Help with mio A201 updates procedure.

[ahotandy]

Hi everyone.

I am wondering if anyone has used the Bluetooth update procedure.

I am new to PDAs and cannot work out how to get it onto the mio A201.

I have read the instructions which says.

Download and unzip the patch file to an empty SD/MMC memory card, copy the 2577 folder to root folder.

I'm sorry but I might be thick but where is the root folder?

I would appreciate if anyone could help me.

Thanks in advance Andy

Hi, I have just purchased a Mio A201 and can find no reference to updates and no mention of updates in the support area of their website. Could yoy tell me where you downloaded the patch file from.
Thanks.

I just updated the firmware with the patch on both of my A201's and now they both display the same device code which is different to the previous one and so Tom-Tom does not work on either unit.
The previous trick of putting a false activation code in first time does not work either.
Anybody got any ideas. I feel like sending the units back and getting my money back from Mitac.

You also need to download the Free update to v5.21 from the TT site.
