I need your help!

How can I re-run the script or better the udate of maps?

I used the shortfusecript and then updated the maps and it went perfectly fine on F930BT.

it stated to be 7.0 and bluetooth 3.3.2

Then I tried to remove the Nag screen and made a mistake the supertestmode so I needed to replace some files from prg1 in prg0.

But everything worked after thisd

Nevertheless I want to re-run the update to make sure I have the new functions but: 

I run shortfuse script successfully but on next start of HU  it did not go into update mode (as it did before) but startes normally.

I ran shortfuse script multiple times from fresh copy (I am aware the the testmode exe is removed every time).

I fear there is a hidden file or flag which prevents the update to start again -. found a post about a file in a downfolder or  a log file but I could not find it.

So in a nutshell:

How can I rerun the shortfuse script so radio goes into update mode after restart when the SD with update is in?

Is there another way to enforce the update on a second run?

Thanks for reading and reacting

I hate to get involved with this mess. I'm sure I'll regret it.

Don't "replace some files from prg1 in prg0". Those are different, and possibly incompatible versions.

What exactly did you do? It might be easier to fix if you explained what files you corrupted.

I don't know how to force installing the same version onto itself. But there may be easier ways to fix this once you say what you did.

Also, it would help to know whether after installing v7.0, if USER/PRG.FLG exists. It might be possible to temporarily set the system back to the previous version then re-install v7.

I feel bad... thank you for looking into this. 

I copied over the new no nag navi.exe but I think at this moment everything was selected, so what happened is that one file was pasted in but then-  with no chance to stop it - it start to delete everything else. So I needed to copy everything from prg1 or its app subfolder to the instance Prg0.

Lessions learned ... and I am happy that it still works at all!

So there is a risk that I have overwritten the update, at least I do not see the new functions( like the AHA configuration in the settings or the search box in the last cities) and I would like to reapply the update but it does not let me.

With regard to your question:

Yes, I have a prg.flg file but it sits in the root= user\ (not in the prg folders)

I think I followed most of that. But I'm not sure what files you think were deleted or why. Were you doing a Delete or a Paste? Did you intentionally copy from one PRG directory to the other? If so, you just made things worse. You can't accidentally overwrite files with testmode.

What do you mean "I have a prg.flg file but it sits in the root= user\ (not in the prg folders)". If PRG.FLG is present, it would be in \USER along with the PRG0 and PRG1 folders. Than may be what you were saying.

OK, here's the first rule of hacking - have a backup. So I recommend getting a 16GB (8GB might work), and immediately use TestMode to make a backup copy of everything in USER. That way you can undo anything you try to do to fix this.

I'm still not clear on whether 2017 v7 is in PRG0 or PRG1. That's why the PRG.FLG is important.  If you were following the No Nag instructions, you should already know which was the "active" directory. Which was it? 

Back to the original suspected problem. You should of been copying NAVI.EXE (the no nag one) from SD to the active program directory (PRG0\APL or PRG1\APL). To do this, you need to delete the existing NAVI.EXE before "pasting" the new one. Testmode will not overwrite an existing file. So it it was the Paste operation you think started overwriting or deleting files - it didn't. It can't.

On the other hand, if you selected all the files (instead of NAVI.EXE) to DELETE, then you would have a big problem. But then your unit would be dead. Actually, I'm not convinced that anything is wrong. If you deleted anything important, you'd have very big problems even using the head unit.

If you really think there are corrupted files in the Active APL directory, you can just copy them from the 2017 update SD (UPDATE\USER\PRG\APL). Remember you need to delete the existing files first. Also, a file overwritten by the old one will have an old date/timestamp. Nearly all the APL files are from 2017. There are a few older DLL files that are just utility libraries that have not updated.

DON'T DO ANYTHING DESTRUCTIVE WITHOUT A BACKUP!!!

Hello there,

Does it works with F960BT with shortfuse and maps 2017?

Thanks so much!

Hello,

I've run scipt on my f9220bt, then i tried to update my radio using update from post #101 (2017 Europe Map Update for Pioneer AVIC-F920BT, 9220BT,940BT, 40BT,20BT). Every time i have the same effect, at 93% i got information about wrong sd card. I've tried 3 cards and nothing changed. Actually i have 2015 maps and i restored original RenewalIFLib.dll files. I've also tied to install this update without replacing these dll's but then must provide pass ... Anybody heard about 2017 update like 2015 (without having any changes in radio fioles directly) ?

Hi,

Finally done. This time i used files from Godzilla (thx) and update finished without problems. I don't know anybody install update from other links, in my case it did not work...

Hi guys,

I bought recently a car with this sat nav. (f930bt) Today I found this forum and this thread and I tried to update mine. I got 3.00000 version. Already updated the BT.

I follow the rules and first of all I used the shortfuse script to updates the 2 files in automatic. Thank I use the same microSD to update the maps (Godzilla files without any mod, just extract and put 2 folders and 1 file). Put the password, after reboot it is blocked says :" Incorrect SD card, Please insert the correct one"  PANIC,

I read other post and thank you to superuser files I delete the files in xxxx/download. Now it is back to works but I found always the same error. Tried different times with different micro SD. They are from 8 to 16gb in FAT32.

What I can do?

