Tomtom 6.02 soft reset issue

[bonkey]

Hi,

I'm having some trouble with my TomTom 6.02. It wasn't pre-installed so i had to install it on my device. I've installed the mail app on the device itself and the maps and other crap on the storage card ( 2gb ).

Now the problem is that whenever i soft reset my orbit tomtom start up automatically. i found a folder in my windows dir ( /windows/startup/storage card/autorun.exe ) which is responsible for this trouble. I've tried to deleted it ( or rename it) but as soon as i make a soft reset the folder just comes back.

I also found the autorun.exe on my storage card ( /storage card/2577/autorun.exe ). after deleting this file and making a soft reset tomtom doesn't start up anymore, however if i start tomtom manually it tells me that there are no maps found. if i place the file back on my storage card tomtom start's up normally with all the maps.

I looked in the register but didn't find any links to the /windows/startup.... and yes i've tried to re-install tomtom twice now.

Does anyone had this problem or maybe knows a solution?

thx for the help

I had same problem where it always wants to re-install after sprite backup resets. Just re-name the folder named 2577 to eg. AB2577 and that stops the repeated installs. If you want it to auto install in future just re-name again to 2577 :cool:

the problem is, if i do this, tomtom doesn't find any maps anymore. it starts up, but with an error that there are no maps found.

I use this on version 6.03 without any problems, so you may want to try that as well. :rolleyes:

Hi,
First copy all the data onto a harddrive. Then delete the whole data on the sd Card and format the SD card. Then all you need to do is copy all the files into the SD Card this time using activeSync and it converts the files. This takes about 20-30 minutes. Leave it and then go to file explorer. Go to storage card and then go to 2577 folder. In this folder don't click on autorun instead run ttn ot ttn2003. I think this would solve the problem

i found a solution for this which worked for my for dopod P800W......first go to start/connections/bluetooth then go to FTP bar and then untick the "enable Bluetooth Explorer" then press ok......after this you can now delete the 2577 folder on your sd card......my device now finds the maps everytime i start tomtom and every soft reset the tomtom does not automatically start anymore......woooohooo.....

it works! Strange, cause bluetooth explorer wasn't enabled, I 'enabled/disabled' it and deleted the folder.

:confused: did you try turning it off and on again, sir? :rolleyes:

This is really weird...
I followed the instruction and all started to work just fine..
Then, just for the heck of it, I checked the "enable Bluettoth explorer" box again...
Guess what? It doesn't find the maps! If I uncheck it, it cmoes back to worki perfect...
Mystery...
