RNS Firmware upgrade to 3xxx

[FJ Steve]

well...I bit the bullet and tried to apply FW3xxx (karmolds custom FW) this morning and each time I attempted it, it returned an Error 10306

Currently running the following: Del. Part. No. 1 T0035680 C
HW-Version H05
SW-Version 2760
SV SW-Version C_EU_9.242_t520

Running map 7492 (V4.1)

Any thoughts? Might go and pick up some new media and try that, however the current media (DVD-R) that I have used has worked successfully previously. Is anyone able to confirm that the unit quoted above is definitely a C unit and not a re-badged/flashed A/B unit? 'cos if it's a the latter, then FW2760 would appear to be as far as I can go, without going to the trouble of getting a new motherboard etc. And I'm not about to do that.

investigating further.....here is the version.txt file from the 3xxx FW disc:

I note that my unit 1 T0035680 C is not listed in the Part number file. Guess this means it's not suitable to a C unit........

Thoughts?

So...6 x DVDs & 1 x CD later.....no joy.

I reckon it's because the Part Number of my unit doesn't match the required info in the disc TOC file.

Bummer

I definitely have a C unit and it definitely all works on mine.

Only way to tell for sure what your unit is, is via a VCDS scan.


Suggest you try installing an original unmodified FW 3970.

If that works, then it's got nothing to do with your unit.

I remembered I had a VCDS scan log tucked away on my HDD.....found it. Was done when i had the issue with the steering wheel controls with FW2660. Of course, that's been resolved now.

Address 37: Navigation (J0506) Labels: 1T0-035-680.clb
Part No SW: 1T0 035 680 C HW: 1T0 035 680 A
Component: RNS-MID H05 2660

So...that's definitely a C version unit, true?

And...I'll give a FW3970 (unmodified) a run for it's money and see how I go.

Sorry to disappoint ... but your unit is an A.

Basically the VCDS scan doesn't lie:

Part No SW: 1T0 035 680 C HW: 1T0 035 680 A

But your unit does, when you view it via secret menu.

Your FW 2760 installed makes it look like a C unit.

Just like mine appears to be a D unit after installing FW 3970.

ah bugger...oh well. Half expected that FW2760 was gonna be as far as she would go.

All good.

Many thanks for confirming the inevitable.

have you tried the file for the A/B/C units as mentioned in Mav's page? Volkswagen RNS 510 Firmware Upgrade to version 3810 / 3814 / 3816 / 3818 | my-gti.com

I upgraded mine and wifey's and mother's C units to 3720 this weekend. It took a while.

Happy to give it a go. Why did it take a while? Do you mean the time take:

1. To download, or
2. To apply the FW update to the 3 units?
3. Or the fact that applying it to one unit took a while.

Make like Pauline Hanson.

"Please explain"

[aussietig]

Cause he was upgrading 3 units.

But the suggestion to upgrade to FW3810 should work.

[FJ Steve]

worked.

I must've grabbed the wrong file last time.

I now have an A unit that thinks it's a D unit. Running FW3810. V4.1 maps (unmodified) with ALL OEM POI's working. MFSW works as well.

Happy Days!!
