My 2019 Expedition is running 3.4.23088 and Sync has recently started locking up, requiring soft resets to get it back. I have tried to run an update to 23188, tried to run the Interrogator tool, tried to run the RW Data Cleaner tool, but everything ends in the Instl\_err12 error. I’ve tried to do 2 soft resets in a row, and have tried the key cycle, but nothing is getting me past the install error. Thoughts?

Unfortunately, I spent 30 minutes doing the SR-\>SR-\>MR cycle, but the master reboot always immediately froze and never did anything.

I understand the frustration, but if the documented workarounds do not work, we do not be have anything else to recommend at the moment…

Is this the original APIM or is it a 4" upgrade kit?

It’s the original APIM. If there isn’t anything else that can be done, is there somewhere I can send it to have it reloaded or is a replacement the only option. I’m hoping not to give up my pre-MY20 APIM. Thanks!

You should have a K series APIM in there which is a pretty good one. Since none of the other situations apply it’s either a faulty APIM or you have the rwdata partition is getting full issue from a few previous versions.

You could get ahold of @NaviUpgrade and see what he could do for you.
