TomTom ONE v8 stuck in reboot loop

Tue Sep 04, 2018 7:30 am

I have an TomTom ONE v8 which is stuck in a reboot loop.

You get the TomTom ONE splash screen. Then a progress indicator. Then black screen. Back to the splash screen.

I have followed all advice which I could find on the internet in various fora but without effect:

Format the device and reinstall all software using TomTom Home
Restore an image to the device I previously created on my Mac using the dd command
Formatted the device to NTFS first and then to FAT and FAT32
Fiddled with the MapSettings.cfg file as suggested in some forums
Installed latest NavCore V9.510 for 32mb devices

I am out of options. Is there anything else I could try to get the device working again?

Thanks,
JeeWee

Did you install a new map also and are you still using the same mapsettings.cfg file ?
Delete that file, it's not always compatible with a new map.

I installed on a fresh new device using TomTom Home software that downloads everything directly from TomTom. No effect.

If you bought and download everything direct from TomTom, why not ask them ?
