site is pretty much dead!  A bunch of freeloaders if you ask me!

There are those at any site, but the main reason I continue with most sites is for the few that you know appreciate what you have contributed and for the knowledge learned. It's pretty much like the whole rest of the world, but you have to keep going and can't let it get you down.

I know it sounds like I am the perpetual optimist, but far from that. I am the guy that always expects the worst and sometimes you're pleasantly surprised here and there when it turns out otherwise.

Ok, that all aside, I do want to thank you as I think I've figured out that all of the versions apparently were built off of your first donation. I was able to download the "newer" version and put back the proper cardinfo file for the "older" version.

Your suggestion worked just fine, installed with no issues. Thank you. Also thanks for the nag fix file, I will be installing that tomorrow if I get time.

Also thanks to Pionara, RonS, and the many others who worked on this project.

Now hopefully after I disconnect power it will recognize my iPhone again. Right now it just comes up and nothing can connect to it. Seems the power disconnect fixed many peoples problems. Crossing my fingers....

On a side note, since some were having trouble, I used 8gb micro SD cards w/ adapter for almost every update and/or moding on this thing. They are not the "high speed" variety and I format with windows "default" allocation size option.

Just a point of clarification. The reason we have two complete sets of files was because the original Z120/x920 upgrade posted by kellinaradway didn't seem to work on the Z130/Z140 even with modified CardInfo.CIF files. It worked fine for Z110/Z120/x920.

Then BlakeStone posted a link in the X series forum that was for the newer units. AFAIK, this version wasn't just a hacked version of the Z120 image. It even had a different internal product number. Z120 = T1000-23346 ; Z140 = T1000-23348. This is found in /UPDATE/ALLDATA.HTM

I used a perl script that pionara posted to verify each version's files using it's manifest file (ALLDATA.VER), which contains the files to be installed and their CRC values. Between the two versions there were quite a few differences in the file list in the NDATA directory. So it appeared that the two different versions used different map files for some unknown reason. Oddly, all the same NDATA files are present in both versions. It was just a difference in the manifest list.

It's good to know that the newer version works on older models when the correct CardInfo file is used.

Thanks for the clarification Ron. I saw where you had pointed out the difference in the NDATA files, but did not realize that they were all present on both. It was a little cloudy as to exactly what happened, well it could be me loosing some details while reading all nine pages of the thread...

Thank you for the work to get this going.

Thank you for the work to get this going.

BTW, I didn't get this started - just pitching in to help sort it out.

Ok, as a wrap up I disconnected the battery and iPhone (6s), now works as it did before. So the battery thing does work, thanks to all who suggested it.

Also the Navi.exe that MPTonyT posted up works just fine for anyone with questions of it's functionality. Thanks MPTony!

No problem. I try to help where I can as others do for us.

I just did the update this morning, my Z120 now running on firmware 6.0 !!

The only tricky part was to use the good CARDINFO.cif   ( I've use the same from my 2013 update ! ) copy/paste !
After the update, I also notice that I've lost bluetooth signal --> UNPLUG YOUR BATTERY AFTER UPDATE !

!!!  I would like to thanks everyone on this thread ( especially RonS     )

Looks like the link for the Z110/120 download is now stale. Does anyone have an updated link?

The links are dead, Please update. Does anyone know of another link?

Update: to make it easier for those not skilled with text editing, I have attached the file as a TXT file. Just download it, rename it to CardInfo,CIF, and replace the one in the root of your SD.

CARDINFO.txt

So i have the Z110bt updated to 140 software. Attempted the method as per Ron above ^. downloaded the 2015 maps and replaced card info. Update started to work and at around 2 % says  invalid SD card and had the blank screen. AS I am typing this message as i Was trying it again.... and now its seems to be working. I just copied and pasted the same info above from ron again and i think its installing now.... Weird...... im at 25% now fingers crossed

Thank you all

Where can I donate?

UPDATE:  update was successful on my z110. However,  i am also experiencing the IPOD issues. For me the HU will play the music from the ipod but the HU screen is a black screen. As if i was playing videos from my ipod. Cant change it, and the headunit will not skip/change songs, has to be done manually from the ipod. I also will have to revert back to 2013 update. Just downloading it now

Confirmed, disconnected car battery and all weirdness is gone and updated to 6.0. iPod fully functional, Thanks everyone this site has come through as always

If someone can forward a link to donate if there is any I'd be more than happy to donate my CAD dollars lol

If you get any weirdness after an upgrade - try doing a full reset by disconnecting the car battery for a few minutes. I don't know why (I've got a few suspicions) but this seems to cure many ailments.

Hello RonS, try to download the new map, but the link @#84 is dead, can you help to check?

I have 120bt

thanks

This issue came up in another thread but it is pertinent here. This is for people using the Lightning cable on their Z140.

I looked at the 2015 upgrade instruction manual. There is a section specifically on upgrading Z140 for 5th gen iPhone users using Lightning cables. See Chapter 6. There is an additional patch/update to be installed.  This adds new iPod settings options.

Many thanks, RonS

New to here, and this is the first time to do this.

Download the Z140 file and I have modified the cardinfo.cif follow your direction.

But what the next step? should I

1. Format a SD card in FAT32 type?  I only have a 32G ,is it OK?

2. Copy the firmware folder,update folder  modified CARDINFO.CIF to the root of SD card

3. Insert to the Z120 unit

4. it will automatic update , wait to finish 

is that all I need to do?

if I need to update the bluetooth, is any other file I need to download?

my unit is original Z120 with 2.003 version. toooooo old 

Thanks for help

oh, one more thing, should I need to backup the current one? how?

Many thanks, RonS

That sounds good. Most people with problems are caused by not using a fresh FAT32 formated SD (don't use quick format option on PC), or problems extracting the zip archive.  After you're done - boot and go into Bluetooth settings to update the BT firmware.
