Hack Tomtom Go Live 825 Best

Mar 17, 2018 - TomTom announces Go Live 800 series PNDs for lost Europeans and with the purchase of an 820 or 825 GPS, you\'ll get a year\'s worth of free.

I just received a new TomTom Go1000. It looked very promising in the box but then I connected it to my PC. It updated OK but it no longer appears as a drive on my PC like the previous models. I understand none of the new TomToms do. This of course prevents users from transferring personal \'Favourites\' data, car symbols, sounds, etc and particularly saving the contents of the disk since there is no longer a way to make a back-up of the device.

Is there a way of making the invisible visible? What is TomTom hiding? The reason why all of the new TomToms since September 2010 (such as the GO1000 range and all VIA models) do not show up as a drive on the computer is because they are using the Linux based file systems instead of FAT/FAT32. This wasn\'t a choice by TomTom to make it harder for us to copy or crack their devices. This was done because Microsoft successfully sued TomTom for using the Microsoft FAT and FAT32 file systems on a Linux platform, which Microsoft claimed it was an infringement. Therefore TomTom were forced to use another file system other that a Windows based one.

TomToms run on Linux anyway, so the choice to use Linux file systems do make the devices run faster than ever before, as their file systems are generally more reliable and capable than the older FAT/FAT32. This is a positive for customers, but it\'s a negative for us who want to update our new TomToms by sharing files with each other, as we do on here and other forums. The only way to currently update the new TomToms is to use their program called \'MyTomTom,\' although you have to pay for updating most things like new maps and safety cameras. So far, nobody has been successful in trying to \'crack\' this new system, or rather make it possible for us to update the new TomToms using Windows Explorer. One must wonder though.

How hard can it really be?? Is there a list of current devices that are still on sale that can be updated?I can give you a general list of which models to avoid. These ones below were all made from September 2010 onwards: GO 1000 series GO LIVE 800 series Start 20 series VIA models The complete list (at present) is at the end of this post. Some stores may sell old stock and usually at reduced prices. If you\'re lucky, you may still find models such as XL IQ routes, the GO 750 or 950 or older.

Probably the best TomToms ever made (before the new uncrackable range) were the GO x20/x30/x40/x50 models. There is a way to access these devices using the network enviroment, but you only get access to the stuff you can freely acces using the default IP and the non protected ares: There is also a NC10 EU map that seems to work on NC9 and these new devices but I have not tested it. My tests with the VIA got to a stand still as my Windows now refuses to fully access the network - the TT appears as an unknown network. I can still access it but using MyTT is rendered useless. The problem is the Hash/RSA protection of BL and NC related folders.

You can patch a NC10/11 after \'unpacking\' and selecting the right file but you can\'t install the modifed NC because of the protection. Same for patching on the device: Even devices with active SD can\'t be patched as the actual NC files stay in the protected memory areas. Only if someone can provide a keygen that genereates a map activation without the need of patching other maps could be used. And for the patching part and normal keygens it would be neccessary to have a network driver (RNDIS) or program that can override the RSA protection or at least offer normal access to all parts of the internal memory. TT recently puplished all sources for the NC\'s incl, NC9 and 10, so it would be only a matter of some Linux freaks developing someting usefull. There were companies using Go720/730 with their own software as well as succesfull portations of the TT (Linux) NC to other devices but at this stage there seems to be a lack of good \'hackers\' willing to get going. It was told the Truck maps can\'t be activated, also that 32mb devices never could use LoquendoTTS and of course that a V9NC will never work on old devices.
