Very interesting.... I wonder why that should work but Mike's restore of an actual backup didn't?

Do you think we can persuade Richard (Oldboy) to add this version to his archive? (before the link disappears!)

They actually suggested 2 ways of doing this, one was using TTHome, which didn't work and the other was the way I described previously. TTHome refused to recognise the version was available to install.

It seems like their application S/W has some check built into it to only install upgraded firmware.

I guessing that when you use the method that works, one of the files you copy over will indicate that there's some new firmware to install, thus circumventing any checks in the application S/W. Also I'm not absolutely convinced yet that when you use the back up/restore facility it actually changes the firmware. The way TT recommended using TTHome to upgrade firmware was via the "Modify Items on my computer" menu route.

Anyway, I'm well chuffed, itinerary planning is working and is mint, and actually the old firmware "feels better", everything is more responsive and the thing boots up a lot quicker.

Just followed your instructions burchy, and worked the same for me, thanks.

Logically I would have expected HOME to offer version 8.010 next time I logged in, but it doesn't. Is that what you were saying in your last post? And does this mean that if a better version comes along HOME won't spot that either?

HOME needs a .toc File to be able to load applications/maps.

The download is just the compressed data file.

I think if you look at OldBoys post above it explains why TTHome didn't recognise the older version, i.e. there was no .TOC file included in the zip.

I don't think you'll ever have a problem upgrading in the future to be honest, if it doesn't offer it you automatically then you can always use the "Modify items on my computer" option in TTHome.

I guess the real question should be, will you ever want to upgrade to a future version, given the chances are the itinerary planning functionality probably wouldn't be supported.

Fair point Smile

I was actually mainly doing it to see if it solved a hanging problem I mentioned earlier (different thread), which it did. I presume that the update uses more RAM so that when route planning is taking place it has less space to do other stuff.

Try a pin reset?
Tried that one, it didn't work, will have to format it and re-install what was on it earlier today - looks like rolling back to previous software/ maps is a no go on this unit - Mike


I'm new here, having just changed from an RAC model to the TT1v3.
My first upgrade failed, leaving the unit useless. I eventually found the instructions for formatting and re-installing BUT it seems you have to download and run the flash memory clear utility before it will reboot. I did so, and it is now working. This may be your problem, but as I'm very new to TomTom I'm not sure.

Thanks for the info Bill, but my One Third Edition is now running a very different version to that on the previous page, at least we now know how to roll the device back to vs7 software when required - Mike

Can anyone confirm this.....

Since reverting my Tom Tom One 3rd Edition to Version 7.162 I no longer get offered QuickGPS Fix updates when I connect to Tom Tom Home. I'm not bothered as it doesn't seem to make any difference how quick the unit locks to a satellite signal, just curious if this is something others had noticed and if there happened to be a method to get the unit to do this update without updating to version 8.

Happy on Vsn 7.162 as like the option of Itinerary planning.

If you use the device on a regular basis (every couple of days) then the Quick GPS data is of no use to the device, I stopped bothering with this "feature" some considerable time ago on all my devices that support aGPS (3 PDA's and 4 TT units) - Mike

Hi there,

I'm new to this forum and don't know if it's custom to introduce itself before asking any "dumb" questions. If this is the case I'd appreciate any hints. Wink

But I'm trying to pose my question anyway...

I've just bought a new TomTom One 3rd Edition with the Western Europe Map. It came with a preinstalled version 8.016.

I was planning to downgrade to version 7.166 since I'd like to use the "hidden" itn-Feature. I downloaded the cab-File from one of the previous posts and copied the files to my TomTom. But it hangs up during reboot. The splash screens appears and then it just hangs up. I tried the reset twice (once by pressing the reset button about 30secs) but I've had no success so far.
For now I copied the actual files (which I saved before) to the TomTom and it works again. But alas, with Navcore 8.016. Sad

So I hope there might be anybody out there who might give me any tips I might try as well.

Thanks in advance,
Bastian

Welcome to the forum, to us the Navcore version on the One Third edition that could be "tweaked" to add the missing ITN function you would need to have a v705 map installed to the unit. I very much doubt you will be able to do this with the map version your device will have been supplied with - its too new - Mike
