Exactly Main/swdl in the green menu. Tick Ignore Variant and Region.

I don't think so you need to do these update. What car do you have ?

PM and I'll send you a good link for your MMI type

One important thing !! Check carrefully your car type with the FW you want to upgrade.
What is your car ? Any wrong manipulation can brick your MMI so don't install any FW if you are no sure !!

According to Carpediem I think you have to update the two following for you MMI3G.

8R0906961CC - K_0253 EU
8R0906961DF - K_0257 EU

But the Carpediem link for map update is designed for Basic MMI. You have to download the same link for MMI3GP.
Exactly same map.

Good luck

For your safety do in order

- Update 8R0906961CC - K_0253 EU then 8R0906961DF - K_0257 EU (NO 0767 DH !!!)
- Enable Ignore Variant and Region
- Update 8R0060884BK ece 6.17.13 map

I've sent you a Pm

You're right

First do the 2 updates after that enable ignore region, update the maps and activate the maps. After that you're done

You dont need to have VCDS - use script which I posted some weeks ago - you can find it in this thread

and again atached below - just use it then green menu will be open without VCDS

Hello!

Today I updated Audi A7 2011 with MMI 3G+ system. It originally had 0140 firmware which I updated to 0770. Then updated map to 2014 version. Ran the Carson hack/script and all went well - map activated and all good.

So next step was missing VIN - I took the VIN patcher from this topic (tried versions 1.0.0.3 and 1.0.0.6). First tried with 0.6 - though with showing error, it created the SD, ran the script, received texts.jar. Put the SD back to PC - opened texts.jar, pushed Patch, all ok. Then created Patch SD (I wasnt sure if to use same SD which currently had files on it already or to format ant put on the clean SD) - again with errors, seemed to add files on it. But no message on the end of process (no "OK").

Restarted MMI - result STILL NO VIN?? So tried this couple of times, same result. Just in case tested with 0.3 vesion of VINpatcher which lead me to..

THE PROBLEM - after few times trying to restore VIN MMI went crazy - lost most of the background images and menu images. It lets to choose radio, navigation and so on. But for example - car menu images are all gone. You can choose from between menu items, but you cannot see what they are.
Checked engineering menu - also without images. There are fields, but cannot see names (for example right bottom button goes to Update but no text visible).

Only thing correctly working is Hidden/Green Menu. From there its possible to adjust or select. But I did not modify anything there. Only thing I did was do remove error 03175 - add 1 to carmenuoperation elements and after that removing that 1 from all of them. Which removes that fault.


Is there any way to restore MMI back to normal state (with background images) or roll back/restore original firmware?? It should restore everything back to normal.

I say once again - this all happened after VIN-patcher. Before that and after map activation all was fine.


Please help!

Maybe emergency update? @paszczak or @walawa75 know the solution?

[walawa75]

Yes Carpediem you are right !!!

Dear AnTTO

Put a SD with the 0770 FW in slot 1.
Then go in green menu system/emergencyupdate
Restart and wait.

Just a question. You did FW 0140 to 0770 update without the intermediates FW update ? If yes crazy !!

[AnTTo]

Thank for information. What is the result of emergency update? In what state does it bring the system?

And is it always necessary to install middle versions? (Yes, I updated from low version to final version) Why not go straight to final version? Updates were all 100% ok and system worked ok. Just after VIN patcher it messed up somehow.
