Hacking VW PN trouble
« on: September 16, 2007, 01:43:20 pm »
Can anyone help? I seem to have a dead VW PN trying the hack for larger harddrive.

Here's the sequence.
found a link to the wiki page that gives the step by step instructions.
Followed them without problem down to putting the DMS in the car (04 VW Passat w/ v7.02 of firmware).
PN is always powered so it starts up as soon as the DMS is installed.
With headunit on, press CD button. Silence but the track time display incremented a little. Then it jumped back to FM. Instructions say this is normal.
Press CD again. Repeat the above numerous times.
Took out DMS and examined Patch.log. The only thing that showed up as verified was the first item.
There was no patchverify.log
Corrupted ramdisk as suggested in postings.

Disconnected the cable to the Phatnoise. Reconnected it.

Plugged in DMS.
Now all I get is red light on and flashing green for several minutes. Then it shuts off, restarts itself and repeats the same light sequence. Ad infinitum.

I removed the DMS (between off and on, of course). Found this place for the Windows 2.3 hack.
Tried to use that to see if it would bring up step 8 to see the logs, and all I get is "Conversion from type 'DBNull' to type 'Integer' is not valid." in step 3.

Bootload.log ends with the 'BOOT*-X: Failed'.

Pressing the CD button now gets 'NO CD' displayed.

Restored the DMS PHTSYS directory to pre-hack. Verified it works in my other VW's Phatnoise.

Retried to use the Windows hack. See error message above.

Went back to wiki step-by-step process.

All I get is the flahsing green for several minutes then rebooting. Pressing CD button only gets message "NO CD".

Has the PN been hacked to death?

Here's the latest patch.log

Segmentation fault

I'll try to corrupt the ramdisk.SIG again.

Update: hack may be hacking. It did switch back to FM a couple of times. Now it is playing the first music file. No hack complete message.

Update 2: Looks like it worked this time.
