    I would try it anyway.
    1. Clearflash clears your flash/cache memory and not your internal memory.
    2. I think it won't hurt your device as more as it is now.

    It looks like you are having a problem with your internal memory.
    Is it possible to access the device from a PC without a SD card in it?
    If so you could format the internal memory to see if that works.

    By the way, what are the first 2 digits of the serial number of your device? You can find that mostly at the bottom of you device.
    In my

    , you can find some details about you device. For instance how big the internal memory is.

    Your One is the first One made and don't have internal memory, only SD card.
    What about your bootloader, are you still using the original ?
    As the bootloader controll youre hardware, maybe an update is needed or a restore of the original.

    The Bootloader is 53026 which I have looked up and appears to be the original one for the Tomtom one XL with an Internal Memory. Will it be the same Boot for my TT One XL with no Internal Memory as I can't find any reference to the Boot for my TT anywhere.

    If I go by the numbers then that is one of the first boot loaders. I have today received an old One without Xl and there is an even older one namely 5.0500
    It keeps trying, I'm not sure, but would you dare to update the bootloader to 5.5128 for example ?

    Updated the Bootloader to 5.5128 as you suggested and on restart when adding the language, Voices etc. it still shows the message "Unable to Store settings". The Tomtom still appears to be working ok as it loaded the Map and found satellites ok.

    Running out of options I think.

    Thanks again for your help and suggestions.

    I'm afraid you're right.
    But if we go back in time, mapsettings.cfg will be created.
    I assume that the ttgo.bif file has also been created, it contains the latest data, such as:

    [TomTomGo]
    DeviceName=TomTom One XL
    DeviceVersionHW=ONE XL
    DeviceSerialNumber=L14227L00857
    DeviceUniqueID=XXXXX XXXXX
    RamDiskVersion=20130404
    BootLoaderVersion=55279
    LinuxVersion=547200
    ApplicationVersionVersionNumber=9510
    ApplicationVersion=1234792.2
    UserLanguage=Nederlands
    UserName=
    LastConnectionTime=Never
    CurrentVoiceInfo=Claire
    CurrentMap=1040_Benelux
    CurrentMapVersion=1040.9800
    CurrentHomeLocation=51.93066,4.58973,85 Koperwiek, Capelle Aan Den IJssel
    Traffic=N
    CurrentFuelpricesType=
    CurrentFuelpricesTypeString=
    CurrentFuelpricesLastFullUpdate=

    And many more.

    Here are a number of settings that you have to enter again and again, which is not the intention.
    The message that something cannot be written may lead us astray because there is indeed a mapsettings.cfg.

    Next test, I assume you have a copy of the whole system somewhere?
    In that case I want to propose both the map settings. cfg and the ttgo.bif file, a hard reset and restart.
    You will of course end up in the same routine again, but once there you can check whether both files have been recreated.
    If that is the case, then we are left with the question, what cannot be written?

    Some problems cannot be explained, I have a large number of ttgo.bif files from various TomTom users, who all had a problem with something, for example, could not patch.
    After creating a working system for them it worked in 99 out of 100 cases, later they were able to perform the trick themselves, it was usually impossible to find out where exactly the error was.

    Don't give up, just keep going.
    Mind your mailbox, please.

    Mind you, with Bootloader 5.5128 you can use bigger SD cards (up till 16 or 32 Gb)
    Maybe you can try an other SD card. Copy the
    contente of the old SD card to a new one and looks what happens.
    If it works and you use a 8 Gb or bigger, you can install the big maps like Europe_1045 (about 4Gb)

    Good idea Peter but unfortunately the error message is still coming up with an 8Gb Sd card and 5.5128 Boot.

    I removed the mapsettings.cfg and the ttgo file and did a reset and both files were recreated where they should be. I've checked my mailbox.
