RNS510 Software Loading Error - What do you do ?
« on: March 11, 2013, 01:15:00 pm »

As the title says " What do you do if you get a failed upload on your RNS510 "

I'm interested to see what other do, in terms of starting over.

I tend to see this error code a lot (010306), and I'm interested to understand how other's manage it  :happy2:

Cheers

I'm no expert but have you tried using the SWL recovery disc.
http://vwnavi.com/volkswagen-factory-fit-navigation-systems/rns-510-mfd3-navi-system/firmware/13672-unofficial-272x-software-swl-recovery-cd.html

"SWL recovery CD - in case if your unit is stuck with Gateway Error 202 or some other failure occurs during the upgrade and unit is unable to boot up afterwards. It's based on latest 398x software but can be used to recover RNS-510 running any software version - just insert it and start a new SWL process by pressing Setup + Eject + Info/Mic/whatever top right button. It will try to restore basic coding (including TestMode) and finish SWL, and if your unit is not completely damaged, it will boot up  Support for EU/US/CHN units".

I'm up and running, with both F/W and Maps, so fingers crossed I don't need the above.

I was more wondering. what people did when this (010306)  appeared on screen 1/4 the way through a firmware install. Hence the reason for the poll  :happy2:

Hoping it'll help others in the long run, if we get a general idea on what everyone does, if and when F/W fails to install  :fighting2:
