That guy says, edit the install file of 3.08 (look at his two lines with [ B ] bold which doesn't really show bold properly :) But I do the same thing with 3.10 - just copy in the 3.10 original number to the Zodiac section, and increase the install version number by 1. That forces the install to start.

When the unit first does 7 packages, it then reboots, he pulls out the USB and puts back the original 3.08/3.10 file, and since the install has already started - it continues to install 3.10 to the end and it's nice and fresh.

I don't power off my unit like he does, upon the reboot it says it will wait for the USB stick to be put back, so I just pull it out about 20 seconds after the screen goes black to reboot, quickly copy the original install file back, and plug it back in.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] sensorial:
You can prepare such a ready for me. Pretty please.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] JasonACT:
Remember, keep the original, you need to replace this with the original on the first re-boot..
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] tigerpro357:
I had downgraded my unit from 3.10 to 3.08 once, I just copied the 3.08 files on to a USB then edited the file to make it look like a 3.10 update and it downgraded it back with no USB removing or anything, I may try that method and see if it works. I also figured out if you just copy install.bin to the USB, it will auto start the installer even if you already have MirrorLink installed.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] sensorial:
I have an old 4.32 now and I am hoping for a 5th packet with Spanish. I would like to use 3.08, but when I put the file on the pendrive, nothing happens
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] JasonACT:
I can't help then, I went directly from 4.32.14073 to 3.10.16180.

I tried to go to back to 3.08 (initial method to clean the system) but I lost factory nav!!! I will never try that again! I had to create some .png shockwave files to restore the VIN (which turned to 00000000000000000) breaking the license file.

But I had it all back after playing with it for a day.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] sensorial:
So if I have 4.32 now and installed this **** from Arab, then installing software 3.10 will help? You have a link to the Spanish language version, it's probably package 5
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] tigerpro357:
Factory Nav isn't all that great anyways, and that happened with all the sync 2 units from 3.08 on iirc, I didn't know there was a version higher than 3.10 for an update ...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] JasonACT:
https://www.fordownersclub.com/forums/topic/79328-update-sync-2-the-easy-way/

I guessed the 3.08 version to download for Australia by looking at the 3.10 version filename I had been told about... But that site lists where to get original files.

I need help as from software 4.32 and installation of a mirror file from Arab, upload 3.10 with Spanish
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] tigerpro357:
Out of curiosity, would it be possible to install a regular WinCE executable like explorer from WinCE 6? I'm still learning Win CE 6 and sync is a bit of a strange beast to me
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] JasonACT:
/Windows/explorer.exe is already there in Sync2, but its properties are set to "system file" which makes it hard to copy off to see its contents, and hard also to replace :(

Anyway, I think it would work if it were to be executed, I just have not tried... I cannot run it under the "system" user, so it would only have the same permissions as my own compiled C code - which I've already shown works.

Then, the Russian has installed a service (updater) which most probably does run as the "system" user... Maybe... Truth be told though, most of the rest of Sync2 is ShockWave and you already have full access to that without being "system".

I don't see a need to "explore" this further (is that a pun?)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] tigerpro357:
I wasn't saying "hey let's run explorer" I chose that as the file name, probably an oopsie on my part, but I do have other WinCE apps like iGo, and I was curious if it would be possible to run those on the shockwave system, I don't yet know how to compile an "install.bin" for that kind of stuff.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] JasonACT:
Yeah mate, sorry for any confusion, I was just explaining a bit about security on the Sync2 system (and Windows in general) but sure, you could run iGo... I've got a recent iGo system for WinCE too, which came with the Android version and updated maps I wanted, and bought on eBay for pennies. I bought it from the Chinese, used their apk to compare the executable crack changes they made to the same version apk still available to download, and applied those changes to my QNX OS factory software from the pre-Sync2 module in my car now. You may be surprised how similar ARM compiled programs end up being, even on different OS's.

FYI - I cracked the Russian's WinCE code by running it on a Raspberry Pi (with some open source windows load-library emulation code).

But the WinCE image is massive! You would have to trim it down for sure, remove all speech files you weren't interested in, and hope there's enough space the for map files (which are small really, being half the size of other navi systems)... But it's still a lot of work, and when your unit already has factory maps which are still being updated each year, not really something you would want to spend a month or 3 doing.

