A while ago I bought a GO720, complete with accessoires (charger, dock, TMC-antenna, case) for about 80 euros. Seems a good deal, considering the general idea on this forum is that this device is good candidate for all sorts of navcores/bootloaders/upgrades/experiments, has a SDcardslot and 64MB RAM.
The navcore was 8.398 and the bootloader 5.5120 when I received it.
Everytime I put the device on the dockingstation/connect with PC via USB-cable the device frooze with a black screen after pressing the "yes" -button when it asked "connect to PC?".
The ONLY way to reset it was by doing a 30sec reset on the resetbutton WHILE power was connected! Lucky I had a seperate mini-usb charger, because pressing the resetbutton while on the dockingstation is not possible.
I ran clearflashtool, but the "soft-reset" this tool sends also froze the device.
Only after upgrading the bootloader to 5.5250 the freezing problem was gone.
Then I connected to TomTomHome to get the latest navcore, but it said this device is already up to date. Because I knew navcore 9.430 is the latest for this device I completely wiped the (internal) flash and let TomTomHome upgrade the device.
It installed first 7.480, then 8.300, then 8.351, then 9.430. This latest navcore runs fine, but I am missing ASR now. TMC has never worked at all.
The reason I describe this whole process here, before asking anything is that it might help others with the same or similar issues and of course, to inform what I already have done.
Questions:
- How to get ASR working with NC 9.430?
- How to get TMC working with NC 9.430?
- Is there anybody at all who has TMC working on this device and if yes, wich navcore and bootloader are you using?
- Wich navcore and wich bootloader do you recommend for maximum functionality for this device?
I have not seen any "traffic sidebar" with any of the navcores. Not with nor without TMC-antenna connected.
Thanks in advance for any advise.
