Posted: Mon Jan 16, 2006 10:46 pm Post subject: Problem upgrading from 5.410 to 5.420 |
|
|
I downloaded & unzip the correct file from the tomtom site, connected my TTGo 500 to pc & connected to mains power. Tried to run the upgrade, it got to @ 35% & the status bar stopped, left it alone for about 10 mins & nothing happened. So disconnected from pc & the TTG had frozen - had to press the reset at bottom of unit. Restarted TTG & had a card error type icon. Good job I made a back up of the original card :D and I was able to restore it. Tried this 4 times in total and same thing happened each time. Any ideas what I might be doing wrong or how I can fix this problem ? |

Try downloading a new update from the Tom Tom site making sure its for your 500. The first one might be corrupt. _________________ TomTom Go 910 (3) v.6.522 Map Western Europe v.650 with useless TMC receiver

Thanks - tried it with the Version 5.420 for Windows (EXE) and it worked, it was the Version 5.420 for Windows (ZIP) I tried earlier. |

Hello fellas. This thread is interesting to me as I bought my TTG300 two weeks ago and it has the 5.410 firmware. Can someone let me know if there is any benefit in updating to 5.420?
If I were to update would I need to reload the PGPS safety cameras files? |

From the download page:
Quote: | What's new in 5.420?
- It's even easier to start a Traffic trial on your device.
- After setting up TomTom Traffic, it is automatically enabled.
- Streets with the same name in towns that are close together are not confused in this version.
- The quality of the sound has been optimised when using hands-free calling (GO 500 and 700).
- Version 5.420 is compatible with more mobile phones.
- All entries in the phonebook, on mobile phones compatible with this feature, are now transferred to your TomTom device, no matter where they are stored. |

No, but you will lose any custom alert sounds or voices, as a new data.chk is included in the install. Scared the hell out of me when I got the first cow noise after upgrading! |

Cheers Andy. I am still new to all this so I may give it some more consideration before I take the plunge. |

On a 300 (which doesn't have all the hands-free phone stuff) and if you're not using Traffic, I doubt you'd notice any difference.
(Unless you've been bothered by the "Streets with the same name in towns that are close together are not confused in this version" issue - I haven't so far). |
