Hi!

I see that You found solution for Magellan Roadmate. It's great.

I have the same issue with my Maestro 4210, but I couldn't find any information how to restore this device. Actually I've tried to do everything like You wrote before, but nothing. :(

OS Update was complete but after restart device don't startup from SD. Maybe this is problem with "AutoRun" file, I mean in the name of this file. Maybe for 4210 It's gonna be another one.

So, if somebody know answer for my issue, PLEASE HELP ME!!

Tnx a lot.

ROADMATE 1200US - backup file of memory

I did the first steps and I could see in my computer the TFAT and "removable disk" when I connected RM1200 to USB port. I also did update using Magellan_RoadMate_1200_1215_2_03 but after update it is asking for SD card. I saw update has Europe basemap. Do you have the US version memory backup so I can use it to restore my RM1200US?

Thanks a lot in advance, Florin

PS I have US map SD card that I checked is working in another unit. Unfortunately that unit has a broken USB port so I can not use it to get the necessary files.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] PhyrePhox:
I have tried to follow the instructions, and have tried copying the files both from my backup of TFAT and from the Magellan_RoadMate_1200_1215_2_03 file. All I get is a blank white screen. I can mount the device on the computer, and copy files to it, and I can access the bootloader and update the software, but all I get after is a progress bar on a white screen (no "Magellan"), and then white. the screen dims after a moment, and if I tap where the "OK" button usually is, I hear a tone, but then nothing else happens. If I tap around on the screen for a while, it reboots. I cannot see sysview. I can access the device from the computer, but I don't know what else to try to copy over.

Need a ROM for Magellan Maestro 3225

My Magellan Maestro 3225 stopped working after I tried to change the splash screen. I went to the Bootloader and formatted the HD. I need the ROM disk image (winceimg.bin) for Maestro 3225 on the SD flash drive so I can reinstall the OS and have the GPS unit recognized as a USB drive again. Then I can re-write the MAP, SYS, USR and APP folders which I already backed up. Is there a way to fix the Magellan 3225 GPS unit?

can anyone please send me a copy of the WINCEIMG.BIN

Hi guys, I can't use the "Magellan_RoadMate_1200_1215_2_03.exe " file, because when I double click it, it started an installation process which my Magallen 1200 does not work with it.

My question is - can any one send me a copy of the WINCEIMG.BIN ( lenght 5979759 bytes, from 2007-12-14 17:18:48) ??

I totally screwed up my GPS unit with a 32M WINCEIMG.BIN file; I am desperate to get it back alive.

Thanks a lot!

It all kind of worked.

Hello everybody,

Well I tried HarryA's second version of how to reset my roadmate 1200. Seeing as I did not have the original magellan 1200's backup files I had to try and copy the winceimg.bin and winceimg.cks files to the SD card. I did the reset and it got the magellan to a file manager screen, but once I get to that screen, I cannot click anything, it is as though the screen is frozen. Oh and by the way I also never saw the "Please remove SD Card" message that is supposed to appear. This is the furthest I have gotten to fixing this problem and I'd appreciate any help.

Thank you.

SD card

I have a Roadmate 1200. The SD card is bad. Can I just download a new card? What do I need to do to make this work?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] VanNistelrooy:
hi guys i've still this problem, my magellan is frozen on the sysview page, i've tried all of your methods, but nothing... the problem is that i can't connect my gps tu my pc... on the screen i can see the message "usb connect" but the tfat folder doesn't appear! can you help me?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] hatekast:
I have also bricked my Unit doing the current OS update offered by Magellan. But I have the original backup files from my Magellan 1200. Turns out I made a backup! Found it on my old desktop that is now sitting collecting dust. So if anyone needs them I can send them no problem. You might need to edit the Unit_ID.dat file and put in your Serial # but it should work.

The problem I’m getting now is after I copied the backup files to the TFAT drive, its states

“SD card has been removed. Program will restart. Please insert SD Card with map”

I never touched the SD card that came with the unit, ie., format, and or recopied the maps. This is the original untouched SD card! I do have another card I tested by coping the Maps over, but I’m still getting the same Error. Is there some sort of master rest to get the maps working?

Thanks!

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] orbphobic:
If anyone can offer me some help I would greatly appriciate it. I have read the pages from begin to end about 3 times and have followed all the instructions on fixing the gps but no luck. The SD card i had had to be reformatted so all of the info on it was gone. I have no backup of any of the files but from reading the forum that did not seem to stop others from restoring their GPS devices. I initially created the APP folder and included in it all WIN files but that was useless. The GPS always started and upon completing the loading it would go into Sysview. I turned the gps on in program mode by pressing the reset and power button and i tried to do an update that way but that just made it worse. Now when i turn the gps on the progress bar does not even more anymore. Can anyone offer some advice please? I really do not want to use this gps as a door stopper. Thank you in advance.

