Honda Goldwing 2006-2008 Navi GPS Firmware Update Versions 4.60 & 4.70

No problem kunix, next week I will have two units, but both USA. So I will use your patch in an european bike of a fiend of mine.
I will open the second unit to find and use the hidden USB. I hope this port will be usefull.

That firmware linked in the first post does have a normal USB handler procedure inside. But this doesn't imply USB would work, of course.
So how are you going to use that hidden USB? Even if you would be able to connect and use Garmin USB protocol, that firmware doesn't seem to support command 0x60 which dumps regions.
And if you're not going to use Garmin USB protocol, then what are your plans? Are you trying to reach JTAG?

Uh, I didn't know this and I've no idea of what we will find. I am not alone and we will proceed according to what we will find.

Some update, the actual sd in use is a 4 gb hc with the same sys.bin file, only the gmapsupp.img and gmapprom.unl are updated.
The firmware is V 2.30.

@ carlinux i just want to remove the warning message, because appear even when the navi is not in use.
(2006-2008 navi can be shut down, 2009-2010 not, so it's on also when you display the audio system screen)

@all
how a gupdate file can be build?
I want to build a gupdate modified file for v 2.30, from where i can start?
I think i will need some basis on ARM architechture...

If you have sys.bin file exposed then this is probably the main firmware. You can load it with IDA (Interactive Disassembler) and [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] and proceed with your dark intentions. So you don't need to pack/unpack GCD files at all.

Hi pharmaweb hi have the 2.30 firmware?
if so you can put it to download?
I have some friends who want to return to the previous 2.60

spanish:

He's not the only one. Both some people want to downgrade from 2.60 to 2.30 and some other from 4.60 to 4.50. In any cases to 4.31.
It could be useful to know why your friend want to roll back.

@ Kunix
Thank you very much, i will try it.

@ErMonter

I have the sys.bin file not the gupdate.gcd. Moreover mine is a V2.30 from a US version unit MY 2009 that is different from 2006-08 units.
If you need it i will upload it.

The problem with the new firmware, whether America or Europe, is that reset on long trips and go very slow route calculation, as well as the impossibility of seeking Poi by name.
Even with version 2013.41 maps tell me that is not reset both

Spanish:
El problema de los nuevos firmwares, sean de America o Europa, es que se resetean en viajes largos y van muy lentos en el calculo de ruta, asi como la imposiblidad de buscar Poi por nombre.
Aunque con la version de mapas 2013.41 me indican que no se resetea tanto

Hello you can upload the sys.bin we see it?
The firmware starts the v.4xx American and European by v.2xx.
The gps of 2006-8 and 2009 are different because they use CF or SD cards, but the firmware seems to be the same.

Spanish:
Hola puedes subir el sys.bin que veamos que es?
El firmware de las americanas empieza por v.4xx y el de las europeas por v.2xx.
El gps de las 2006-8 y 2009 son diferentes ya que usan tarjetas CF o SD, pero el firmware parece ser el mismo

I've tried to implement a region dumper based on boot.bin taken from firmware from the first post: [Only registered and activated users can see links. ]

It should save regions 0x0E, 0x11, 0x13 as rgn0x0E.bin (and so on) on CF card and then reboot immediately.
It shouldn't break anything, as it doesn't flash any regions, but I'm not sure 100%, of course.
