There’s something you can try on your end.
Syn3Updater does not handle the best way “not perfect” connections, and Ford’s servers do not help either…
You can try downloading the big files manually using a browser.
Use the Easily Update Your SYNC 3 Using Our Manual Method - CyanLabs to get the list of the files you need, download them and place them in the same folder you selected as download destination in Syn3updater.
Once the files are there, just run Syn3Updater: it won’t download the files since they would be found in the Syn3Updater directory, but they will be checked. If they are ok, the USB will be created.
I didn’t get the reformat option question, rephrase it and post an image.
Don’t mess with Advanced Options unless you know what you are doing, i don’t get why people mess around with these, they are in advanced options for a reason…
any way the new settings UI should prevent that hopefully
