Might be an idea in future to get an SD card and use that for initial updates, leaving existing system on internal - so that you can stop, pull the SD card and revert to booting and running from internal.
I have a 903T with an SDHC card. The OS and maps are on the device. It sounds like the device will look first at the SDHC for the OS & maps?
Can one have v8.302 on the card, with the maps on the device, or should each be a "complete" entity, ie contain both and maybe all the other folders, too?

I don't have, or never have had any GPRS issues, and I would suggest it's probably your service provider.
It is not my service provider, it makes the GPRS connection with the phone but when you go an use any service the 930 locks up and the phone drops the packet data connection with the 930. It works perfectly with version 8.302 it is only since the 8.350 release that this issue has started, I am also not the only one experiencing this but thanks for your input none the less.

You can mix and match happily, having whichever on either or both. It's not necessary to have the OS on both, but you can. And you can have different OS versions on the device and the card.
The rule is, it will always boot first from the SDHC card if the OS (whatever version) is on the SDHC Card and even if the OS is also on the device - that is my own setup. I have 8.302 on the device and 8.351 on the card, so it boots up in 8.351. If I switch off, remove the card and reboot, it comes up in 8.302. I could change them round with no problem. Or I could just have the OS on the device and several maps to switch between on the card. Or OS on the card and just maps on the device. I wouldn't recommend not having an OS on the device, only because the device would be unusable standalone without the card. _________________ Dennis
One (hopefully) last question : does this apply to all the folders? For instance, the itn folder contains my itineraries. This folder could then be on either; if on both, the card takes precedence.
Have I got that right?
Cheers again,
Mark
Later .... the device must mix-&-match, sometimes. For instance, I can keep photos in the photos folder, both on the SD & device. They are all available to view ....

Just copy the loose files in the root of your backup to the root of the unit, overwriting what is there. Don't copy any of the folders or their contents.

There are a number of files within folders that also need to be sent to the device/ memory card, the best way is to use WinRar to extract the zipped download to the device, these zipped files from earlier Navcores will still be on your PC in the Home/ downloads folder - Mike

Mike,
v8.302 came with my device, I suspect, so it doesn't exist in any cab file, just as loose files within the backup I made at the time. The later versions (v8.35 & v8.352) are indeed in their respective folder and xipped files.
I don't have those cab files here, so I can't check them to see what their internal folder structure is ...
I read in another of your posts of downloading these files direct from TT rather than through HOME (though I've not had any bad experience with HOME itself). Do you have a link to the right part of their website, please?
the issue is still there with regards to the GPRS disconnecting when trying to accessing Weather or any other GPRS service so they haven't fixed that yet.

Having the same problem with my 520,and only since 8.350, rolled back to 8.302 ...no problems,reported to Tomtom who told me to manual connect, in reply told them again it was 8.350 that was the problem.when the customer survey was e-mailed to me gave all negatives and in comments that they should listen to what customers tell them. _________________ Square2024

But tell me, how do you know where to find these?!
There are two ways, once you know the Navcore number its easy, and that generally gets posted on the forum within a few minutes of its release, the second one involves a crystal ball and is far more mysterious - Mike
I'm about to unzip the above cab file to my SD card, so I should then boot up into v8.302 .... in the meantime, I seem to remember that my HOME version of v8.35 stored some more files (ie other than the cab) in the relevant local folder. Are they important/necessary?
Cheers,
Mark
Later : the 2 files are a toc and png , so not essential, I would suggest.
