How do i manually update from that screen without powering off? None of the buttons seem to do anything on that screen

I don't understand why you are adverse to cycling the power. Nothing bad will happen even with the ShortFuse script SD inserted. However the screen will open if you press and hold the eject button for about 5 seconds. Then you can remove the ShortFuse SD. Then turn the ignition off.

You can continue to use your unit as usual. When you are ready to do the update, insert the map update SD. 

I’m not adverse to cycling the power. I did exactly as you say and get to the password screen. Whatever i put in for a password does not work. That’s why i thought i might have done something wrong

It sounds like the hack didn't install. When you ran it,  the first thing it should do is present the message PRESS ANY KEY TO START OR TURN OFF IGNITION TO ABORT. What is supposed to happen is you should press one of the hardware buttons like Vol - or +, or <. >.  If you turn off the ignition then it won't install the hack. At that time, you can't re-run the hack script without rebuilding the SD from the zipped files. TestMode.key is deleted from the SD to prevent accidentally rerunning.

So, it isn't clear to me if you ever got past the above message. If you decide re-try the script, I recommend using a different SD because it saves the original RenewalIFLib.dll files (from PRG0 and PRG1) on the SD. To be 100% safe, you should keep the backed-up files.

However, if it sensed a keypress you should see a message Installation will start in 5 seconds... and then BACKING-UP EXISTING RenewalIFLib.dll FILES. Do you remember seeing such messages? I'm trying to get an idea if the script even ran.

The script ran and said will start in 5 seconds snd finished and said successful.

Well I don't know what to make of it. Looks like you're stuck with whatever version you currently have. You could try manually replacing the files as outlined in post #1.

Thanks for the help RonS

I keep getting an error.

I keep getting an error.

Is it possible your SD has the write lock set (the slide switch on the side)? The error verbiage sounds like the error happens trying to remove a file, and the only file that gets removed in the script is the SD TestMode.KEY file (to prevent accidentally running the script twice).

That was the problem, thank you for all your hard work and help with this

i patched my USER\PRG0\APL\RenewalIFLib.dll file on HU (in accordance with second method) and tried to map update but process freezed on %93 and asking "proper sd" before.

i unzipped shortfusescript.zip to my sd, insert the sd to my HU, and follow the instructions (after "ready to update" notice) i restart the HU (9220), HU was asking "proper sd card" and i inserted other (update sd card) and after a few second HU reasked "proper sd card".

??? 

which part is wrong i m surprised

The shortfuse hack only needs to be installed once. If you start the map update and it accepts the Pioneer password, you are done with the hack. That's all it does. It has no direct relation to the map update failing. Your problem is already addressed in the 2017 F series update thread. Your map update SD probably has missing files because you didn't enter the zip password (from godzilla) using single quotes. 

Hi guys,

Many thank @RonS, your script run perfectly well on my AVIC-F9310BT!

Great job and many thanks for your work!

Have a nice day.

Thanks, worked with F930BT

Hi All! Has anyone have any succes with a F920BT? New to this, have all the files (the ShortFuse and update) but little scardypants.... As I understand no harm will come from trying post #15? No chance on bricking it when I follow it to the letter? Thanks!

Worked Awesome on my AVIC-Z140BH.  Shortfuse and Map update.  System feels MORE responsive than every before.  I don't know if they updated anything else in the update, but it was chuggy before this update and seems to fly with both the route mapping and time seems more accurate than before (it was RANDOM before).

Word of warning.  Make sure your vehicle is running or you KNOW that ACC powers your radio.  I had a pucker moment because I didn't know if ACC was connected to the radio or not when I started the MAP update.

Has anybody tried this on a F320-BT with 2017 map-update (Europe)?? Or can make an educated guess if it will work... Thanks in advance

Hi Guys

i have the F10BT and I took the following steps:

I downloaded the ShortFuse i unzipped the 3 files, saved them on a SD memory card. I ran the testmode to my unit. The Testmode saved to my SD Card the Renewall Files (RenewalIFLib.dl0 and RenewalIFLib.1dl0) and i cange with HxD the 4 values with the 00 50 A0 E3 and saved again to my SD card. I have copied only the two Files to my SD Card. I put my SD Card to my unit back but did not do anything on the unit.

What am I doing wrong? Should I put the other 3 files on the card from ShortFuse?

Please help me!

Thanks

Ready the 3rd paragraph (in red) of post #1. The hack was already installed by the script. You are done. If you use the script, you don't edit the files. Just go ahead and install your map update using PASSWORDPASSWORD for the Pioneer password.

Hi Ron S

I did what you said I ran the script after I put the card with the update which had the Firmware, Update, Cardinfo, Testmode.key, scriptExec.ini, RenewalIFLib.dll folders and when it reached 93% I was told to put the correct SD memory card. May I put in my SD memory card only the Firmware, Update, Cardinfo folders?

Thanks

The hack is installed. The map installation is not part of this thread. Your problem is with the map update files. Discuss that in the F-Series 2017 update thread.

It's OK! I will look at the other thread

I've tried to install the hack, but when putting the sd-card in my F930bt it says:

"caution!

Test mode failed starting!

[tun off acc]"

The sd-card/slot works fine when I put mp3 file's on it.

I have no idea why it failed. Looks like you will have to do the manual method. You don't need to patch/edit your RenewallFlib.dll file. use the one that came in the script zip. Download and extract  Supertestmode. Copy that Testmode.key to your SD and insert in the Avic. Test Mode should start. Go into file maintenance, then delete the existing RenewallFlib.dll files from  both APL folders (\USER\PRG0\APL and \USER\PRG1\APL). Then copy and paste the RenewallFlib.dll I included into both APL directories. Good luck - Testmode is a pain to use for many of us.

Thanks for the reply. Using the 3 files instead of just the one made it happen. Unfortunately my sd card went busted when updating. So I had to abort and remove the file in the Users folder. Now my set is pretty slow. Will buy a new sd card tomorrow and hopefully the update will start up again. 

New sd card en install work great, thanks!!
