Does anyone have the genisys 4.0 2010 or 2011 install software cd? I just recently upgraded And would kinda like to know how much data the 4.0 upgrade actually uses seeing as 4gb cf cards are a requirement for ver 4.

If anyone could help me out, I'd be willing to share a few tips. I was able to figure out how to activate the latest version using the old security cards.

I am intrested but I do not have the info you need. I have Genisys and Mac Mentor with 2003 software and secuity cards for them both, would love to upgrade them both if possible.

I am also using the 2003 smart cards. Only problem that I have seen upgrading was that it seemed as though the smart cable is required to do pretty much anything. I only got the cable with the ssi inserts so I really don't know if it works correctly. But it is a long and tedious process that I had to go through which I can try to help walk you through but you gotta be a little cpmputer savy. It involves a lot of hex editing and also an extra cf card.

Well guys I just thought of a way to make the installation to simply just writing a disk image to cf card. I want to do it this way for a few reasons. Simplicity and I'm not really ready to share how I did it just yet. I'm thinking of enabling up to 07 or 08 for now. Just to show as proof. I'm here to share knowledge not help people make a quick buck. But give me a day or two and I'll have something

Sorry for the lack of updates people. Have been busy with work and life. Anyway I was finally able to come up with a crude patching solution that will work with what I'm trying to accomplish. I just found my old smart cards and will be testing out my custom cf card image to see if it all the activation and patching works right.. I'm really hoping to get it out tonight. So sit tight people there will be something coming.

Ok file is being uploaded as I type this message should be done within the next hour or so. The link to d/l can be found at hxxp;//www.4shared.com/folder/Oy7DSeXj/eventually a file named gen05.rar will appear.

*installation&notes*
You will need to have a 1gb cf card. If you don't have a spare cf card to use *remember* to make a backup image. Just extract the files and write the image file to cf card using the supplied program or any compatible raw disk imaging program like dd. Once the image is written to the cf card. Put the card into your scantool and turn it on. Now make sure you have your old smart cards as they are needed to install the software. Now just follow the onscreen prompts. If you get a screen that says improper shutdown checking disk. Just wait a bit for the disk check to finish. It'll automatically restart itself and continue with install. After you finish With the setup/installation the scantool will restart itself and load up into the familiar application manager interface.

Some programs may not work. But I'm sure abs, domestic, import, and European will work. What's installed on the cf card is: System 4.0, 2005 domestic, 2005 import, 2005 european, and 2004 abs.

So go ahead and try it out and give me some feedback. One other note this disk image is still beta. But I do believe I got most kinks worked out for a trouble free install.. Oh I almost forgot you may want to create a backup of your internal cf card just in case. It's located inside your scantool and the only way to get to it is by opening up your genisys.

I suck at documentation and am a very busy person. So last thing I got to say is. Try at your own risk. Be smart and make backups of your cf cards. It works on my scantool and it should work for yours. If you run into any problems, let me know and I'll try to help you get up and running

Great work, all seems ok with System 4.0 upgrade, now I have
TPMS working up to 2010 ALL Markets
ABS working up to 2010 ALL Markets
SRS Working up to 2010 ALL Markets

The USA, Asian and European Diagnostic only goes to the year on the smart cards.

This is BIG BIG Progress and a million miles better that where I was stucked with all 2002 software.

If you know how to get GM SPS going that would be nice :hahaha:


GREAT WORK

i kinda rushed the release but i will have that fixed. i'm pretty sure it has something to do with the way i was applying the patches.

im pretty sure i can get that to work. i was actually lazy and didnt bother to try to patch that.

well atleast there is interest in this thread. i was hoping there would be more people trying it out using different year smart cards and giving feedback but oh well.

In earlier post you mention a Disk Image software "DD", what software is this ? I wish to make backup of my internal card and save it to a file on my PC . Also is it possibe to change the Internal card to the 1Gb one that has system 4.0 on it hoping that this will speed up boot time with fsater CF card.

Regards

dd is actually a unix utility, but it does have ports to other os's. you can just use the program i included with the img file to create a backup of your cf card.

i havent tried swapping out the internal card and booting from it, but i tHink the cause of the slow bootup time is due to the old genisys hardware i believe the evo is a lot faster.

ok this has been long over due. but i've gotten all the bugs worked out. just extract and write the image onto your cf card with dd. Just follow the screen prompts and be sure to have your smart cards handy, you will need them to activate the software. You will see messages saying that an older version is being installed but just go through and finish the installation. After it reboots you will see that the newer version is actually installed. here's whats included:

System 4.0
USA 2009 Asian
USA 2008 European
USA 2009 Domestic
TPMS 2009
ABS 2009
And some others but not tested.