Roadmate 1200 problems

Hello all we have been forgotten so i don't think where not going to get too much help.

1st to all the people looking to make there SD card work with new maps.

Give up it's never going to happen.

Install mio poket and use the maps there. or igo

For us Fools (myself inc) that have wiped out the os on the roadmate 1200

I have been able to get the unit up and running to be able to push buttons and file system that's as far as I got.

what we need are screen shots.

If anyone with a working 1200 can take a screen shot of the file system (tfat) so we can put the right files back this would be a great help words are good but photo's are better.

mabey with this info we can get some where .

:eek:

PS this is what worked for me see below.

I try to debug file WINCEIMG.BIN and ........ found solution !

It's very simple. I used a SD-CardReader in my PC. Ok, lets run ...

1). Format or clean SDMMC Card (min 64MB)

2). Make in root folder of SDMMC Card file 'GC333AutoRun.inf'. Contens of this file is:

open=\APP\mgnShell.exe

3). Make in root folder of SDMMC Card folder named 'APP'

4). Copy to this folder all files from the backup file of memory (I have this file)

5). Insert SDMMC Card into RoadMate

6). Turn on RoadMate and reset

RoadMate starts with WinCE, then starts file 'mgnShell.exe' from 'APP' folder of SDMMC Card.

'mgnShell.exe' file is a main module of communication subsystem.

Now you can connect USB cable to RoadMate and to your PC. RoadMate is working as USB Storage !

In Windows XP 'My Computer' environment RoadMate's memory is shown as two removable discs:

- first is TFAT or TFAT32 labeled

- second is without label

Use Copy/Paste method to copy all necessary files to RoadMate. This is why i can go no farther --WHAT FLIES DO WE COPY??????? What are the necessary files???

Good luck for everyone !

Don't bother with Magellan Software

A few days ago i was at the "replace sd card" stage and totally ignorant but now i have two sd cards one with igo8 and several maps and the other with miopocket3.Both cards boot when inserted.

I deleted the Navigator.exe file in the TFAT/APP folder and all the other folders and when the unit is turned on it just goes to the blue screen with Magellan and looks like usb storage and can be fiddled with.

Reread Harrys posts and read gpspassion forum posts about roadmate and mio pocket and you will get there eventually.

White screen on Magellan 1200

OK, I'm stuck at a white screen and need help. I've read all the instructions at least 10 times, followed them to the letter, and my Magellan 1200 is still stuck at a white screen. The unit has been reloaded with Windows CE Core 5.0 (the WINCEIMG file) several times per HarryA's instructions, and all the backup files (downloaded) have been installed. It connects to the USB port of my XP box. I can see the unit from my computer, the TFAT has all the files, it even took the current software update from Magellan (1.50) with no complaints. But upon reboot, all I get is the blue Magellan screen followed by a totally white screen.

*****Update****1/9/2010**

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=2142285&postcount=59

Ok, let try another way ...

I used files from "Magellan_RoadMate_1200_1215_2_03.exe"
1). Extract all files.
2). Take from folder 'COPY_GROUP_1" file WINCEIMG.BIN ( lenght 5979759

bytes, from 2007-12-14 17:18:48)
3). Take CLEAN !!! SDMMC Card.
4). Copy WINCEIMG.BIN to root folder of SDMMC Card
5). Make on your PC a text file named WINCEIMG.CKS. Contens of this file

is:

binsize : 5979759
checksum: 0x24DB1E5F

6). Copy file WINCEIMG.CKS to root folder of SDMMC Card

Now you should restore operationg system from SDMMC Card.
To do this:
1). Push Power and reset button, go to the Bootloader menu
2). Choice 'Update OS (HDD Format)' option by pushing 'Reset' button
3). Push 'Power' button to confirm operation and bide until message

'Please remove SD Card !' appear :)
4). Remove SD Card from RoadMate and reset

Now your RoadMate starts with 'clean' WinCE 5.0 Core and you should see

SysView on the screen.
Follow my previously instrucion to restore the rest of files :)

Good luck :)

HarryA
(Hope never die)

I Did as these instructions said. It completed like said and told me to remove the card. AS soon as i removed i got a white screen. Then i pushed the reset button. Unit restarted and now the loading bar scrolls about 60% and then stops and goes to a plain white screen.! Whats going on? What am i missing ppl? IM thinking that scroll bar is supposed to go all the way. Right?. Help please. At least now im getting the scroll bar to move.. but i need to finish this.
