540 live update - hd traffic and live unavailable

[cgreen69]

Updated my 540 live over the weekend and now get an "1008" error everytime I try to connect to live services. Any other user experiencing this? I had a similar problem when I upgraded the os last year and it took TomTom months to fix

A bug in the application. All UK users are suffering it. You can roll back to 9.058 until a patch is released (supposedly this week)

Not all UK users, dhn... Only those with one of a certain batch of SIM cards.

I've no idea if that's the majority of users or just a significant minority.

I too updated my application in the week and my live services also fail with error 1008 on my Tom Tom 540 live. I was not impressed having just been on holiday and had no live service.

Any idea where the old application can be gained from? - I inadvertently applied the new one via Tom Tom home without my normal backup being made.

EDIT - Sorry that's the Go940 version, for the 540/740 use dhn's link in the next post.

There are more detailed instructions here on the forum, but basically you use something like WinRar to extract the files from the .cab document and copy them onto the GO replacing the existing ones.

I do think it should be this one, Andy and mike37:

Error 1008 - second time for me when updating application

I updated my Live 740 last night not realising about the error 1008 prior to the update, BUT I made a backup of the TomTom 740 Live prior to the update and copied that across to a memory card and was therefore able to insert the memory card in and use that until such time as TomTom came up with a soultion. TomTom they told me this morning should be very shortly(?). This is the second time since purchasing my 740 Live that this has happened at an application update! How can TomTom put the update out without fully testing it? It would appear that when accessing TomTom Home for updates you are unable to uncheck the application update and only select map and other updates.

Doh! Finger trouble there on my part! (I've got them all in TINY text on a spreadsheet and must have got the line below)

I'll correct my post.

I'll give you 30-0 for that one.

Grrr... not happy with TomTom. They broke my UK Live services last time there was a software update, and now they've done it again. Muppets! (Go 540 LIVE)

Anyone know whether this has been fixed yet?

Try resetting your unit by holding the power button about 10 seconds till the drum sound is heard.

Tried that, still shows 'Connected' but no LIVE Services...

Three more things you can try:
1) go to preferences -> My Tomtom account -> and login with the userID/password that you use in Tomtom HOME
2) run Operate my GO, and try to use LIVE services. If it works, disconnect and see if LIVE services work for you
3) run the clearflash tool here 3 times.