*note*
if you don't have the smart card for a particular software. It won't be activated.. Sorry

Everything went just as you stated with no itch at all.
Now all my software are up to 2009, although my Smart Cards are at 2002. GM SPS is also now loaded BUT it will need the smart card.
I have not tested it on a unit as yet but from all indication all seems well so far.
Once again and I will post any other findings over the next few days as I will be testing it on different cars.

Thanks again. :top:

Well you're welcome. I know it's pretty much a requirement to use the new smart cable on most cars. But I believe it all works like it's suppose to. Seems like not many people are intrested in the genisys though. It ain't a hoax but whatever.. Enjoy

Hi bibms I appreciate all your work on this!!!!
Can you any cf with this update, any size any brand?

I will try your method on a friends mentor, I am not sure what version he currently has. If it is a newer version, what could you use from it to help you develop another update for that version?

Thanks again

Only requirement is you need to have a 1gig or larger cf card. And to be able to use the software to it's full potential you need to have the new smart cable, though you can still use the smart inserts but your options are very limited to the amount of cars you can use it on

I tried it on a friends mentor it worked as you stated. It took like 50 mins to update not sure if this is common. It seems to stall twice the first was the longest and it is after the heavy duty, took like about 35 mins it was the "Installing USA 2008 Domestic Release 1.03" screen. The next screen it stalled about 5 mins it was the "Installing usa 2008 abs/airbag release 1.01". The other screens went relatively fast.

He originally had ver 3.0 2008 dom, asian, abs & 2003 euro can you any of his data? What about the smartcard data? I was also wondering if you have to use the correct smartcards when the install asks for it, just in case you do not have the one it asks for?

Let me know if there is any data you would like me to upload.

Thanks again for your hard work :beer:

Most likely you were using a slow cd card. From my experience it takes about 15-30 minutes. And yes you need to have the original smart cards that you used to authorize the old software. You can't interchange smart cards. So you have to be sure you have the correct smart card inserted before you proceed after each prompt.

It won't damage your card. If you are familiar with command line do a search for 'dd win32' otherwise use the program that I included in the gen05 rar.. FYI the image to use is the 09 one. The first one had problems.

FYI people I don't want to hear complaints about so and so not working when you don't even have the smart card to authoriZe that portion of the software. For example don't expect import to work when you only have a pathfinder smart card.

Thanks.. I will definately check it out when I can. I totally agree with you about the members who are only here to take for their own benefit (most likely for their pocket) that is why I didn't bother much with trying to bypass the protection scheme all together. I do believe I made a good decision about requiring the old smart cards. The genisys is a good platform. And I do encourage people to atleast buy the software from the 'Real' developer. Cause if the sioftware helped you, then you should consider helping them by buying it.

I may have left out something since I only have tested it with 2003 smart cards. I will look into it. Most likely I left out something. I'll check it out when I get home. Hopefully I'll be able to just make a patch that you can apply to the image file. I just remembered something. The smart cards you have must have been authorized on your scanner before. If they were authorized first on a different scanner it won't work.

I'll need to know the year to each smart card you plan to use. It'll definately help me narrow down where the problem is actually occuring. Well, that is once I get in front of my computer

i just checked it out and i think i know what's happening. it's not detecting and installing with the 08 smart cards correctly. have you tried installing with your 07 smart cards? if you haven't give that a try. just re-write the image onto the cf card and use your 07 cards. i'm sure it will work with your 07 cards unless there is some part in the authorization process which nulls and voids older cards (which I highly doubt). just give that a try and let me know how it works out. but if using the 07 cards don't work for you. i'll just create a new image which fixes the 08 authorization and also speed up the installation process.

