Sowhat?

Am not sure how about the columbus but on my old generation "B" RNS510 i upgraded from 2760 to 3980 and it did three partitions. Maybe its different on the skoda versions tho...

back again after a while... folks, i've had my hands on the 2800 for a while now and all i can say is it sucks. some folks report good performance but in my case, it failed badly with blanked out screens, load and shutdown errors all the time. The best option for most people with older units (e.g. 2008 like mine) is indeed the 2760, which seems to run fairly well or even perfect for most people. I've also heard that the 2800 was stopped by the developers soon after its leak because it has a number of problems. so whenever there shall be a 2800 link turn up here it has to be consumed with care since it might give ur unit major headaches... just to let u kno folks... Also i wanted to say this: Rapidshare decided to kill my premium account an deny all access to my files. all links posted by me here are still alive but might die down soon. I have no capacity for uploading to a new host at the moment so enjoy the files as long as they are alive. once down i might not be able to put them back on. and oh yes before i forget: i do not earn any points or credits or whatever with these files, just in case u think i am after some RS Points. there aren't such points anymore anyway. RS replaced their old system now with one without rewards for uploads.

mrose, thank you so much for contributing a really interesting thing here i was going to try pretty much the same but got off that idea lately because a few people have done it by now and i am getting to the point where the hdd speed gets on my nerves. copying things over to the RNS is a pain for starters, but there's more issues which are a nuisance with this thing. I am getting more and more into just using the SD-Card since its way more convenient. can you maybe state how u experience working speed of the replacement disk? does it feel faster (since it has a higher spin-rate)? or does it maybe not make any difference because maybe the controller for the disk is already to slow? i was toying with the idea of maybe fitting a solid state disk into the unit at some stage, but am not quite sure it will work out. if speed improvements can be achieved by just "upgrading" the disk it would make that project more interesting. what do you think?

That truly is funny we could start guessing now why people are too shy to ask or even if they are shy at all rather then dumb or whatever

will do, not today, maybe tomorrow, maybe not. tired. bedtime. once i got the info in me brains i'll add it here to the first post meself then. think its a good thing to have with that cd. cheers anyways mate. @Evening Star I had another more detailed search through the forum. As it turns out, all so called "releases" following the 2660 are available and heavily discussed here. Again I now wonder whether you know that all these versions are Beta or not? The only officially available and finalized 2xxx Firmware is the 2660, which is only meant for generation "C6" units - since it has been installed to pre-c6 units in most cases it can be considered a wrong thing in some way too though. VW didn't want that one to get spread all over the place either. It was meant for cars manufactured from calender week 45 2009 onwards. So now i wonder again, did you warn all these other posters too? or just me because i am obviously new here? or did u just not realize that all this 2xxx Firmware is not legit? Don't get me wrong, but it's just that your comment keeps making less and less sense the more i think it over. Also your point of people coming back asking for help with bricked units makes no sense at all because this place has had it all already. the one firmware more will not do much change on that then either, will it?

hi folks, been here a while as guest reading 'bout the nu firmware 2680, then i thought i could share a bit of me own stuff. so then again me finks, it might be polite to say lo although this comes in a little late now. Anyhow: me sez hi! cheers, Sowhat?

cheers mate for adding the modified version. didn't know what to change or where to look and way to lazy after 14 hours of work. still, the thread is a little questionable here. awaiting some comments from a mod. could you be bothered tho to share your wisdom? i'd be interested in finding out what needs be changed for skoda exactly, but too lazy to go searching and do lots of reading. is it a lot of stuff? if not asked too much, do u mind putting it down here nicely so peeps like me have it all in one place? or did u snatch the ready-made disk somewhere else yourself? cheers

Mate, you are probably right. Let me just state this: i have been following the 2680 Thread for a while now and i considered it being a nice move to provide one of the more stable follow-ups to this. While the 2700 and 2720 where not as stable and caused some problems, this one is expected to be a little more "fixed". Although it might also never reach publishing (there is rumours about a 2800 being readied just now) it still is quite an advancement towards the 2660 and 2680, which had quite some nasty bugs. In this one, the RVC bug can be considered fixed. Further, it runs a lot smoother, some speed-advancements are there too. Also apparently it will not install on generation "A" units anymore. Also not on units without any index. So the most vulnerable units are protected. Also, the 2680 was/ is considered a Beta and has (apparently) never reached VW, it came straight from Continental like this one and was as such not considered for release by VW at all as far as i have heard. So since that firmware was welcomed here i thought it being quite ok to put this one up now. But if anyone of the Briskoda Team thinks this is not right i will absolutely take this post down. No worries with that. Thank you for your concerns Evening Star. I will contact the Team and ask for their opinion on this.

Beta 2760 of the RNS 510 Firmware Description: Please note: this is Firmware that has neither been approved of nor been authorized in any other way by Volkswagen. Most likely this Firmware will only be introduced/released for devices with Index "C" or internal Hardware-generation C6 if at all. There is a good chance it will never be released too. An installation carries an enormous risk. Do so if you know how to fix your unit in case you got it bricked. It should only be used on C-Devices and can be used on B-Devices. People with units indexed "A" or without any index should by any means avoid installing this firmware. Columbus Users (Skoda, right): Reading this forum i have learned that some files in the Firmware are different for Skoda in some cases, needing some modifications. I am not entirely sure about the details here. Check with the 2680-thread, it has some info there on that matter. I am not sure if this Firmware can be installed on the columbus "as is"! Make sure to double check before moving on from here! Don't say i didn't warn you! New functions have not been introduced so far known today. It merely is a bug fix to the older 2660. Since this CD comes in the "Update" layout a re-coding of your units after installation will not be required, a loss of data might only occur if you upgrade from below 1100, if you go from anything newer the data in the device will not be erased. I have tested this Disk without changing it, just the way i got it. The Hidden Menue (a.k.a TestMode) is already activated. It doesn't need to be coded by means of VCDS. Since my car sat in the Carport while the update was running it took a while to get a satellite-fix afterwards, but apart from that it runs very well and to my full satisfaction. Well done, Continental!
