Title: Nightmare on F/W updating - HELP Required
Post by: Kiwi on March 09, 2013, 02:24:31 pm: So I have the following

RNS 510 C - currently running 2760 F/W and Maps Version 7551

I have downloaded the firmware files from RNSfirmware.com and from the my-GTI, I have versions 3810a and have Euro 4120 firmware.

I have bought Verbatim Discs DVD-R, TDK CDRw and Traxdata CD-R, but none of then get pass the full install stage, the RNS510 see's the image, see pictures below.

So apart from hanging myself, or driving the car into a brick wall, what on earth can I do...................

Someone help me out........... Does anyone have a disc that they know will 100% work??

Looking forward to your help

Title: Re: Nightmare on F/W updating - HELP Required
Post by: Kiwi on March 09, 2013, 03:12:31 pm: Yes mate, lowest it would go was x4 speed
Title: Re: Nightmare on F/W updating - HELP Required
Post by: skard on March 09, 2013, 03:17:05 pm: There was no 1x or 2x option?

I'll report back later what brand I used, I had one failed attempt but then worked fine next attempt

I requested x1 speed, but reading the info as displayed it was writing at x4 speed

Post by: bacillus on March 09, 2013, 07:26:39 pm: This may sound stupid but try burning the dvd on a different burner as some burner chipsets are more likely to burn a dvd that fully readable on your rns510 trhan others.
Title: Re: Nightmare on F/W updating - HELP Required
Post by: RetroRaz on March 09, 2013, 07:32:24 pm: I would only use verbatim and nothing else.

Could be a corrupt download. Would try downloading again and as said above try a different burner.

Post by: Kiwi on March 09, 2013, 08:52:04 pm: Thanks guys for all your suggestions help,

I'll try all of this on a different PC

Fingers crossed for tomorrow and I try this all again................................

Post by: skard on March 09, 2013, 10:35:18 pm: If I recall you have to load 3810 to get the new partition layout, then 4120 thereafter.
I have 4020 on mine.
Title: Re: Nightmare on F/W updating - HELP Required
Post by: bacillus on March 09, 2013, 10:46:20 pm: What format is your clock time? If 24 hr try changing it to 12 hr and then try the update again.

I've also had and been trying 3810a firmware update, and still same errors

Post by: RetroRaz on March 10, 2013, 08:42:09 am: What fw are you on at the moment?

If you're on something really low then it may be worth trying a lower fw first like a 2760. And then upgrade to 3810

Post by: Kiwi on March 10, 2013, 10:20:26 am: I'm currently running 2760 already, tried just moving to 3810a and still all the same issues.

Tried changing clock from 12 to 24 and back and still nothing.

I'm stumped

I have been all over the internet and downloaded a good few F/W versions (4120, 4020, 3810a, 3810, 4020H) and used 3 different computers. And not one works.............. they can't all be bad.

Now I've lost maps too, and no radio :sad:

Under software version it's now blank............... :sad1:

Post by: m3iss3li on March 10, 2013, 04:19:46 pm: I had this same problem few weeks ago. I just burned the CD again with my laptop @ 1x speed and worked. Before that burned like 5 CDs with my PC and none of them worked. My RNS-510 is also very selectible between CD brands :grin: Sony worked fine for me.

Even managed to get F/W 5218_Mod on it, but ended up with no sound, so have rolled it back to 3810_Noru, Just having to create a map disc now, as the installs wiped out the maps :sad1:

So out of 15 Discs, and 4 different web sites for downloading and 3 different pc's/laptops, I have so far managed to create 2 working discs ( F/W 3810A_Noru & F/W 5218_Mod )

I'm going to try and get to F/W 4120, as I really fancy Radio Text ( Sad I know )

I can only imagine this is why so many RNS510's are not updated, because it is a complete arse ache.