Maybe you might me right about overlooking something because on my MAC Mentor my 2004 Pathfinder will not work no matter how I try. Is there a way to check that the smart card is for that Machine ?
Pathfinder 2003 is on the Internal CF and works ok. All other software load ok.

i tried it with the 2007 cards and i have the same thing happening

when the system 4.0 is installing is does say the system is pre-authorized for 2008 (domestic,asian,abs)

i think the scanner stores data from the smart cards

because when i would update my scanner when i had 2007 it would ask me for the cards

after i installed 2008 all the updates i did did not request the 2008 card (i believe it requested 2009) but i didnt have to put my 08 cards in and 08 was pre-authorized)

as for the smart cards i have infotech 06,domestic 07,asian 07,abs 04,asian 08,abs 08,domestic 08

ive been trying to read/explore the installation package but i havent been able to access it.

tried in both windows and ubuntu

i thought i had heard a rumour that the genisys ran lynxos
so it would prob. have a FFS file system?

what os/program did you use to access it?

thanks in advance

I ent through a very lengthy process to make those images. You are correct as it does used lynxos as it's operating system. And I do know the console password to gain access through serial. But for the most part everything was done on my genisys. If you are willin to help I can tell you how to get to the login and will step you through on how to get it working on your scanner just MSG me

i missed a patch inside the installer script.. to be honest the login and oassword is pretty easy to get.. if you took some time and thought about it. and examined the image file. took me about 2-3 hours to figure out.

BIBMS, I am so glad that you found this forum and have applied your talent to the Genisys. I have needed these updates for some time and could not afford them. It's been a struggle here in California lately and I really appreciate your contribution. I only wish I had as much talent with a PC.
I opened my scanner to check for internal CF card, none there. Removed system 3.0 card and applied image to a 4gb CF card. Installed in outter slot and booted up. It asked for all cards and I went through the authorization process. The scanner hung on "Installing USA 2006 Domestic Release 1.05". I tried to reboot, would not turn off. Disconnected battery and it restarted install. It went through the install and all systems seemed to have loaded. However when I tried to access OBD2 it would go straight back to the main menu. I tried other specific models and straight back to main menu. I reloaded image and re-authorized. Again stuck in "installing usa 2006 Domestic 1.05". Left overnight. Came in this morning and it was still stuck. Disconnected battery and rebooted. Started the USA 2006 Domestic Release 1.05 install and completed pretty quickly and folled by Asian and others. All seems to be working now as I am able to get to searching protocol when not connected to a vehicle. Thought this may help others. Smart cards are 2005 European,2006 Asian, ABS 2004, 2006 Domestic. The only card it did not ask for is Infotech 2006.

This is awesome!!!!!!!

You are welcome, only reason I even attempted this project was to revive my own scanner. For the most part consider this a way to give you a hands on experience with the features of the newer version of the software.unv

Well I've finally had a little time to check oiut superc0's cd. The software has been updated to work on x64 windows so that was a big plus for me. But to anyone who was wondering. Yes the updates on the disc is newer than what I released and I believe my patches could be easily be ported over to work with the newer version. Only problem is the amount of data that needs to be written onto the cf card is 1.4gb whereas I only have a 1gb card. So I can't do anything. besides I haven't had much time to mess with it lately. And when you're doing it on a POS computer like me, you're spending most the time waiting. And time is what I have very little of. I will eventually try to patch the update once I find a bigger cf card.. But that really is a question of when.

If that is not possible I know for you to try it out yourself you would need the card but if you make the image we can try it out & give you the result.

Making the image is the easy part. The hard part is a getting the files off of the image that need to be patched. only way to do that is to write the image and mount it from inside the scanner. Then copy the files onto USB, then figure out where they need to patched. Then implementing the the patching routine . Then copy it back onto the cf card. Then finally create the image. To be honest I don't even understand PowerPC assembly. I just happened to get lucky from trial n error :)

Yes it does contain 2010. I wouldn't mind getting that spare. It would help to get the update out quicker. And I just came up with this thought but it can come in handy with an idea I have. Basically figure out how the partition table is layed out on different size cards. And create a utility that can partition the cf card correctly for whatever size you may have. Cause right now the amount of available space left on my current update is about 10-15% out of 1gig. It could be less. Even if you wrote it on a 4gig card. You would have 3gigs of wasted unusuable space. So that's another hurdle I would like to try to overcome. But yeah if you are willing to part with that spare it would help me with this project. Let me know what info u need

Whoa.. I got a few msgs from that tatyanka guy. Brings up a whole lot of questions though... He said he figured it out. But his answeres to my questions just didn't seem right. He didn't know what serial console was. Majority of people using the genisys have the euro, Asian, domestic cards. So enabling all the software isn't really a problem. I remember reading somewhere that the security in the older version was doing all the security checking and verifying by script then ran the executable if no problems came up. So it's quite possible he's patching in the old versions.. I maybe wrong.. But that's what I was able to come up with.. But then again he maybe trying to get your serial numbers off your cf card who knows. He did question how I implemented the patching n install routine. Apparently he wanted to use my method for other scanners.. Will trade for Smart Cable... lol jk. And to the few who was able to get superc0s cd image. I'm still planning on doing that update just waiting on a cf card.

