Please describe in detail your issue below

Hi all,

I was following the upgrade procedures and everything was going well, until the above mention red screen message popped out. It seem the error came during the process of installing the gracenotes file.

I have tried search through the forums here and have not find any similar cause. So looking for some expert advise.

Note, I did re-run the process already, and the only uncertain part now is perhaps this may be related to the Gracenotes file been too big for my system?

Thanks for reading and for any advise you may have.

Hi.

Where you able to install everything but gracenotes?.
That seems to be the issue as you pointed out.
I found some threads regarding this issue, but they are not directly linked since they were NA units, or upgrades from 3.4 to a newer build.

Let’s wait for the experts.

Also, I think I had read somewhere that after you install your system without gracenotes, you could actually install them afterwards separately.

Finally, do not force install methods unless you know what you are doing.
Which tutorial did you follow?.

Hi,

I was able to successfully complete the installation while waiting for the response. Here is what I’ve done…

Because the problem was suspected to be the gracenotes, and from my reading that this file is often omitted to allow space for bigger update files, I have decided to try to install without it. This was simply done by removing the installation command for gracenote in the reformat.lst file, and I have also remove the gracenote file from the USB for just in case.

The installation when through smoothly, with the App and Voice gz files installed, and ended with a green screen telling me it is safe to remove the USB drive. I have reset to factory default after it rebooted, and tried all the device connections without any problems. Seems it is all okay now.

Now I am not sure what I am missing from not installing the gracenotes, but please let me know if there are any potential issues with what I have done.

Again, thanks for reading. Cheers.

Hi,

Thanks for your note. I will try to dig through the forum to see if there are any instructions or issues with installing gracenotes afterwards. I would like to have them if I can, although not sure what are the benefits. Ha.

Thanks again! Cheers.

Gracenotes is basically art work for the media player, for instance if you are playing back some USB songs without album art, maybe gracenotes will show something nice.
Not essential, as you can see…

Please, read these topics:

Tutorial: No Gracenotes After Sync 3.4 Installation. Manual Installation Instructions

After installing Sync 3.4 thru the Syn3 Updater, depending on the region you may not see Gracenotes installed on the vehicle. This is due to Sync hardware storage limitations for current or future installations and the deletion of Gracenotes was necessary to upgrade to Sync 3.4 because of the increased file size of the newer app. (Sync 3.4 is nearly twice the size as Sync 3.2/3.3) However, depending on the storage available after the upgrade, it is sometimes possible to re-install Gracenotes man…

I have a 2017 Fusion Non-Nav. Pre-requisite… I was on the following for a couple of months: APP: 3.4.19274 VOICE: 3.2.19345 GRACENOTE: 3.3.18082 I decided to use the new updater application to get to 3.4.20196 with no luck. Was stuck at updating system for over 40 minutes. After reading another post on this forum I realized I didn’t have enough storage to do all three at once. Using the automatic part of updater app, I downgraded to (According to the APIM diag info): APP: 3.3.19052 VOI…

The first one is the tutorial to manually add gracenotes after a successful upgrade, and the other one is a “context” to the previous tutorial.

You may see that maybe your situation is similar.
