OK, I deleted everything from memory leaving only files and folders mentioned in Andy's post. I removed also 3 files from my map's folder (Western_and_Central_Europe_2GB). Version downloaded is 9.026 from

Thanks very much for all responses.
I did everything once again but now I deleted everything from TomTom's memory leaving only the map folder. I was copying folders from my backup one by one. Then I unpacked Andy's RAR and copier everything to TomTom. After restarting I finally saw my map Smile

Voice works but I hear weird distortion during street pronunciation and even worse with motorway numbers.
Please download this audio file and check it for yourself.

My TomTom's language is English. Don't know what else can I do Sad

At least we are getting somewhere now!

Can you check how much free memory you have on the version info screen. For example I have 64MB RAM (free:19.4MB)

Does it seem to work OK if you choose a non-TTS voice?

With all the files on there try renaming ttn to ttn.old and PNDNavigator.orig to PNDNavigator - you won't have TTS but I need to know if the device runs OK like this before we go any further.

Making an assumption that you have a 32Mb device can you download this

Extract it to your TT - you will have a folder called ttntools on there now.

Delete the TTSFix folder and the file ttn (and/or ttn.old)

Rename PNDNavigator.orig to PNDNavigator.

I have slimmed down the amount that gets copied to RAM for the 32Mb devices.

Make sure the LoquendoTTS folder is on there with all the original files from the original download link.

Let me know if it seems any better.

Edit: Updated the link - there was an error in the script - link now removed

I am loosing my mind!!! ;)
I turned TomTom off, after that it didn't want to start. It was showing logo and after around 30 sec was restarting itself.
After changing names of files I can start TomTom but of course cannot chose computer voice. Plus when I had this mod on I was unable to save any map preferences.
I had the same amount of RAM as you, between 19 and 20.

Which all points to a corrupted file system on the internal SD.

Connect to the PC, make sure home is completely closed and then right click on your TT drive letter and format it as FAT - full format.

As soon as it has finished format it again as FAT32 - full format

Now copy your full backup over to the device - this will take about an hour

When all files have copied over right click on your TT drive letter and choose eject - let it reboot and do not do anything until you get prompted to connect to computer. Choose No and then power off the TT. Unplug the USB cable and test all is well.

The ONE/XL IQs are notorious for this - never unplug the usb cable unless the device is powered down.

You are now back to square one - up to you as to if you want to have another go at this or not but the fix does work - 30+ downloads so far.

I would also run the TT clearflash tool a couple of times and perform a reset to factory defaults as well as a hard reset if you have managed to corrupt the filesystem.

Hi Andy.I gave it a good test today (Bolton to Gloucester and back).It ran with no trouble at all. My wife thinks I am having an affair as all I talk about is how good the TomTom is now thanks to you (especially Kates voice).Thank-you again.

Cheers Marcus!

My wife has long thought I am having an affair with the TomTom Laughing

Yes yes yes yes yes yes. It works!!!

That was a long night. But now everything sounds as it should Smile

Thanks Mr.

I have another question now.

Question removed, stick to the aim of this thread which is to get TTS running on a device using nothing illegally hacked or downloaded, we do not allow any discussion of hacked maps on this forum - Mike Alder

No talk of not very original maps on here.

Hi. I followed the instructions this morning and the tts works well thankyou. One problem though. The screen on my xl live has never been very sensitive and required two taps sometimes to register. It seems even less responsive now and also I can't put the volume above 60 per cent as if you now tap towards the right of the volume bar it acts as if you were tapping the right side of the screen without the volume bar showing if you understand what I mean. Any suggestions apart from putting it back how it was(I dud an explorer backup first). Cheers

9.026 or 9.051?

Did you do the full download or the ttn file or the ttntools?

My preferred method is 9.026 with the ttntools method I posted a few threads up.

Dead simple, install 9.026 for ONE or XL.

Then download Kate.

Manually install both - Kate has to be extracted in to the LoquendoTTS folder.

Test the device - at this point you will not have TTS so will have to use a standard voice.

Now download this.

Extract it to the root of the TT - you will have a folder called ttntools in the root of the TT with a file called ttntool.sh and a lib and bin folder inside it.

TTS will now work.

Steer clear of 9.051 for now - the above method will be fine on 32 and 64Mb devices as it doesn't copy PNDNavigator over to RAM as per a GO. As the ONE/XL have slower processors, the combination of LIVE and TTS seems to bring the device to its knees, especially with 9.051.