FYI there's is no security protection whatsoever that I know of that comes with the smart cable.. Only thing i'm aware of is a file that is always sent to the cable. I believe it's a little bit of program code that sets up protocol being used and stream demuxing. Now since OTC ha come out with the Pegasys. They are most likely gonna spend most there time with the new new hardware. Btw OTC nemysis is based off of the genisys... And I maybe wrong on This but the smart cable for the nemisys is exactly the same cable the genisys uses. And there Is quite a big difference in price. Maybe someone can verify that. If OTC changes update strategy I don't think it would be that big of a deal. System 3.0 enabled USB upgrading individual updates. In System 4.0 they totally removed the USB update feature and went straight with cf images

10th July, 2011, 07:56 AM
Cool, so while I'm waiting for the cf card. I'm currently brainstorming some ideas and what not. For one I believe I can greatly shorten the install/patch time now since I'm not restrained to 1 gig. So install will only take 5 mins. Also what size card is everyone using? Furthermore anyone who got that was able to d/l super's cd image I suggest you install it and run the updated so that you will have the latest image file. I only say to do this because I won't be releasing a full release but a patch that you can apply to the file. Any questions on how to do that let me know

We won't be applying the update with the updated software. Will only be using it to d/l the latest update. I will be releasing a seperated file that you will use to patch againts the image file downloaded by the updated.

Yeah I will be patching that. Reason im releasing a patch instead of full image is to prevent 'leechers'. Besides i think the 2009 release should be good enough for everyone. But I was thinking of making just a 4gig image but I guess I'll be making patches for both size cards

What you have given us so far already is a life time treasure, I personally have had 2 Genisys sitting down for the last 5 years not been use because of the old 2002 software that was on them both. If you did not give us the support then I would have then still sitting there .
The problem is, in the TRUE sprit of Digital Kaos, donations can be, not so nice and real TRICKY,
You have already proven that "YOU ARE THE MAN" on this project here in DK and no one can thake that from you.
I have no problem making a donation because it is damn worth it, BUT, make that private, give what you can for FREE in the TRUE SPRIT OF DK and if and if anyone wants more than you have given for free then a donation is only fair.

Thats my view, but then again who care about my views :driver:

Oh by the way I can donate Jamaican Girls, Jamaican sunshine, Jamaican Coffee and the good old Jamaican Weed.

i think after the 2010 update is released we should all pitch in and buy bibms a smart cable (iirc correctly he didnt have one)

i can buy a smart cable for like $250.00 shipped

divide that by 10 and its only $25 a person

USB memory stick support sure sucks on these scanners. writing to usb is no problem, its only when trying to copy from usb is where problems start to arise. that lil problem has made me go another route to copy files back into the image. back to the days of 9600 bps transfers... this sure is going to be fun.... considering the amont of time i spend on on this little project, would it be wrong to ask for donations?

maybe i can donate mexican beers?

What you have given us so far already is a life time treasure, I personally have had 2 Genisys sitting down for the last 5 years not been use because of the old 2002 software that was on them both. If you did not give us the support then I would have then still sitting there .
The problem is, in the TRUE sprit of Digital Kaos, donations can be, not so nice and real TRICKY,
You have already proven that "YOU ARE THE MAN" on this project here in DK and no one can thake that from you.
I have no problem making a donation because it is damn worth it, BUT, make that private, give what you can for FREE in the TRUE SPRIT OF DK and if and if anyone wants more than you have given for free then a donation is only fair.

Thats my view, but then again who care about my views :driver:

I just recently got a friend to get me the smart cable. It has mad everything so much easier (diagnosing wise). I am curios as to whats so special about the new european cables though (bmw & mercedez). I kinda want to dissect them cause i got a feeling those cables can easily be made DIY.

I aint too worried about getting donations. But there are a few personal side projects that i would like to get done but never got arond to. Like repairing a broken psp, itouch, and ps3. If anyone was wondering i have messed around with a snapon solus. I dont haVe a Virgin cf card update for it so i couldnt do much. But comparing software security between snapon and genisys. Snapon has a more secure protection thats a little harder to figure out (well atleast from what i can tell)

I was actually referring to the mercedez ssi insert with jumper wire and also the cable that connects together with the smartcable that connects to bmw's diagnostic interface. But trying to make your own diy smartcable is a totally whole 'nother project of its own. I believe it would be a whole lot simpler to just make your own smart inSerts for the old cable. Only down side to that is you'd need someone to break open their inserts and get the schematic of the pcb. I believe its possible but youd be dealing with 50 or so inserts to make. I havent tried doing this myself but the smart inserts serve the same purpose as the smart keys do for the snapon scanners..

Quick update on my status so far. Ive almost finished copying the files i need back onto my genisys. I just got a few more files to copy over and implemEnt the install. A possible release looks quite possible By the end of the week. One more thing. I am not sure how to enable the unused space on the cf card to be accessable by the scanner. So my suggestion would be to go with a 2gig card.

Progress on the latest update I'm working on is going pretty smoothly. I've worked out most of the kinks in the install/patching routine. I've greatly reduced the time it takes to install, the scanner now detects previous authorized modules. So now there shouldn't be a need to swap smart cards in and out during installation anymore. Currently only seen problem is the infotech scope module isn't working. I'll have the update out Sunday. But in the meantime I still need to fix a few patches and try to get the scope module working...

This isn't a requirement but I am accepting donations, if anyone wants to donate. Just pm me

(without cards cause they made like a total of 10 of those and their all locked to old scanners somewhere)

the dvd works (their is a patch so you dont need the usb security key)

you have to run the update software and get the newest 4gb update downloaded to your computer before you begin

then after you have confirmed that your ngis1024.img is 1,210,982,400 bytes

make sure that xdelta3 and gen2010.vcdiff are in the same directory as your ngis1024.img file

open a cmd prompt and navigate to that directory

run this command

"xdelta -d -s ngt1024.img gen2010.vcdiff"

i know that i have omitted the destination file name from bibms's original command but it would not create that file (maybe a windows 7 security issue?)

without a specified filename xdelta will build the output file as "patched.img"

shitad

first you must put all fils into the same folder
namely
1)Xdelta3.exe, you can remane it xdelta.exe
2)ngt1024.img
3)gen2010.vcdiff

Then click Start/Run/Cmd

From the Dos box you tpye CD\ and hit enter then from there you use the CD command to go to the folder where the 3 files are.

Once you are three you now follow Blibms example anf type

xdelta -d -s ngt1024.img gen2010.img gen2010.vcdiff and hit enter


For those who are a bit lost.


Now back to the issure at hand

The problem I think is with the ngt1024.img file size. I think Blibms had a 4Gig card so he was able to dowmload the updates online and this was what change the file size.
Anyone who has a 4Gig card and downloaded the updates could upload this new upgraded ngt1024.img file from the C:\NIGS folder and we should be good to go.
If any new update came out after he upgraded online, this img file size might change and it will not work.

Worst case is Blibms would need to upload his NGT1024.IMG file and that will take some time so we will all wait until he is online.

Sorry about the hassle about this update I am just trying to keep the latest release private. I was able to bypass the 4gig limit by inserting a memory stick. If everyone is having that much I'll just upload the updated image which is about 350megs. But if you have succesfully used the ngis client to d/l an update look inside the c;/ngis folder and open a file named ngt1024img.exe with a file extraction program like winrar.

Anyone got a 3306-12 ssi they want to crack open to take high-res pics of the pcb? :) I might have it. I'll have to double check later. Btw I have opened up a smart cable.. And believe me..

infotech is working great

thanks for getting the gm reflash app working

i firmly believe its working as its supossed to but otc quit selling it before system 3.0/smart cable and i dont think they ever thought about anybody using it with a smart cable

when you bought the reflash package back in the day you got the expertec dvd,the gm usb security key(goes into the computer to unlock the sps database) and the reflash ssi

there is a manual for it in ngis/ngisuserguide/

its a somewhat interesting read (it also covers reflashing with the tech 2)

This is very good news and I cannt wait to get onboard. It seems my new 2 Gig CF card is not good so I must go buy another one.
If I can recall correctly the Expertec DVD is a compilation of all the different flash files for GM up to the year of the DVD release, now you must go online to get these file. I already have GM SPS stand alone that goes all the way to 2007 so much can be done if we get this going and by the sound of it it seems we are there.
OTC make it to only work with the 3306-12 insert you are 100% correct.
If we get the configuration of 3306-12 mybe we can adapt one of the other smart insert to work because once we get the smart cable you really dont need much of the inserts.

