    WIN CE 6 ENGLISH ROM for YF GPS

    I have downloaded the 2 files to change the chinese to english placed them on the root of an SD card but on starting up the unit as shown item 14 the update fails to start and starts as normal.

    Any ideas?

    The start up screen on my unit is blue and says GPS Navigation not the winmill & car.

    Thanks.

    Most of the gps are manufactured by YF International. For those, they are also sold by Elebest GPS out of Singapore. You can download select firmware from their site here:


    Most of the firmware is for 82A and the 480x272 PA06. The PA06HD that Lyra posted is not yet available from here.

    Unfortunately, they won't release the newest firmware if you didn't buy it from them. A lot of people purchased the 6" GPS from dealextreme. Elebest calls it the EB6008B:

    Is your unit 480x272 ? if so you have the correct file.

    The OS should update automatically when the yfupdate and ce image file are put onto sd/tf card and unit rebooted.

    This is the problem the update does not start the unit boots normally to the menu screen.

    I believe it is 480x272.

    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.

    NS
    Well the boot loaders I have are named:
    Btld23C.bld
    u2b32C.bld
    The OS img file is named os32c.img and I have the menu file named YFAPP.wzp , the update .exe file is named : YFUpdate.exe , I put the files in SD's root and then insert it into the GPS, nothing happens, I tried renaming the files but nothing again, any suggestions? I want to throw this GPS unit off of the window xD Two case senarios are present here, either this unit is very hard to crack, or I am to idiot to accomplish this. These files where inside the rar file that NoService posted the link to download.

    Can I upgrade the firmware on this GPS. It has no brand name or other identification. It runs an old version of iGO. Here's a couple of pics.

    Thanks

    Dragdan, there are no needs to rename the files. Remember not to put the 2 boot loader *.bld files as they are nasty. Just copy the 3 files os32c.img, YFAPP.wzp and YFUpdate.exe to SD card, insert the card in then soft reset (Or push the Reset tiny button). You should see the device starts updating the OS first, then the menu.

    @Colas

    My current situation is the same as yours in #130 (firmware 82F on a 420*272 device). Did you manage to reverse the resolution back to 420*272 ?

    @NoService

    I think it may be linked to the bootloader in the link for the 82F firmware, or the size of the LOGO82F.bmp (and that would be stupid). Do you have either a bootloader for a 420*272 or a way to reset/format the logo picture (something like the YFormat.fmt magic file?).

    I tried everything, this thing wont start the update, nothing happens I just get the error message : "Cannot find 'pmp' ... " and when I press the OK the system freezes!

    This upgrade does give me the option to upgrade the whole system

    Default .bld

    Guys,

    I made a HUGE estupidity.

    Even tought there is a LOT of warnings saying:

    if your download contains

    BootPI06.bld or
    YFBtPI06.bld

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

    I didn't delete and now my YF GPS is completely dead... black screen and can't turn on or reset.
    I think my only hope is waiting for the battery to run out and pray.

    Does anyone have an idea? Anything helps.

    Thanks anyway

    Hi all,

    I've read all the pages cause I received my China GPS today and wanted to change the CE in English.

    That didn't work and then I found the 87F that supposed to be for my 84F, according to posting #53.
    But after the update it is telling me "Disk space is not enought!"

    Suppose the update was for 128 and I have 64.

    What can I do?
    It doesn't accept any other rom as it seems.

    thanks for all your help in advance.
    John

    I think that you used another bigger "menu" program.
    Use another YFAPP.WZD + same YFUpdate.exe on our SD card, no .img file needed.

    I used all of those menu here and when it comes too "disk not enough" I loaded another smaller menu file.

    Ok, it works.
    What did I do?

    1) First of all I had to make a disk with , and ofcourse YYUpdate.exe. Just like NoServise explaned (). Insert card and give hard reset.
    After the update it seems to get stuck, just took out the card and went to the next step.

    2) I used the and replaced the YFAPP.WZD with the one from .
    Insert card and give hard reset.

    Result?
    A very happy Dutch guy called Johnny with an awesome cheap, good working GPS (that still has a chinese winCE ghehe)
    So changing the CE in english is the next project!

    Thanks guy's

    I cannot get the English CE to install, try again tomorrow.

    But first I like to know how I can change the 'start' picture with the red car and the windmill.

    Can someone help please?
