I've a TomTom XL 30 series (1 GB ram) and I'm trying to update the map to Europe_1GB_West_920_5267 or Europe_1GB_South_920_5267.

I downloaded the above maps which include Europe_1GB_West-854.meta file. When I try patching thes maps with FastActivate I get "Europe_1GB_West-854.meta => .dct ERROR" or "Europe_1GB_South-854.meta => .dct ERROR". It looks like the meta file included not works and they are not available.
Also I find this

Hats off! You’re right!

I'm trying to fall back on the older map Europe_1GB_West_910_4952. This TomTom XL is belongs a friend.

BTW, It took me 2 hours for copying a map (750 MB). TomTom forum recommends to low level format the device. Although, I low format this TomTom, still it take 2 hours for copying. WEIRD
Also, this TomTom use Navcore v9.170 (about 100 MB). What low size Navcore update you’ll recommend?

Regards

TNX biggerdave,
I tested yr clearflash 3 tmes as you recommend and allowed a reboot after each run... it worst.
The device had no mre access to the map and got "no maps found" message. I'm reformating the device and copying everything (:

reformatting the device and copying everything back is a waste of time and not needed
leave it as is

you just ;
1 patch navcore
2 activate map
2b check if the .DCT is present
3 if DCT is there ;reset , and all should be fine
3b if no DCT , you did something wrong somewhere

-check if meta-key is copied correct
-try other tools
-make sure antivirus or firewall is not blocking it

TNX all
Finally I re-format, copied Navcore v9.170 and Europe_1GB_West_910_4952, tested, everything works like a charm