There are a few other company that does this emmulation as well, Ease Diagnostic is one of them EASE Diagnostics - The Leader in PC-Based Automotive Diagnostic Solutions (http://www.obd2.com/)

last i heard ease had j2534 flashers but not any devices that emulated the proprietary pass thru of a tech 2

are you referring to a product they no longer sell?

if you read the pdf they refer to their device as a j2534 passthru

j2534 can be used with gm's sps software but it uses a completely different protocol/driver/language from the device to the pc

Today I bought a 2Gig SanDisk Ultra CF card and loaded the 2010 update, the Asian Diagnostic software did not work well, whenever I choose a manufacturer it starts loading that mamufacturer file, then it comes back to the main menu with the list of all of them.
Now I an reformating the CF and will reload. I also notice that I did not get the pop-up for the ABS/AirBag smart card during install so the AirBag Icon was not there.
I will see if it comes back after I reinstall.

Correct me if I'm wrong guys. I think that ABS & TPMS are no longer on the main menu, they are accessed in each model now if the model has that option.

L Abs was implemented into the main program starting with the 2010 releases. If Asian import doesn't work for you after you reinstall it. Try it again, but this time put in your Asian import smart card. If that still doesn't get it working then it must have been an error on my end

One thing I also fine strange is, I made sure I powered down of yet whenever I try to run the update it say Improper Shutdown .

I shut it down using power button while it was checking the file system & when I restarted it it went right to updating. It seems to be quicker this way not sure if it was OK to do so but it seems to be working. I also did not see TPMS on the main screen.
bibms,
Also I pressed enter to continue without having the smart card, should I have pressed cancel to exit since I did not have smart card? I did not do that since I thought it would exit/end the install process. Is this correct?

Well the install process should detect previous authoriZed software. It should say 'something found pre-authorized. If it doesn't then it means the software will need to be installed with the smart card. And I also pressed enter through all the prompts and it installed ok for me

Is anyone having the same prob as
shitad? Wait a min. I forgot to remove that disk check on first boot. So it will happen everytime you you rewrite the image. But during install you should get a pre-authorized message with the version of the software you had previously installed.

Shitad, do you know how to to setup a serial connection to the scanner? If you do open up a serial terminal connection to the scanner. Log all the of the output during installation and when you run Asian. I can use that info to pinpoint what's happening.

You will need the serial cable that plugs into the rj45 port on the scanner. Connect that to a serial port on your computer. I suggest using teraterm. Load it up, select new connection then select the com port the scanner is hooked up to. Then somewhere in the program there's a logging option. Enable that, then finally turn on on the scanner. You will start to see text showing up etc. Btw serial port settings should be 9600/no parity which usually is the default

Connect the serial cable to your computer that connects to the rj45 port on the scanner. Load up teraterm and start a new connection using the whichever com port the serial cable is hooked up to. Now enable logging somewhere inside teraterm. Then finally turn on. Your scanner. If it's done right text will start popping up. and that's it. The serial cable that connects to the scanner was included with connech tech package. If you don't got it I'll have to trace the wires and and get you schematics so u can make one

Try finding any 4 Gig flash drive and direct the upgrade to it, It will not write anything to the drive but it must first see a 4 Gig before it will proceed with the upgrade download.

Well I, and I guess a bunch of us here all downloaded the 2010 file from Superc0 that he posted here, this is what we are currently working with. After installing the 2010 software we do a online update where it ask for a 4Gig card, and my understanding is any 4Gig memory usb or otherwise will allow the updated to be downloaded. Once this is done then you should be able find your way around.

you have to run the update software and get the newest 4gb update downloaded to your computer before you begin

then after you have confirmed that your ngis1024.img is 1,210,982,400 bytes

make sure that xdelta3 and gen2010.vcdiff are in the same directory as your ngis1024.img file

open a cmd prompt and navigate to that directory

run this command

"xdelta -d -s ngt1024.img gen2010.vcdiff"

i know that i have omitted the destination file name from bibms's original command but it would not create that file (maybe a windows 7 security issue?)

without a specified filename xdelta will build the output file as "patched.img"


first you must put all fils into the same folder
namely
1)Xdelta3.exe, you can remane it xdelta.exe
2)ngt1024.img
3)gen2010.vcdiff

Then click Start/Run/Cmd

From the Dos box you tpye CD\ and hit enter then from there you use the CD command to go to the folder where the 3 files are.

