I did the tutorial step-by-step and had already taken backups of my modules AB data. I also prepared the USB as set in the tutorial but I still get that pkg004 error
Then you have misconfigured Syn3updater.
That error states you are trying tu use the reformat on a later 3.4.xxxx build.
Post the log for the USB creation please.
you are correct. The version I currently have is 3.4 build 20196
What to do now?
Since you are not posting your log, I can only assume you have a wrong current version set in Syn3updater. Check those parameters.

Ok, there’s another issue.
You are forcing installation method to reformat, which is wrong.
Set it to autodetect
Since you are on 3.4.20196, you can’t use the reformat tool.
You need to downgrade and then reformat.
So let it to auto-detect, do not force anything unless you know what you are doing.
I sincerely appreciate your help, will try and report back.
You are welcome.
If you want, you can post the log for the USB you are creating now, so that we can check everything is fine before proceeding.

Appreciate it. The process is underway now. The pkg004 error disappeared after I checked to Autodetect. Will soon update your with the outcome.

Glad it worked, enjoy your new system.
Just remember to perform a master reset if you haven’t done so, and also disable auto updates or wifi altogether if you installed the latest 3.4 build.

FYI - It will not process auto updates as the hardware is not eligible for Sync 3.4. You can scan for them and it will tell you you are up to date. I have the same unit on the bench (test). You would need to disable auto updates if the unit was a MY18.5 or up, unless the unit was installed in a vehicle that did not come with Sync 3.2+. Like my 2015 F-150…
Yes mine had 3.4 before the I did the downgrade.