Anyway, shockwave, on the Sync2, had a nice way to run actual wince dlls, which is how most of this stuff is being done. Anyway, this is just "information"... and I'd probably find it interesting to read about, is all.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] tigerpro357:
Ahh ok, that's where I was getting lost, the dll I'm used to being the equivalent of a .so file on Linux, not the actual executable info, I know a little bit about OS code from my UT on a Galaxy Note 4 experience, but I'm unfamiliar with windows programming outside of VBASIC lol

what can i do
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Adam91Zabrze:
The paths are good for sure. If it does not enter the serial number, it displays to enter it, so it reads this file
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] PIOTR_9000:
it doesnt work, it just open a fast cmd window and close, i can create installer.jpg with decrypt cmd comand but cant with your app

Yes...

https://xdaforums.com/t/myford-touc...on-rear-view-camera-etc.3321397/post-86812071

As the post says, that download will install MirrorLink and VideoPlayer. Once that is installed (and verified as working) then you can install this "AddNavi" package that extends the first package. You need to run "encrypt.exe ABCD1234" (replace the 8 characters with your 8 digit Sync2 Serial Number, and put the resulting install.bin on a USB thumb drive in a folder called E:\SyncExtPack and wait for up to a minute for the Sync2 unit to detect it.

[DO NOT try and install this package alone, or first, or whatever.. They need to be installed in the right order.]

Edit:

To get the Russian Sync2 Update Installer in your car to use these 2 new packages, it started with a bunch of packages being made available here:

https://xdaforums.com/t/myford-touc...on-rear-view-camera-etc.3321397/post-86656907

Then I posted a program that specifically works on the D5 MirrorLink package here (3 posts, the 3rd has an exe to download which does the work):

https://xdaforums.com/t/myford-touc...on-rear-view-camera-etc.3321397/post-86781873

Once that's installed these newer packages will just install as described above.

If this part is too hard to do, then FYI - Someone else in this post:

https://xdaforums.com/t/myford-touc...on-rear-view-camera-etc.3321397/post-86807845

Has made the first part (Update Installer) easier with a full solution.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] JasonACT:
You probably can't update because you lost your serial number. One way to lose a serial number is to start an upgrade, pull out the USB stick on the first boot, and accidentally delete the vehicle database file on the stick's root... That file contained all your information, and without it, when the update finishes - it has not got the details to save back to the unit.

Attached are some shockwave programs. You can edit them with JPEXS Free Flash Decompiler [FFDec] and set the strings to what you want to try to see if you can get back the serial number, then try a software update.

Files include:

1/ Set APIM Serial Number

2/ Set APIM VIN

3/ Run the touchscreen calibration (does not require editing)

Rename after editing to .png and install as a new wallpaper and press the unlock button in the preview window - it should say "Navi Unlocked !!!" (you can guess where I started editing files from). Then check if your serial number has been restored.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Arburon:
Thanks for your care Jason, but I'm not understanding at all, it's my first time dealing with these.

If I understood you correctly should I just copy the files from encrypt folder in my usb and then plug it in the car (or should I also add my serial number in the decrypt.exe).

And then I should install AddNavi folder too? Is it a must to install this folder or not?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] tigerpro357:
Out of curiosity has anyone successfully re-calibrated their touchscreen? Mine is pretty off and whenever I try to recalibrate it, it just keeps looping, or is the program you have here different from the built-in WinCE one?

Detailed instructions

https://xdaforums.com/t/myford-touc...on-rear-view-camera-etc.3321397/post-86804115

But to make things clearer...

decrypt.exe SerialNum : Takes the 2 x D5 package files and decrypts them to CHK files, updates the serial number in those files and encrypts them again with your serial number to use on the thumb drive in your car. It also patches the install jpg for your serial number. Once this is done, you only need install.bin files to add more software.

encrypt.exe SerialNum : Is much simpler.. it takes one already unencrypted installCHK.bin file, updates to your serial number and encrypts with your serial number and produces a install.bin file to use on the thumb drive in the E:\SyncExtPack folder. With the update installer already on the car, it automatically sees the file and performs the install.

