NYTomTomUser,
I saved v 8.300.9 to my laptop... but the instructions that were provided, while appreciated, are a bit too non-direct for a newbie. Can you assist? FYI, I do have a TT930.
Thanks,
RD
Sorry, rangerd I think you were referring to my instructions.
Here is the cab files needed for a x30 device
You said you had a 930 so you need this one.
navcore_8.300.9732.go530-go730-go930.cab
Is someone else visiting has a x20 device here is the cab for them
navcore_8.300.9732.gox20.cab
(There are the same thing inside except for some birthday files in the TomTom-Cfg folder have different dates
- again getting to technical and they remained on your Go after the 8.301 update so no need to replace them -)
I was trying to save on read/writes to your Go to prolong it's life.
You don't need to extract the whole cab contents over those already on your device.
Most instructions will have you do this.
You just need to extract
ttsystem back over and replace the one that was put there by 8.301
I don't know what program you have installed and associated with cab files.
You may be able to just click on the cab and it will open and you can drag out the ttsystem file.
If that does not work you can install something like WinRAR (shareware/demo) or do it for free with another program.
I was writing instructions that use expand a DOS program that is included with every version of windows and is free and already installed.
Hopefully these instructions are better.
1. Right click TomTom Home in the system tray and select exit
Do this so it will not have the possibility of locking access to a file.
2. Save
navcore_8.300.9732.go530-go730-go930.cab to My Documents
3. Start a Dos Prompt (
Windows Key + R) or Start and then Run, or look in the Accessories folder in the Start menu for "Command Prompt"
4. Type in
cmd and press enter
It will display a command prompt C:\Documents and Settings\UserName>_
UserName will be something unique and the _ will be flashing
5. Type in
cd "My Documents"
you can start typing my and press tab and it should autocomplete
6. Type in expand
navcore_8.300.9732.go530-go730-go930.cab -F:ttsystem c:
Again after you type in expand you can start typing in navecore and press tab and it should autocomplete
You would then just need to add the space and -F:ttsystem c:
That should extract ttsystem to "My Documents"
You can then just copy ttsystem from My Documents to your TomTom Go
and say yes to replace.
If you know the drive letter of your TomTom Go you could also type in
expand navcore_8.300.9732.go530-go730-go930.cab -F:ttsystem x:\
replacing x with the drive letter of your TomTom and it will extract it to your TomTom Go and also ask if you want to replace.
Yes, I know a very lengthy post just to say all you need to replace is ttsystem to revert back to a 8.300.9732 firmware/navecore
