A dummies guide to patching NAV3 using TTActivator

yes 4.3 "screen would be 12.075.3065980.84
bad 12.075.3065980.94
I tried to remove the battery, I do not remember exactly what I did, I did several things I only remember the battery
even connect the tomtom to the PC and without turning off the disconnect button, it is something similar to what is done when a PC bucle

Think I just solved it. First I did recovery mode. The weird thing was that it opened with a loading on the screen before a black screen appeared. Without opening any program, I connected it directly to upload_ttpkg manually. With using this I uploaded navcore and it worked.

The problem now is that I uploaded a TTactivator map and there is appearing a error on the screen: Central_Europe_North-102605. And it is saying that the card is not working. But this was not the map I uploaded. A other map (Central Europe North) I did uploaded appears after I press the 'OK' button and it works. So what do I have to do so that the first error doesn't occurs? Because the device has just one map uploaded no others. And this one is working.
Thank you again! Regards!

Well I'm glad your tomtom is working for you.
the one that sees 2 maps and really only has 1 and working, it is because that map that appears but is not there is because it has still remained in the registry.
I don't know how I delete the map that comes out but it doesn't work, I imagine with TTActivator, if it's not very annoying, keep it up.
If you want to start from 0 with the maps, connect MyDrive connect, it will repair the maps click and delete them if they are not original from tomtom,
If you still have the original map, give it to uninstall, you will run out of maps later with TTActivador install the ones you want.
I leave it to your choice and risk.

Yes, you are right. You give me good idea's and helped me well, appreciate it. I will do the things you said. thanks

Try to download and install the nav3-sayville map better

I tried this already both on it's own and with another map (UK_and_Ireland I believe ?) . Same result unfortunately .
I will test it again though to be sure .
Thank you for the suggestion though .

I had the problem before or was it when putting a new map?
has updated satellites can update with TTActivador.
The navcore it has is, 12.075.3065980.74, I don't know what screen it has but I think it should be, 12.075.3065980.84
if the screen is 6 "it would be 12.075.3065980.94
If you can't get it to work, you should think about doing recovery mode and starting all over from scratch, maybe with so many attempts some software has failed.

Thank you for the suggestion and apologies for the long delay (Family/work/personal problems)
I did indeed change from .74 to .84 with some success . It was MDC that updated the device to .74.
The device had not been connected for some time and I do not recall what it was previously/didn't take note .
Anyway ,using .84 the device appears to function normally once a route is set and you DO NOT TOUCH the device .
I have had 4 "random" restarts now during the same testing session .
One when touching the screen to change route after following a completed route.
One for no obvious reason (Not touching the device and no obvious vibration or movement of the device).
And two whilst making adjustments mid route .
These "random" resets act just like a power interruption where the unit will power off and restart where it left off .
Mid route it will just reacquire satellites and carry on where it left off .
If no route was being followed it will just reset back to "initial boot up" status and carry on as normal.

If left to run and follow the route the device seems fine .
I have checked power connections and the lead and cannot repeat or force the device to reboot .
This does not mean it wasn't user error with the lead not being connected properly however .
But I did experience 2 of the reboots after checking the power was connected properly .
So I would how this eliminate most of the user error and indicate that the problem is more one of a software issue/incompatibility.
I do feel more testing is required however .
Also I do not expect a device that has firmware not intended for it and running "Adjusted" maps to work as a factory fresh TomTom unit would .
But I do think there is a certain level of compromise (that varies from one person to the next) that most people find is acceptable .
For occasional use I would be happy to use the device as is . But for day to day use I think it would be a lot more usable with a touch more finesse .

Thank you for the advice so far .
I'm almost there . Just a few more things to try and plod on with .

In either case the patch is for .74 .84 .94
One question, I ask is your battery okay, even if it has a minimum charge? Let me explain when you unplug the power cord, the device remains on for at least 1 minute? or when it loses power does it turn off?
