Hey Folks

I'm sorry if this is a repeat of another post but I have searched and read and searched more and I am still confused and scared of bricking my dad's tomtom

He has a tomtom one and not sure if I have to update the bootloader and which maps and navcore will work with the tomtom one safely, I have updated my tomtom XL with success but really struggling with this one

Any help would be really helpful, my old man has never updated his satnav

I have downloaded the latest fastactivate and camera's but unsure about the rest

A little info about the SatNav and the versions it has installed

Device AK5SJ XXXXX
App - 9.510.1234792.2
OS - 842337 (2039, 4/4/2013)
32MB RAM
GPS - V1.20 SIRF 3
Boot - 4.8100
United_Kingdom_and_Republic_of_ireland V 660.1199

Hardware Type - TomTom ONE New Edition
Storage Type - SD Card

thanks again

You only need to update the bootloader if you want to use SD Card > 2GB

So I suggest try first this

*) Recommended Navcore navcore 9.510 32MB device
[Please Register or Login to download file]
--
Recommended Map (meta availble)
United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland 970.7467
--
1) Make a backup of your Device and delete the content.
--
2) Unpack the* navcore (winrar ) and place folders and files on your Device.
--
3) Reset The Device (minimal 15 sec) and start it till the announcement "No map found"
--
4) Copie the chosen map to your Device in his own folder.
If you open the map you see the loose files and probably a folder (brand).
Not a map in a map.
--
5) Copy "FastActivate.exe" to your device.
Run "FastActivate.exe".
     Select 2 and Done

Thank you so much, will give this a shot tonight, really appreciate the help.

Thanks

Is that a typo?

I would have thought you'd be recommending United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland 970.7466 or is it that a One doesn't have a microphone so going for 970.9467 with slightly less features?

No that is not a Typo.
As you mentioned it has not a microphone and one less future are the HNR. I expect that his father only stay,s in the UK (last map 660).

Yes that's right folks

I have opted for the auto map file but when I ran it, it said 940.7467 but I downloaded 970.7467, is this a typo error or have I downloaded the wrong file from the maps post

Also where do I copy and paste the META data, I opened a meta file but it's all jargon in notepad, thanks

I don,t know way you have opted for the auto map. Post 2 say,s what to do. You don,t have to copy and paste the meta data. The 970.7467 is right for the job.

Hey Folks

I have started from the start again and I get the following error, "you cannot use this map on this device: United_kingdom_and_republic_of_ireland- 100773"

used fast activate but not working, do you guys know where I have gone wrong

thanks

Is there in the map UK this file with the extention dct

United_Kingdom_and_Republic_of_Ireland-100773.meta.dct

Yes this file exists

I think that the bootloader need to be updated to 5.5022. How big is the SD Card you use ?

Has this worked from post 1
Device AK5SJ XXXXX

Ok I started from the start again, formatted card again but not a quick one, followed all the steps again and it worked like a treat, do I need to update bootloader ?

Thanks and really appreciate your time and energy to help me get my dad's satnav fixed, he is going to be so happy but I will mention the help came from Holy Head & fredderf

No you don,t need to update the bootloader. Have you any idea where it was going wrong before.
(I don,t know)
But it works and thanks for the feedback from me and fredderf.

I'm not sure if the full format worked, as I did a quick format and I had the issue, did a full format which took a lot longer but worked, so not entirely sure but your advice worked a treat for the step by step process, again really appreciate the help and your time.

Rang the old man and hes chuffed with the help from you guys too, what a great forum

can you point me in the right direction of some voices as the ones I tried the links have expired ?
