    I never managed to have this trick working...

    But there is a third way to fool TTH I have found and has been refined and tested with my friends at GBCNET.NET!!!

    Each time TTH installs a real navcore it will create a file called Application.tlv inside the folder called program, if the device (like my GO750) has both an SD and the internal memory the folder is located where the navcore is installed.

    This binary file contains info about the nc version and the files that TTH has installed. If this file is present, TTH compares this version against the official nc for the device and then decides to update it if it's different!

    The long way to generate this Application.tlv file is to let the latest TTH installs the official navcore for your device, then using a Hex editor (I use HxD, very simple and available in portable version too

    ) you have to replace the version with 9.999 and save!!!

    Here you are where to find the version to modify, this is my original file for my GO750

    The short way is to download the attached archive which contains an Application.tlv already patched to v9.999

    I would also add that Notepad + + works fine for modify the Application.tlv file.
    If you replace manually, you only need to change the original version number, nothing else.
    The n.c. version number that you need to change can be found in the first line of the opened file , after the word navigator.

    I do not know NP++ but this file is binary so if NP++ isn't able to just modify the single bytes needed it could render the file useless!
    Always make a backup first! I forgot to mention this on my guide!

    Default How to stop update of TTHome

    Since 03/05/2015 (last time TTHome caught me out) I have had (and still have) this mod in my \Program files\TOMTOM Home\xul\application.ini file:

    ; This field specifies your application's version. This field is optional.
    Version=2.9.9.2146

    Ten mins ago TTHome tried and almost succeeded in d/ling a "vital" update.
    Anyone experienced this and knows whether to accept?
    TIA.

    I just tried it (nothing to lose as I have a separate older/tweaked version that doesn't try to update for the under-the-counter maps etc)

    Nearly updated my official 2.9.8 and got a message:-
    "The Windows Installer Service could not be accessed. This can occur if the Windows Installer is not correctly installed. Contact your Support Personel for assistance"

    Yeah, right!!

    Bloody idiots!

    1. Clicking the notification link "http://www.gpsurl.com/showthread.php?t=239226&goto=newpost", received from your post update gives:
    "No Thread specified. If you followed a valid link, please notify the administrator"

    2. If I'm feeling brave (off on a five week Euro tour on Tuesday) I'll try setting the version to 3.9.9