Once you are three you now follow Blibms example anf type

xdelta -d -s ngt1024.img gen2010.img gen2010.vcdiff and hit enter


For those who are a bit lost.


Now back to the issure at hand

The problem I think is with the ngt1024.img file size. I think Blibms had a 4Gig card so he was able to dowmload the updates online and this was what change the file size.
Anyone who has a 4Gig card and downloaded the updates could upload this new upgraded ngt1024.img file from the C:\NIGS folder and we should be good to go.
If any new update came out after he upgraded online, this img file size might change and it will not work.

Worst case is Blibms would need to upload his NGT1024.IMG file and that will take some time so we will all wait until he is online.

Regards

Liteace,
The reason why ngt1024.img folder is still only 1,056,837 Kb and not 1,210,982,400 is because you did not succeed with the online upgrade, the progress bar did not go all the way and then it give you the 4Gig card error.
Like I said I used a 4 Gig PNY thumb drive and not a 4Gig CF card to piont the online upgrade to and I was able to get this online update going. Note that nothing was written to my 4Gig PNY Flash Drive, I guess the update software only check for a 4Gig drive, so my original ngt1024.img was updated and move in size from 1,056,837 Kb to 1,210,982,400.
At this point you follow Bibms instructions with patching this new ngt1024.img file with the vcdiff file and then you write the new Patched img to a 2 Gig CF card,

I remenber I was haveing problem with Bibms command so I used Scotte example and it worked

I'm currently trying to find a better way to implement my patches. When I do find a solution. I'll be releasing a private image with 2010 euro. And I'll also make the current image public. When that happens it'll probably be my last update for awhile. This project consumes up a lot of my time especially when I'm working with a POS pc.

Anyway anyone got the 38pin Mercedes breakout box smart insert? Or the bmw interface that connects to the smart cable. I'm looking for a pinout schematic for them if possible

Yeah been feeling the effects of being unemployed having to do odd jobs here n there. But I havent forgot about this project. Been brainstorming possible solutions on how I can implement an easier way to apply the patches which would be less prone to errors

I notice my Genisys always "time out" after about 4 minutes of idling and this can me very anoying.
Is anyone else experiencing this with theirs, the next time I boot it up I will check to see it there is a setting for this.
Today I checked a 2005 Chevy Tahoe with Tyre Pressure Monitoring System error. Connected to the system and worked well.

Lets say I am into a live data section viewing the data but no need for any key stroke, after about 4 minutes the Genisys goes into sleep mode and I have to power up back before it can come on, but when it comes on it does not give the message that it was not shut down properly. It boots up back normally

Cant help you Mate with that one, mine needs a new battery so its not been tested yet, it works fine and will sit there forever when plugged into the charger to power it, battery is on its way so when it gets here i'll test it and see what happends

Does anyone know of a newer infotech release? I also own the Solarity 4 channel scope and am dying to find newer software. The OTC software has more holes in coverage than swiss cheese. I would really like to upgrade my older genisys. It has been sitting in my car since last fall. I have no use for it with the older software. I bought a 4gb card last year in order to do this and today was the first time I have seen any developments.

Now that you mention it, yes mine does the same thing where whenever I plug in the AC adapter it will stay on all day and not time out but for some strange reason it time out on ODB power with engine running and car battery fully charge.
I wonder why ???
Tomorrow I will try my MAC Mentor to see if it does the same on OBD power with engine running and battery fully charge.

