Error issue on apim

[SFRANCO (Hades)]

I have an Mi-20 APIMP. I did a reformat, and now it’s at the screen asking for a USB to be inserted. When I insert a USB, I get a red screen. I understand this could be due to corruption, wrong/format, or a defective USB, but I already tried three different USBs and get the same error. I don’t know which version it had before the reformat. After a while i Iit goes to the red screen error"Error in 4U5T-14G421-CCG_1709587982000. TAR.G2 : "when I try the update and won’t let me finish. My question: is there a way to know what version it had before, or how can I fix this? Apim gr26a-5u5t-14g371-lpa

That file name is wrong, maybe it’s a typo, maybe not.
Take a photo when the error appears, it’s important to see the time at which it happens.

Also, share a screenshot of:

• the SyncMyRide folder’s content (extensions visible)
• the contents of the reformat.lst file

2/3rd of the requested information is missing, but a red screen at 1 hour tells me that your issue may be (all or a combination of):

• using a potato as an USB device, use a decent Sandisk pendrive
• your USB HUB is dying / toasted
• your wiring is bad

If none of those are the real issue, then the APIM is just bad and can’t handle proper package processing. Full NA packages with NAV should take about 20-30 minutes in reformat, EU less than 60 minutes…

Got it working ty

Great, glad to hear.
How did you get it to work?.

I use the 2020 maps, but when I tried the 2024 version it gave me an error. After trying for a while, I just decided to turn off the navigation and use it as a GPS module instead

Hey @SaNdMaN you got knowledge on firmware repairs for apims ?

[SaNdMaN]

I don’t, but I think there was a post somewhere about failed firmware updates… I will edit this message if I find it…

Also, I’m sure @F150Chief knows about that…

I use the 2020 maps, but when I tried the 2024 version it gave me an error.

2020 maps are non-ESN not locked.
