Nie, dziękuję Przekieruj mnie tamI need ce image for mdpn465t 5.0
Key points
• Contact Medion first → ask for “MDPNA 465T Windows CE 5.0 restore image”.
• Use only an R15 image on R15 hardware and R22 on R22 hardware.
• Generic CE 5.0 ROMs (Internet Archive VHDs, emulator builds, etc.) do not contain the required touchscreen, GPS, audio, TMC and battery drivers – they will not boot.
• Flashing is done from a FAT-formatted (not FAT32) ≤2 GB SD card; loss of power during flashing bricks the unit.
Device architecture
• CPU: Samsung S3C2440 (ARM920T) @ 300 MHz
• Bootloader: proprietary Medion SPL + Eboot in NAND
• Storage: 64 MB NAND (“My Flash Disk”) + SD slot
• Two HW revisions: R15 (older) and R22 (new PCB/layout). Each revision needs its own NK.bin / WINCEIMG.BIN because driver physical addresses differ.
Why the image is device-specific
Windows CE is supplied to OEMs in source form; the OEM links in BSP drivers (LCD timing, touch ADC, GPS UART, power IC, etc.) and produces a monolithic WINCEIMG.BIN + checksum (WINCEIMG.CKS). A “generic” build for an emulator stops at the kernel loader when run on real hardware.
Typical content of a Medion CE 5.0 flash set
\SD\
├─ WINCEIMG.BIN ≈ 30 MB OS image
├─ WINCEIMG.CKS 16-byte CRC
├─ UPDATE.GNS script that calls the bootloader’s SD update routine
└─ AUTORUN.EXE initiates update if the bootloader lacks auto-detect
Common failure modes
• Stuck at “GoPal” splash → NAND corruption → re-flash.
• Blue/black screen with checksum error → wrong *.CKS or wrong HW revision.
• No SD boot → card >2 GB, FAT32, or SD socket defect.
• Medion’s public “Download & Support” pages were purged for devices older than GoPal 6 in 2019.
• The company still provides legacy recovery images if you quote S/N; response time typically 3-5 working days (DACH region).
• Community mirrors (GPSPower, Elektroda) keep archives alive, but direct links are often hidden to comply with takedown rules – you usually need to PM a moderator for the link.
• Enthusiasts today often “unlock” the 465T (MortScript + TotalCommander) instead of full flashing, because navigation software like iGO Primo can run from SD without touching the OS.
Future outlook: 20-year-old WinCE navigation PNAs are being retired; map providers have dropped Navteq/TeleAtlas 2009 formats. Expect shrinking community support and broken download links – create local backups now.
• Checking HW revision: open “TMC socket” cover, read the silk-printed PCB rev, or in working units go to Settings → Version → “HW Rev.”.
• Bootloader key combo (classical Medion):
• Windows CE 5.0 is still under Microsoft OEM licence; redistribution without Medion/Microsoft permission infringes copyright.
• Using third-party ROMs may void any remaining warranty and violate EU conformity (CE mark originally granted for factory firmware).
• Beware of malware-laden “patched” ROMs on file-sharing sites. Always verify SHA-256 hashes against forum-posted checksums.
Official route
• Create Medion service ticket → “Request restore/flash package for MD 97969 (MDPNA 465T), Windows CE 5.0”.
• Provide device S/N, proof of purchase if asked.
• Medion sends you a ZIP or DVD ISO; follow enclosed PDF.
Community route (if Medion declines)
• Register at gpspower.net → search “Medion 465T R15 ROM” or “465T R22 ROM”.
• Read thread for matching HW rev and language set (DE, EU, UK).
• Download, verify checksum, unzip to ≤2 GB SD (FAT16).
• Flash using steps above; keep AC adapter connected.
Post-flash
• Remove SD immediately after success to avoid endless re-flash loop.
• Re-calibrate screen, set locale, then back up the fresh NAND (“My Flash Disk”) to PC via ActiveSync/WMDC.
Potential challenges & solutions
• “Card not recognised” – use old SanDisk 1 GB non-HC, re-format FAT.
• “Update failed error 0x05” – wrong *.cks, download again.
• Device totally dead – check for hidden “USB download mode” (JP1 pads) or JTAG, but repair often uneconomical.
• Even with the correct image, NAND flash wear-out or MCU BGA solder fatigue can prevent a successful restore.
• Map updates for GoPal 3/4 are officially discontinued; third-party map packs may breach licence terms.
• Some units ship with 64 MB RAM; heavy modern navigation apps will crash regardless of OS version.
• Preservation: dump the bootloader region with JTAG/OpenOCD to keep a digital backup before the community disappears.
• Porting: investigate running Linux 2.6 on S3C2440 with framebuffer to repurpose the 465T as a low-power IoT display.
• Documentation: archive Medion GoPal Assistant 4.x installers and USB drivers on open‐source mirrors (e.g. archive.org) for future restorers.
The Windows CE 5.0 firmware for the Medion GoPal MDPNA 465T is not publicly hosted. The safest path is to request the official “restore/flash package” from Medion Support, referencing your device’s serial number and hardware revision. If that fails, obtain the exact R15 or R22 image from reputable GPS/PNA community forums, copy it to a ≤2 GB FAT SD card, and flash following the standard Medion SD-update procedure while powered from AC. Use only device-specific images; generic CE 5.0 builds will not boot. Always observe legal constraints, verify checksums, and keep backups to avoid irreparable damage.
