Ive bricked my GPS

Hiya all,

Been reading this thread with great interest, i too bought a navgo sy885 of ebay from come china guy, lol, and have come accross the same problems. Initially worked with route 66 however wasnt compatible with 7 digit uk postcodes..tried installing tom tom software from the (copy) disc supplied following instructions from seller which was prob first mistake tom tom never worked when clicking the navigation tab nothing worked. Formatted SD card as advised by seller and re installed route 66 ..never worked since!!!!

Also tried fixing the registry now all I have is the sea and cliffs picture no menu etc. Seller is no help whatsoever.. just keeps sending me same info over and over wonder if anyone else got from Comedyshop (name should have been a giveaway really eh ) ... will keep an eye on posts anyone has any luck with this BRICK id be greatful for a few pointers.......

Many thanks x

p.s my email address if anyone has any luck is pscotspear@aol.com.....

fingers crossed x

do both bkondisk and bksamsung create this log?

this one is a little different "bksamsung"

ERROR: kioctl(FLASH, init) - UNKNOWNERROR: 0x00000032
error initializing flash

no luck then, you don't have the required ioctls.. you can try pdocread but it never worked for me on ce devices. it needs toolhelp.dll and activesync. so only other option would be writing a low level nand dumper

thanks cmonex, yes ive played with a few of the tools but no luck As for a Nand dumpper beyone me! Ive had the PNA apart and cant see any thing to say what model parts are inside so who knows what brand rom is in it

yeah that makes it harder if you don't know what type of nand it has.
however you can attempt to dump the bootloader and the xipkernel, both are loaded in RAM. bootloader has low level nand read code (especially IPL), and xipkernel has the flash drivers required to load the rest of the OS.

Hi, guys... How finished this history? I'm having the same problem with my NavGo SY885... I formating the flash memory with yformat.fmt command... Now I need a image to load in it...
Does someone know I can find it?

Thanks...

can

Can you help me with this, it's from my ce5.0 bricked gps which I'm
trying to bring back to life. I cannot extract anything using your tools:

I was looking in this topic: Forums · Technical Support · Windows CE 4.x .net / CE 5.0/I've bricked my GPS but nobody posts there any more, if you would be so nice to give me some help, I would be very grateful. My email ojeoje@operamail.com

Thanks in advance
