Hi Guys, just joined.
Trying to help a mate with a 2016 pug where the firmware is 4 versions out of date on his SMEG plus unit (everything is stock Q2 2016 from build).
Read most of this thread and another forum and got all the files (Update firmware, Euro Maps, Speed cams and key tool). Busy prepping the update stick
A) Extracted the main 1 gig update to a fast 32gig USB 3 Fat 32 stick. All good, (but file structure is just one SMEG_PLUS_UPG folder ?)
B) Extracted the speed cam update to the same stick and that gives ALL the info I see in some tutorials with lots of files and folders. However when I look both updates create a SMEG_PLUS_UPG folder of their own (clearly I can't have 2 of these).
So of the files I mention above, either the contents of "B" goes in the big folder "A" or the files in "A" go in "B" ?
No big issue till I notice BOTH have 3 files that are the same in both folders.... and then we have issues. The speed cam stuff has one file that's newer and I expect needed then 2 older 2015 files.
I could see to ovewrite the files of the last firmware update using ALL the speed cam info (as I guess could be compatible, but adding older stuff to a firmware update of known compatable files is plain silly?). For speed cams I can see one "contract.dat" is 4kb bigger and I suspect essentail. But the 2 older files might break the main update being old out of date stuff ? I don't know which update needs which. So took a quick look at whats there
speed cam files in the SMEG_PLUS_UPG folder it creates
contract.dat 3 Sept 2019
Upg.Plugin.out 3 Jul 2015
Upg.Plugin.out.inf 3 Jul 2015
5.43. A. R files SMEG_PLUS_UPG folder from the last main firmware update
contract.dat 19 Sept 2017
Upg.Plugin.out 19 Sept 2017
Upg.Plugin.out.inf 19 Sept 2017
but then its more fun as both sets appear obsolete / wrong !!! checking data in both inf files, neither are really the correct files???
the INF file data in the speed cam files, in the SMEG_PLUS_UPG folder
988ca295
VER:SMEG_5.4x.B.R1_kok
TYPE:RELOCABLE
ID:0
COMPRESSED:NO
SIZE:168902
ENTRY:YES
SUBVER:APP_5.2.0
the INF file data in the 5.43.A.R2 firmware, in the SMEG_PLUS_UPG folder it creates
709acbf4
VER:SMEG_PLUS_5.3.A3
TYPE:RELOCABLE
ID:0
COMPRESSED:NO
SIZE:164539
ENTRY:NO
SUBVER:ZAR_UMZ_4.5.8
any ideas please? I can see either set ought to lead to a falied install of both updates