If this is not clear enough, DO NOT USE IT! You will just be coming back here for more help if you stuff it up!

It works well on my unit, I've calibrated mine with a stylus, but it is just the usual one from the diags (which I can't get into on the bench because I've not connected up the buttons).
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] JasonACT:
The source code is there for anyone to use... But, if you don't want to compile it, you could use a file-hexeditor and search for the 8 character D5 string and replace it with what you had in mind. There is very limited use for this sort of thing now though, I'd say.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Adam91Zabrze:
I have uploaded the installer.jpg file. I changed the file name from pack_installer.bin to installer.bin. I got an error:

Update Installer v1.1

Update file was found at: USB Disk\SyncExtPack\Install.bin

Error: BAD MAGIC HEADER

Install completed with errors, see log file

This window will be closed afre 10 secunds...

Mirrorlink did not work. In the wallpaper editing tab I have an installer.jpg that cannot be removed.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] JasonACT:
Yeah, bad magic header means it didn't decrypt the file properly for "some" reason (to have hex bytes BE EF BE EF at the start when decoded, file should end with DE AD DE AD too). Could be time related.. is the car's clock the exact same time and timezone as the computer you're using? Are you positive the right serial number was entered?

FYI - You also NEED to have installed one install.bin, which replaces installer.jpg with the Ford image - then you can delete it. Otherwise it just resets the unit every time you preview it.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] JasonACT:
Mate, my software requires the original file last write timestamp to be correct - and I don't think your github repo has saved the timestamps on the D5 files... So this is why it doesn't work for other members here. Upload a zip file instead - that should fix it.

(The two D5 files [pack_installD5.bin & updateD5.bin] should have a timestamp of 2018/12/17 for it to work.)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Adam91Zabrze:
Can you change the time zone in sync 2? Do I need to change it on the computer. Sync shows GMT + 1 and I have GMT + 2 on my computer

I generated files twice, so the serial number is rather good. Unless there was an error the first time and I installed installer.jpg, it has already loaded?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] JasonACT:
That should be close enough, the switchover point is once a month - try tomorrow and it might work.

Otherwise, you're just unlucky the update.bin part of it works but the install.bin part doesn't. Maybe change your user name - unlucky?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Adam91Zabrze:
Or is it the fault of the sync software? I have 3.62.5. I can update to 3.10?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] JasonACT:
No idea. I tried all this on a 4. something (older than 3.10) and it didn't work for me. I went to 3.10 and it did. Tried to go back to 3.08 and lost factory navigator - went to 3.10 again, hacked the VIN with one of my scripts and updated again to 3.10 and got navi back.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Adam91Zabrze:
Will try to update Sync to 3.10. Will this installer.jpg be deleted after this update? I will try to upload the mirrorlink again later.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] JasonACT:
You have to delete it yourself, once you install a package that replaces the shockwave jpg script with the Ford logo image.

Good luck mate!

Edit: yes, upgrading sync to 3.10 will wipe everything these hacks do to a unit.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Adam91Zabrze:
I understand. Do you have a scrypt that will replace this file with the logo? In case the mirrorlink does not want to be uploaded
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] COMpulse:
I found that my 113 and <ImageFPN> do not match.

113 = DA5T-14D212-AD

<ImageFPN>EA5T-14D544-AD

So i switched to using the ImageFPN. Still no luck.

Then I decided to try a different iswfpn. My Sync file shows 6 different applications with FPNs. So I went with the bottom one.

<FPN>EA5T-14F657-AD</FPN>

<Version>0.0.0.0</Version>

<Name>EA5T-14F657-AD</Name>

Not sure if that's the right one to use, but it downloaded a file. I'm kinda hazy this morning. How do I know which application's FPN to use?

(by the way -- Thank you's to all and awesome team work)

Okay, looking in autoinstall file, I see

Item1=BT4T-14D546-EE.cab

So I changed the iswfpn to BT4T-14D546-EE

It downloaded a small zip. Just 71k. Is that it?

will i run into problems here because I never confirmed my last sync update on the ford site?)

was there a sync update this month?

Final edit:

License installed.
