How to avoid Navcore upgrade via TomTom Home - please help

Mon Jan 28, 2013 1:55 pm

I followed these instructions:

in case to prevent TT Home from downloading & installing Navcore 9.700
Open the ttgo.bif file with Notepad.
Replace lines 9 & 10 with these:
ApplicationVersionVersionNumber=9700
ApplicationVersion=1133776.1
Save this change by clicking "File" in the upper left corner of windows explorer, then "Save as" ttgo.bak. At this point, there is only a ttgo.bak file in the root, no ttgo.bif.
Disconnect & reboot. Now you will have a ttgo.bak, a ttgo.bif & a ttgo.ori file in the root & no TT Home upgrade to Navcore 9.400.

Issues:
NotePad saved file as ttgo.bak.txt so I changed that in total commander to ttgo.bak and deleted ttgo.bif
After restart I see these files:
ttgo.bak
ttgo.bif it has old ApplicationVersionVersionNumber and ApplicationVersion again

There is no file ttgo.ori

TTHome want to install navcore 9.700

What I am doing wrong?
Thanks.

Why do you not want to install 9.700?

Fair reason. We haven't found a true SE 9.700 version yet. Downunder has a DSA version. PM me a copy of your 8.398 ttgo.bif file.

After restart tomtom created ttgo.bif with
ApplicationVersionVersionNumber=8398
ApplicationVersion=1917

TTHome want to install 9.700

Do you have anything on a SD card, or is everything on the internal?

navcore on the internal, map on SD card

Nothing else on the card besides the map folder? No ttgo files, etc?

Just moved navcore to SD, deleted ttgo.bif
Same issue after restart.

Delete all ttgo files except ttgo.bak. Change these ttgo.bak file values:

ApplicationVersionVersionNumber=9700
ApplicationVersion=1133776.1

to

ApplicationVersionVersionNumber=9465
ApplicationVersion=1074274.1

Disconnect & reboot.

This a bit of a poser. We will play with it a bit.
