Wow, you are the first one I have heard of that actually got the update over wifi to work!

 

VANTEER was the lucky one that got a WiFi download to complete, C130fe is still fighting with trying to get a USB install to work

Acool: Was out driving around today and any screen that I pushed a GUI icon, it would seem to reboot. I finally got it to the NAV page and it seemed to stay on that page the rest of the day. When I pulled in the driveway I tried selecting Settings -> General and then it immediately went blank. Waited abt 2 minutes and then did a manual reset by hitting the power+right seek buttons.. System rebooted, managed to get it to Home page before I powered down.

 

I see. @c130FE, good luck on yours, and congrats Vanteer!

 

To do the manual downgrade, edit the autoinstall.lst of the downgrade version you have to remove all item#/open# entries except for the pair for xxxx-14G381-xx. Renumber it to item1/open1.

Try again to downgrade

example, don't copy the example exactly because your filename may be different:


; SYNC3 Consumer Assembly Downgrade Example

[SYNCGen3.0_ALL]
Item1 = JL1T-14G381-AJ
Open1 = SyncMyRide\JL1T-14G381-AJ.tar.gz

Options = AutoInstall,Include

 

Thanks Acool. I am going to have to go back through this thread and some of the others to get more details on the various issues and workarounds you guys have found. A lot more going on than I had realized!

 

Success Acool !, followed those instructions and I am now running version 2.2

The update happened pretty quickly and rebooted automatically. Spent several minutes just pushing buttons, moving from one screen to the next with no problems

 

2016 F150 Platinum with NAV and Sync 3

I'm still chasing the problems of an unsuccessful upgrade from Sync3 ver 1.0 to ver 3.0, and am looking for some help from the brain trust of this forum. Immediately following the update, using the zipped file that I got from the owners.ford site, the screen became very unstable and would go blank, or lock up, or reboot after 3 or 4 button pushes on any screen. Acool was very helpful in getting me back to version 2.2 which initially seemed stable. But after starting the truck the next day I got an 'updates completed' msg and things were once again unstable, yet the software version shows version 2.2.

All of this headache started with the installation of version 3.0, and I'm wondering if it has anything to do with the sequence they are loaded in? Is there some sort of file corruption that is being caused by one of the tarballs loading something out of sequence and a pre-requisite file might not be there yet?

This is the sequence that the autoinstall is routine is following;

Item1 = HB5T-14G386-THA
Item2 = HB5T-14G386-TCB
Item3 = JR3T-14G391-CD
Item4 = JR3T-14G381-AM
Item5 = JR3T-14G423-CA
Item6 = HB5T-14G387-AAB
Item7 = GB5T-14G386-AB

First off, can someone shed some light on what each one of these tarballs is installing? Second, based on what you guys know about them, does this sequence seem logical or should they be re-ordered? Is some sort of corruption happening based on loading sequence? Should the load be broken up into 2 or more parts?

 

I do not have any definite information on the Sync software, but I would assume they need to be installed in the order contained in the autoinstall pacakage. You might try taking it back one version again, and reinstalling the update, to see if there might have been a file corruption on the previous update.

 

I don't remember what each item is, but you can open them in notepad or similar & look at them. Fairly easy to see what most of them are.

 

Sync 3 is upgraded and waze loads but bad lag
