Hello. Yes yes. Topic back from the dead. I have spent maybe 4 hours on this site now, after my AVH-4200NEX got the dreaded black "Software Error" Screen.

Learned about the development mod/backup, clicked through all 43 pages,  found the mega download thread with all the european version images (F60,F70,F77,F80),  joined the AVIC Hacking Slack chat, and even found a thread on Reddit on how to disassemble an AppRadio4.

My error first happened two weeks ago with my new Iphone8+ plugged in with Apple Maps running and I was choosing a song in Spotify. (BTW Android Auto is far superior to Apple Carplay in every way imaginable.) After I would leave the car parked over night, and only if I used bluetooth stream touching a few buttons as possible, the unit would work. If I even changed the volume,  the unit would restart and crash. Its last crash which its stuck on now, is a top40 radio station stuck on full volume. I have it on my dining room table now with the probably corrupt Transcend SD card out.  

Does anyone on here have the backup image for my AVH-4200NEX?

I just bought an AVH-4200NEX.  I'm looking into backing up the BSP, Nor Flash, and SD Card.  I'll let you know how it goes.

Thanks. I actually ended up buying the backup from the ebay seller "vehiclegpsfixing" for $59.99. Upon swapping it into my 4200NEX, it would show the NEX boot loading screen, and then only show the Software Error screen briefly before shutting down. I reached out to the Ebay seller, and got the below message. 

"I have been selling these cards for model X000, X100 and X200 for almost three years and have only had two people not fix the issue.I advised them to ship their radios to me and I was able to fix for them.
In some instances it happens that the radio has its NOR flash BSP settings messed up and have to be reset using PUTTY and radio connected on a computer using WRAT cable.
The BSP settings have to look like what is shown on the picture I have attached when they are in default,I suspect on your radio they are not like that"

I live in Seattle and I see this guy lives in Spokane which is about 5 hrs away. He has a 6200 seller rating on Ebay but I am hesitant. I called Pioneer and they sent me to MOUNTAIN WEST ELECTRONICS in Utah. I called them and they said they repair the 4200NEX for a flat fee of $85.00 + parts.

****Warning******   Do not buy from ebay seller "vehiclegpsfixing"  is a rip off.

I'm having trouble getting into Test Mode.  Not sure if I'm going to be able to get the files.  I'll keep working on it.

What firmware???

I have 1.06.

I tried a few testmode files from this site, and none of them worked.  I also tried the developer debug mode, but the password didn't work.  Also, that jenkins.adamoutler.com site doesn't seem to be working, unless I'm missing something.

I'm now looking into how to use CMD42, but that might not work either; they probably changed the password for the SD Card also.

I’m also needing the 4200nex image file, stuck in a boot loop... thanks in advance.

I bought a 4200 nex for my friend and now after 8 months it just started a continuous boot loop.  I took the sd card out of it, but cant get my computer to read it. If anyone has a copy of the software for the 4200nex and would share it with me, I would be very grateful. 

Can someone please share the files for 4200nex I'm wiling to pay for them. Thanks

Hello Group,

I have a pioneer avh4200nex and I updated the firmware on my unit recently and after 2 weeks the deck failed on me.

I'm getting a Software error message now black screen with white writing, after some research I found that the SD Card is corrupt.

Is it possible to get a the firmware for this deck? can I load it on an new SD Card?

ANY HELP would be appreciated!!!

Thanx in advance.

Appears the 4200 unit is the most elusive SD img to find. 
anyone have luck? I'm scoring the nets with no luck. Or, an img that would work with the 4200, I'm not 100% sure what the European model is.

Trying to help someone fix their error screen, I did my 4400 but they have a 4200.
