    Default The Chinese GPS Firmware Thread

    Having owned a few varieties of these no-name chinese made gps units and having messed about with them a lot, i have bricked and semi bricked a few but i have always managed to bring them back to factory state with a firmware flash.

    Are you stuck on the welcome screen? cant go further? hope is here!! Here's some firmware files to help un-brick your unit (or upgrade it!).

    NOTE: THESE ARE WINCE 6 IMAGES

    How to upgrade - restore your firmware

    Download your required file

    Extract it (unrar - unzip)

    Copy files (not folder) onto your sd/tf card

    Hard reset the device

    Let it do its thing......with the PA-84 units you will be prompted (IN CHINESE) during the flashing, click the left button ie: the yes button and let it upgrade the menu.

    And dont panic while the pictures and indeed the menu show chinese writing it can be changed in settings.

    The rom itself is in chinese and cannot be changed if you want the office add ons and NES emulator etc to work, however if you do require the english OS meaning wince 6 i can post a link but be aware while the unit will still function some of the extras like above will not.

    With the YF GPS units the rar file will usually contain the following

    YFUpdate.exe (UPDATE UTILITY)
    yfospa06.img (OS - WINCE)
    YFAPP.WZP (DEVICE MENU)

    if your download contains

    BootPI06.bld or
    YFBtPI06.bld


    DELETE THEM!! THEY ARE BOOT LOADER FILES!!!

    putting those two files along with the others can and will permanently brick your device if they are the wrong type for your unit.

    if you just want to update the menu put

    YFUpdate.exe
    YFAPP.WZP

    on your card and update the menu

    if your stuck on the welcome screen a full flash is required and thus put yfospa06.img with the other two files.

    OK OK so yes I did leave these files on my sat nav...and yes I am an idiot..so I guess this is why it is not reading the SD card and not booting into anything anymore. I have tried everything, different .bld files, different eboot files, nuthin works, even stabbed it inside after losing my temper with it, so just to warn everybody..take note of what ppl tell you sometimes and it wont all end in tears (or knackered sat navs), maybe I can use it as a coaster from now on.
    On another note, anyone found out why my MYguide 3100 still stuck on load screen, it updates using the nk.bin, tinynk.bin, chain.bin and driver.bin files, havent found any that work yet. please let me know as it is quite a good unit and its the only one i have left, maybe another trip to ebay for a jap sat nav LOL.

    heres another link to 82AV6 Firmware...this is firmware only!!!! use it only if you unit is already stuck on welcome screen.



    the menu is a different download for your model so i have posted 2 links above for 82A menus which are compatible (i am led to believe) with 82AV6.

    3 things

    1/ that is ONLY FIRMWARE.....NO OS.. NO MENU!!
    2/ password will be posted when its emailed to me i didn't know it had one.
    3/ 82A and 82AV6 use the same menu files.

    If your units working id leave it alone but if you must mess around with it (i did) use 82A menu.