Somewhere in the settings will be an option for auto sleep or something. It's under the same menu as the time and date settings I believe. One thing I've noticed about using the smart cable is that it doesn't charge the unit. I had rigged myself some li-ion batteries together and made my own pack. I rather would have used ni-cad but i didnt have qby laying around. It works for the most part but it bulges out. From the rear

Well just checking in. havent had much computer time. but i have gotten a lil work done. rewrote patching scripts. found offsets that needed needed to be patched in new executables. modified install script to display a few custom messages.

still need to copy files back onto scanner. there are a few things that got me wondering. like why abs files are still included even though abs is not shown on software seleCt menu. and a whole lotta other things. its getting there. Slowly but surely.

heres a possible DIY if you have the mercedes 38pin cable but not the new ssi with jumper wire. looking at connector theres 2 rows of pins. even #'s on top. odd #'s on bottom. #1 is located bottom left corner. starting from pin 4 on up. matches exactly with mercedes pinout. so if you substitute Pin 1 for 'k' then jump it to the corresponding pin. you should get data. though i was only able to get dAta from pin 4. which is engine module. tried accessing abs and srs modules but i couldnr connect to them. maybe i missed Something. oh well its a start

Do you have a pinout of the DLC16 connector, the parallel connector and the pins where the smart inserts go? I can get schematics of the dlc16 on the car as far as data lines are concerned.

Hello everybody,I tried to copy the 09 image to 4GB CF then i get error says:

Not all of the image data could be written to the destination drive.this is common if the source of the image was a different brand or size than the destination media.

the CF is 4GB kingston.
my otc came with system 2.0 then i upgraded to 3.0 with 2006 smart cards.
any help i realy appreciate, i read the treads over and over and over and still can't get it

My understanding is Version 9 that we have here only works on a 1 Gig CF and the 2010 Version will only work on a 2 Gig.

Actually all the data for 2010 would not fit on a 1 gig card. That's why i set a 2gig minimum for 2010 and up. I was lucky to be even able to fit 2009 on a 1gig card. But that 2 gig minimum I set is kinda the downfall because if you use a 4gig card. You'd have like 2.5gigs or so of wasted space that you can't even touch I still haven't figured out a solution yet.
Only way I can think of that will use up all the space is write a program that will make a lynx formated file system that is able to read and write data. That way in theory it would be possible to use it to create a raw image on the fly that will be able to use up the full capacity of the cf card with the necessary data already copied into it

If you read it correctly you were suppose to write the image onto the cf card. Not copy the image. Cause on a properly written card. The data will not be accessible in windows. That's why I said you need to use a program that can write to the raw disk sector by sector. ie. Disk Imager or 'dd win32'

Well for the special 38pin mb cable that uses the ssi. It's basically pin for pin. Only thing I'm not sure of is if there is any internal muxers for the 38pin breakout box that connects to the ssi slot.

So would MCE work to write the file? I have a PCMCIA to CF adapter that allows me to use that program.

I'm not familiar with mce. But if it enables you to write disk images onto a data drive then hussy I belieave it should. Just go ahead and try it. Then try reading the cf card after finish writing the image if it's inaccessible then the cf card should work in your genisys

Ya I just copied my old file and it worked. It took like an hour to write the 3.0 file off my NGIS disc and it boots but then it says: Unsupported Compact Flash. So I am lost on what disc to use for 3.0. I want to update my older one to 3.0 and my Evo to 4.0

Well I think that's your problem right there. If you are trying to write the original image from the cd. It's going to give you thy error. What's basically happening is, since you are writing the image onto a cf card that isn't use or supplied by OTC it will error out and and halt from booting any further. Now if you had tried using the 05 image, I'm pretty sure the end result would be a whole lot more to your liking

I tried the 05 image, and giving me same error.May be i am doing something wrong.So is it that i have to use the cf card that otc support? or i can use any cf card with any size.
and the images 05 & 09 do i do anything with them or just write them to cf card as is using the flash imager you provided.
I realy appreciate your help.

I was able to get the cd img file to boot but it stops when it says card unsupported. MCE works to write the file. That got me past the whole formatting issue. I am pretty sure you need a higher speed cf card to run 3.0. There is a program that reads what kind of CF card you have. If I have time I will see what specs my 3.0 card in the Evo has but I am thinking it is just a higher data transfer rate.

I don't believe there is any requirement on what speed cards you yse for 3.0. Speed only becomes a factor when it's reading and writing. Sure you could use a slow card. It may take a little while for it to load but it will load. I'm willing to bet if you load up any old version onto a high speed card. The boot times will be comparable to the claimed boot times of system 4.0.

Anyway about the 05 I don't remember if there was a problem with it. It's quite possible there was. The 09 one will work but some programs won't run