I found on this forum also version 2013 and 2015.  Using shorfuse 2013 goes without problem. For 2015 I user cardinfo.cif from 2017 version and goes well. I will try 2017 again

So, finally I installed the 2017 version together with BT fw 3.32. 

Here is the procedure that I follow starting from version 3.0000: 

1) hackfuse

2) install map update 2013  (ask password: PASSWORDPASSWORD)

3) hackfuse

4) install map update 2015 (NO PASSWORD ASKED) 

5) hackfuse

6)install map update 2017  (ask password: PASSWORDPASSWORD)

7) update BT fw from 3.22 to 3.32

I have Avic-F930bt

   Be careful

Files here:   http://avic411.com/index.php?/topic/83505-new-release-f20bt-f30bt-f40bt-f920bt-f930bt-f840bt-etc-2017-release/?p=345456

 are corrupted and cause stop the actualization at 93%. This is T1000-25815 for AVIC F20BT-F920BT- etc.

Do not try to actualize with godzilla files at the beguining if your model is not suitable for T1000-25817.

I did actualize my F920BT with T1000-25817, which was accepted and finished without error, but it caused GPS not to work. Everything was fine except GPS, that showed good signal on settings, but maps where not working. Also the system could not be downgraded to 2015 maps or older. I had to replace an old copy of the system to recover the right function, back to 2015 maps.

   ¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡ Be careful !!!!

Can somebody give a good link for T1000-25815 release ????

Thanks to everybody.

Worked on F940BT !

1. Fusescript install from SD

2. Update install form SD

THX

Hello again:

  The reason why the process stops at 93% is because there are four files missiing in Update folder.

There should be 114 Ndata files and the last one in the package downloaded from the link supplied in this forum is Ndata 110. So files Ndata111 to Ndata114 are missing.

This could be seen inside de contents of file ALLDATA.VER if you open it.

  Can anyone that has a complete copy of T1000-25815 update provide those files?

  Thank you.

How to bypass Wrong SD stop at 93% of loading

 As I wrote before this is caused by four files missing in folder NDATA.

The simple solution is to copy the last four files Ndata.106 to Ndata.110 and rename the copied files as Ndata.111 to Ndata.114 respectively, so yo have the quantity of files complete untill Ndata.114.

With the NDATA folder containing the total 114 ammount of files the process do not stop at 93% with the error message, and finish and reboots showing 2017 release.

The only thing is to whish that those 4 repited files will no affect the maps of your country, or the country you visit whiyh your car.

  It is worrking flawlessly on my Avic-F920BT unit.

Nevertheless if someone have those four files from an original copy, they will be wellcome.

  Good Luck.

Thanks so much!

Thank you  Godzilla and Seth_Space 

Hello,

Thanks for the files.

I have just updated my system (F8430BT) with these data, but now unfortunately, the steering wheel buttons, the USB port, and the button illumination does not work.

Do you have any idea, how to bring them back?

Thanks in advance,

Daniel

Thank you Godzilla and RonS,

just finnished updating my F920BT to the 2017 map version!

1 I used the shortfuse hack (patched the altered renewallFlib.dll in Prg1)
2 next I booted with the 2017 update on SD card and when prompted entered the password PASSWORDPASSWORD.

Like a glove!

Unfortunately the bluetooth update did not fix my limp BT.
It still reads --------------- under BT version. As if there is nothing there to update from.
Do any of you know what files need to go in which folders using testmode.key?
If at all possible..

Thanx again to the Headunit Grandmasters!

You don't need testmode. The BT firmware for this release is on the SD in the \Firmware directory. 

You didn't give any detail on what you did and what went wrong doing the BT update through BT settings.

You are right RonS,

no need for Testmode to update the BT. 

After the maps update I tried the 'Firmware update' button under the 'Bluetooth Settings' (once it became active) as per instructions.
All to no avail, after a good 10 minutes of trying to start the update process a message is displayed in the lines af "an error occured and the update failed".

So I am curious to hear about any other method of 'jumpstarting' the BT, perhaps by copying/pasting files directely in their respective folders using Testmode.

It might help to know what the content of the BT-folder should look like using Testmode.

I schould mention that the BT-module test using Testmode fails. So obviously there is something dodgy going on in there...

Reading your other post, it seems you were saying your BT was not functional even before installing the new maps/BT. These BT modules have been known to fail. I remember seeing some for sale recently but I don't remember where. You can do a Forced Program Write of the BT firmware. I suspect the actual drivers are stored in some other file system not directly accessible via Testmode file maintenance.

See if you can find a Service Manual for your unit. I have one for a Z110 which also is a manual for TestMode. There are several diagnostics for testing the BT module. Here's the Z110-BT Service Manual

Update installed flawlessly on my F9220BT from Software ver.4 and BT ver 3.21 --> Followed the instructions and now have software ver.7 and BT ver 3.32.

To the people that made this possible (on this Forum) and keep helping others that are not as "tech savy" by answering all kinds of questions/doubts, my sincere thanks!!

Cheers

RonS,

Thank you for the reply. Will give the forced program write a go. Can I do this with the Firmware folder from the 2017 update files or will it just accept the BT folder on SD?

I don't know. I assume it would work with any SD with the FIRMWARE folder in root.
