Won't update from v7.221

As the heading says, TT Home says there are no updates available. Is there any way to force an update??

Back up the device using Windows Explorer then use Windows Explorer to delete the loose files in the root of the drive, do not delete any of the folders though.
Connect it to the PC and start TomTom Home, it should offer the latest software which will be a two stage update, first time you will get 7,481 then repeat the update to get the 8,010 release - Mike

By loose files, do you mean any files which are not in folders??

OK, i've done as you said and all appears to be working. Now on 8.010.
Thanks very much.
Dick

Yes, the files that are not contained in any folders, you should find files like this:

antitheftw.bmp
autorun.inf
connect2internet.db
connect2internet.so
connect2internetdb.ver
data.chk
fm201parameters
fmsignal
InstallTomTomHOME.exe
internal.dat
libaec.so
lowbatteryw.bmp
mctx.dat
splashw.bmp
system
tomtom.ico
ttgo.bif
ttsystem
UserPatch.dat

The way I got it to do it was...

1/ Made a back up.

2/ Opened Home and Selected "Remove items from my device"

3/ Selected the Application.

4/ Once I'd removed it, I disconnected, reconnected & then I did an update.

Which worked. Smile

Which phone are you trying to use with the device? - Mike

Phone is a Motorola Razr v3. Previously data worked, i was able to access TT Traffic, and also receive text messages, although for some reason i was never able to reply to them. Now i can do neither.

Try deleting the phone from the TomTom and the TomTom from the phone then re-pair the two devices - Mike
