[SOLVED]Chinese NoName GPS 3.5"

---

I have an older chinese GPS receiver where I wanted to change the link in menu and replaces file ResidentFlash/mobilenavigator/mobilenavigator.exe with mort script. The original file is in the same folder but with the name mobilenavigator_old.exe After reset I see boot loader going without any errors then see sand clock sign, and then black screen with nothing on it but it's responding on clicks with the sound. No ActiveSync connection with the device, however PC "feels" the USB device and recognizes it as "SEC S3C2410X Test B/D". Installing SECdriver doesn help, no connection. Placing various files and folders on SD doesnt help, I tried 2577/Autorun.exe , shell.ini , YFGo2CE.bld , neither of those help. There is original folder on SD called mobilenavigator and there is original path mobilenavigator/2577/Autorun.exe but nothing works.

The device itself looks exactly thike this one: http://www.100-gift.com/custom_produ...35-301096.html The processor ARM926M 266MHz, Pictures of menus taken from another forum are here: http://img140.imageshack.us/img140/5398/oldg750.jpg and here: http://img102.imageshack.us/img102/1070/gps.jpg Any help would be very appreciated, I need to fix this animal as soon as possible.

SOLUTION:The device called Menq v350 (too long to explain how I found it out) or it's twin called BluePanther v350. The BluePanther has firmware on the web here: http://pdaplus.hu/content/view/4276/1/ I removed BOOT loader from firmware to make safer upgrade and upgraded the device. Now it works great.

Hello brack11,

Thanks to your posting, I can now identify my chinese pna.

I would be most obliged if you could share how you removed the BOOT loader from the firmware.

Also my unit is running Win CE 4.2. I have no problems loading iGO 8, Amigo and Primo. However loading Garmin still eludes me till today. I understand from other forums that it would be a whole lot easier if the device was running Win CE 5. Any chance you think of flashing this chinese pna to WinCE 5?

Hope to hear from you soon, regards.

If your unit has wince version lower than 5 then yours must be different from described, what serial number or product code you have there?

Thanks for the quick reply, brack11,

There are two sets of numbers on the back cover:
1. Below the barcode: 0420080006
2. Another sticker with: KW-GM3505A080300414

Googling Bluepanther V350 and Menq V350, I did notice that some specs showed with Win CE 4.2 loaded whilst some come with WinCE 5.0. I suspect therefore that there might be a possibility that different WinCE versions may have been loaded at different time of manufacture. This I am hoping gives me the possibility of upgrading to WinCE 5.0.

Anyhow, while looking at the registry, I stumbled on HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\OEM with values: Platform "SINCHUN" and OEM "SG-N350G"

Googling SG-N350G also confirmed that my unit appears identical to the images you posted.

What do you think? Regards.
