I wanted to start a thread of backup files for our stock units and any modified images. If this forum has helped you at all, contribute with your backups as a big thank you!

State full Make/Model of your NEX unit, which firmware version installed at the time of backup, and which files are being uploaded.

Here's my submission:

Pioneer AVIC 6100NEX, firmware version 1.5
NOR Flash and BSP backup: shorturl.at/uLT16

Internal SD card backup: shorturl.at/gBHL2

*Update* Working on getting a new set of files up, these might be corrupt. Standby...

*Update 2* New files uploaded, enjoy!

*Update 3* New Links for google security update.

This may be my saving grace. My unit is stuck in loading mode. If I open and swap the sd card with this file will that work?

Avic5000nex stock internal card files please

Avic5000nex stock internal card files please

i need these also! Mine got wiped.

Hey Pilotgirlie,

Thanks for the links and info. Here's my situation: I bought an AVIC5200 NEX cheap at a store return auction site. Brand new, open box, no wires, etc but sold as is, no returns. Got the unit, put it on the bench to test and I get the  SOFTWARE ERROR screen after the flash screen. Opened it up and found that the internal SD card was missing. My theory is somebody corrupted their own unit during upgrade and rather than opening theirs up to re-flash the card themselves or send it to Pioneer (understandable) they bought another unit, removed the internal card and returned it to the store as DOA. Just a theory.

Anyway I have a couple questions:

1. What size ,type and format is the OEM internal card? I'm think at least 8gig, SDHC,Fat32 but I'd like to duplicate the original card as much as possible.

2. Can I take the Internal SD card backup: http://bit.ly/2k5Y6fz you posted and copy it to a new SD card? Extract and then copy the files I assume?

Thanks for the help.

US 5200NEX backup image size is 8 GB. You can buy any decent SD card. Max theoretical SD card read speed used by device is about 25 megabytes per second. No need to format it to fat32 because restoring backup image restores also partitions and filesystems. We have exactly your (5200NEX) backup image.

Anyone got a EU SPH-DA120 image please?

Anyone got a NEX4000 image please my unit is just a paper weight now

8000NEX backup?

Anyone got a EU SPH-DA120 image please?

Bump, here too, 4000nex, but I hear a 4100 works all the same. Either img would be great! Please and thanks!

4100nex Img pleaseee

hi all, joined to be one of the supposed many with this error and the means to fix it. 6000nex just installed worked fine, now i here a buzz inside and software error screen then unit powers down. I tried to download avid.img with downloads then errors saying it can't decompress. I have another 8gb card but nothing to go off of and i am unsure the 6100 img i tried is even going to work. 

I have a 400nex with the dreaded software error screen message. I bought a new 16gb sd card and loaded the 6100 files on it with windisk32. The radio did not boot up. Nothing came on the screen. What did I do wrong or could do differently? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hey guys, awesome idea to have a thread gathering all stock backup images for those who have a bricked AVIC like me!

Would anyone happen to have a stock image from an AVIC-F960DAB (EU) ? I am not sure what NEX model corresponds to this one.

Thanks again for your help!

Hi Guys, 

My internal SD card was fried. Anyone have a working image file for the 4000nex?

Hello guys! My avic f960bt eu5 bricked after trying firmware update to ver. 1.14 from 1.11.

Does anyone have an image file for my device?

I was trying to backup the internal SD card, but without success.

I'll be very thankful if somebody help me.

join the chatroom and the help.   They are the greatest.

Bonee, which chatroom? I am new in this forum. Please advise me.

Do you mean this https://avicsignup.herokuapp.com/

yes

Really need f7010bt

Thanks again

4000NEX as well! But I've read the 4100NEX works on it too thanks guys!

Does anyone have an image for AVIC-8000NEX? Did a firmware update and the unit bricked. Pioneer says "I" did something wrong. Very disappointed in their service team, never purchasing a Pioneer product again. Also, any advice for restoring the image is greatly appreciated.

Following this thread.  Trying to dig up a 4000 image to load onto an SD card.   Anyone know where i can find one?

It would be great when someone can upload NEX5000 Backup....i really need it now
