Firmware updates for European RNS510 units

[Chipsy]

It is not a downgrade error,
as I wrote: downgrade to 3970 is possible, but change not the partition.

I have enable the downgrade fw function for sure; and I have also tried the rest-function with the FW-Disc inserted. He don't want to use any SW lower than the 3970; independent if I start from 3970 or 4020...

3970 does not repartition the hard drive. You need to use 3810.

**EDIT**

Try installing 3810 first (as kamold suggested).


If that doesn't work, then there is a firmware available which will format the HDD. PM me your email address, I will upload the FW version this weekend, and send you the link.
Once this has applied, you will need to re-load/update your firmware again to the required level, plus, reload maps, and music, personal POI's and custom splash screen (if applicable).

As I said....this firmware will restore your HDD to factory default condition.

So, I waste now 3 CD's and 1 DVD again with different versions of 3810.

All stopped with the same SW Error. I tried once again my 4020 from first page as I thought that my RNS is now broken, but installation (without format) was success.

As my HDD on my PC is now full with several versions I found the following "strange" issue:

If I look into the file: \FW4020_50_25_25\HDD\HDD_20GB\RNSMIDEC\CONFIG\DlSc ript.txt I found the position:
MULTI_VERIFY_HDD
I assume this is for the partition, as I would there three differences in various downloads:
MULTI_VERIFY_HDD 2 3 67 2 33 0 0 0 0
MULTI_VERIFY_HDD 3 3 50 2 25 2 25 0 0
MULTI_VERIFY_HDD 3 3 90 2 5 2 5 0 0

First is an old 2660 with 67% / 33% partition, next the 50 / 25 / 25 from the 3810, and the last the AUS-Version with 90/5/5. Am I right ???

Suspicious is the following:
Sometimes there is at the area of the folder \FW4020_50_25_25\HDD\HDD_20GB only the subfolder "RNSMIDEC", sometimes there are 4 more !?!?!?!?!

Is this maybe the problem why not all versions are doing a format??

Greetings

Ignore the other folders, they are not relevent.
The only file that controls the format of the HDD is
HDD\HDD_20GB\RNSMIDEC\CONFIG\DlScript.txt

And you are correct the line multi_verify_hdd is what controls the paritioning.
You can't just edit this file however as you need to generate the correct CRC so that the disk will be accepted as a load source.

Can you post a screenshot of the exact error message and what part of the firmware load it happens?

Hi kamold !!!

Can you upload fw 3810a_noru.iso with 70/25/5 partition?? I can't do it with ultraISO... SW Error !! CRC problem.

Thanks from Spain !!

A nice summary of all Firmeware you find here:

Lista firmware RNS 510

Unfortunately I tried now several versions, but they never gave me 70/25/5.
As mentioned in my post above, I can see in the FW what the SW should do...
...but was never successful. I downloaded 3x 3810, 2x 2970 and 4x 4020 - nothing.

Good luck
Roger

Hi kamold !!

I've installed your FW_4020_a_70_25_5 and it works perfectly on my rns 510 A (30Gb HDD) with V8 maps Western Europe and custom POI.

I have 20.87Gb free for music !!!

Thanks !!!
