Cannot activate any map

Hello!

Anyone know what could be the problem? It doesn't seem to be any obvious reason.
I have tried two different 1005 maps, both Europe_North_1GB, which both have meta codes available.
FastActivate always complains about .dct error.
I also tried an auto-installer package with 1005.8767 map, but the end result was the same, Tomtom said that the map cannot be used.
I have previously used 995 maps successfully with this same device.

Here's my device info:

Code:

ttgo.bif:
         DeviceName=TomTom XXL IQ Routes Edition
         DeviceVersionHW=ONE XXL IQ Routes
         DeviceSerialNumber=RWxxxxxxxxxx
         BootLoaderVersion=55228
         ApplicationVersionVersionNumber=9510
         ApplicationVersion=1234792.2
         CurrentMap=
         CurrentMapVersion=0.0 
Map(s):
         G:\Europe_North_1GB_1005_8767\
Storage:
         Size 14826MB, Free 13258MB

By the way, is there any Linux tools for activating maps? It is always frustrating to mount the Tomtom on an virtual machine... (And the problem is not related to this. Same result with real Windows PC)

The obvious answer there is no metacode availble so those maps can,t be used

I just said there is metacodes for both maps.
EE F3 E1 A6 7E 66 36 75 5E DE 28 A1 09 B5 9C F9 Europe_North-101441.meta ; Europe_North 1005_8767

You said both Europe_North_1GB
Not to my knowledge but success.

Hmm... Then if you can surely see there is no meta code for those maps, then how does this thing work? I see that there is the exact map version, and a hex code with it. But is there some other thing to consider beyond that?

The exact maps i have tried:
Europe North 1GB 1005 8767 and the auto-patching version also
with metacode EE F3 E1 A6 7E 66 36 75 5E DE 28 A1 09 B5 9C F9 Europe_North-101441.meta ; Europe_North 1005_8767

Europe 1GB North 1005 8819
with metacode FA C1 1C B8 D9 02 BA C9 2C 7B 29 24 B8 36 A4 FC Europe_North-101483.meta ; Europe_North 1005_8819

You need a metacode for the 1GB map. You can,t use the metacode from another Europe_North 1005_8767 map.

Ohh... Now i see it. I always thought that the 1GB version was just a reduced version, still being the same than the bigger....
But the, what's with the auto-patching package? Why does it exist if it can't auto-patch?

It would be fine with the bigger version, but rest of my Tomtoms have only 2GB of memory.

With auto-patch it is the same as with non auto-patch maps it can only been used if the metacode is availble.
Auto-Patch has an inbuild FastAktivate.
So always first look if a metacode is availble if so you can download the map otherwise it is a waist off time.

Yeap. Thank you

Hola: Creo que tienes razon ami me pasa lo mismo, me e descargado el Iberia 1005- 8819 y el programa melo activa pero luego lo meto en el GPS y me dice este codigo no es correcto para este dispositivo, asi unas cuantas veces y lo mismo.

English only please

Iberia 1005.8819 will activate successfully if you download the latest FastActivate
