Thread: Unlock Mio 7700LM to run iGo Primo - is that possible.

Unfortunately unlock menu which you are trying to use cannot work on your Mio, because it's not properly coded for this Mio type! And that's the reason you are stuck on the welcome screen. Mio 7700 gets commands in boot sequence from \My Flash Disk\Program Files\Navman\appstartupsec.ini file which is clearly missing in the unlock. Can you still connect device with the PC so you can see it's flash disk? If so, than It's not a big problem. If not, than the only way to un-brick it is from SD script.

Also please check MioMore app, there should be backed up files from your device if you really did a backup. You can manually search it, most probably is stored somewhere in My Documents folder..Or check Miomore settings where you can usually set path for a backup folder..If you find it, please send me a file device.xml which is located in the Flash disk root. From that file I can create SD version of the unlock which will solve the problem.

later edit:

I think I got the file so this SD unlock should do the trick:

unrar, and copy folders Magnetic_S5000, Progs and slide to empty fat32 formatted SD card. Restart device with the SD card. It should boot into a new ulock menu. Report back.

Hi janch - thank you very much for taking the time to read my posts and trying to help me, I appreciate it :-)

I have downloaded the file and will try to use it tomorrow - I will report back.

I know where the backup I made is stored (I made a new folder for it before taking the backup), however, it does not look to me like a straight copy and paste type of backup - the folders don't look to be in all the same places as they were when they were on the 7700LM internal memory.

Anyway, I am not really wanting to go back to the supplied software if I can help it. I like the way Primo works and would like to run it on this 7700LM.

I tried another unlock that had a folder called Magnetic_S5000 - it had to be renamed 'Default' top work. I will try your fileset in the way you have indicated and only chage the name if required.

UPDATE !

I have now tried the files you sent me. I did have to rename the 'Magnetic_S5000' to 'Default, but it now boots to a selection menu (pics attached) - pressing the 'iGo Primo' button leads to the erro shown in the pic - you will have expected that as you have not given me a folder containing the program yet, I assume :-)

I will wait to hear back from you.

Thanks again, I really appreciate your time and help.
