Tomtom6 no maps found

I have downloaded TomTom v6.01 software and the Britain Map from XDA-Developers FTP server. I have tried it for the whole day but didn't get it work. I think I am not so weak in this technology but it seems I am a newbie here.
I did it the following steps.
1. Extract the TomTom_v6.01_install.zip, I found no .exe files in it, only a ttn6_setup.cab and other directories under directory of TomTom. I think this pack is for the installation on my PPC. So I copied the whole dorectory of TomTom to the PPC, under "My douments".
2. open file explorer, click on ttn6_setup.cab. It begins to install. It seems success is in my hand but,
3. after the installation finished, I extracted another RAR file which named Great_Britain_V650_Map.RAR. It creared another directory of Great_Britain_V650_Map. Entering into it, I found another directory of Great_Britain and some files under it. After reading some threads on the net, I created a directory on the SD card with the name of Great_Britain-map and then copied all the files into it.
4. Run TomTom navigator by click on start->programm->Tomtom, it went through some steps of setting language, voice, right or left hand, etc. Then it says "no maps found".
I have managed to sort this issue out in the whole day but invain. So anybody else can help me?
Thanks!

You can give this a try
- On your PC create a new text file (in notepad) called CurrentMap.txt
- In the text file write \Storage Card\Great_Britain_V650_Map\
- Save the text file
- Rename the txt file to CurrentMap.dat
- Create a folder on the device in the My Documents folder called TomTom
- Copy the new .dat file into the TomTom folder

Thanks for your reply. But still no happy.
I think I didn't do anything wrong. I followed the instruction on the net and did it in a right way. but it's strange.
Anybody else can help? Thanks!

Dear Raven2000 I appreciate your notice & complain about the piracy to the Moderators, you did a good job for that post, but sadly you have neglected someone's need, as TENMAN have asked the FTP address but you have forgotten to help him, didn't you? I think we should help a member specially if we know the answer for their query despite to think of their Juniority or Seniority.
Anyway the FTP address is as follows, I think you might need that as well:
ftp://ftp.xda-developers.com/Uploads/Software/TomTom v6 - Full Version with GB Map/
Please be helpfull

Tenman find the FTP address in my previous post, but according to my advice I have downloaded them and that TomTom is unable to search for the Maps (once installed). Finally I have managed to solve the problem with TomTom6+GB Map+Speed Camera. contact me on email.
GoodLuck
Sidd

There are some FlashDrv problems with TTN6 (or not supported issues).
You can easily overcome this by changing you "My Documents" shell folder
location. Point it at your card.

I didn't help as helping will lead to piracy. Surely having a copy of Great Britian maps on the FTP server is piracy?
Anyway, I am not taking any part in requests involving commercial applications. Besides dealing with piracy is the job of Administrators and Moderators, I don't know why I waste my time

So are you refering it to the ""Administrators and Moderators"", that they are keeping pirated stuff on their ftp?
Sidd

Without getting into the ins and outs of piracy.....
Did anyone find a conclusive way to make sure that TomTom 6.x picks up the maps on the SD Card...?

Yes I have Dibbler, email me on hotmail if you want the solution, its gonna be around 200mb, asap

I will say that we have been recently advised to remove Tom Tom from the FTP and we have complied..

This topic should not only be closed, but also deleted. Mods do your homework.

Guys, I can't believe you can be so bloody stupid.
I post and post about not distributing warez through this forum and the ftp and you guys still do it.
As I've said before this forum is a public resource - if you distribute warez through here, or "cleverly" upload it to the ftp you're not doing any of us favours. The mods have discussed this, but frankly I'm sick of guys abusing this board. We're not children. We all know how to use torrentz. Go and do your warez there. But not here.
I'm borderline on whether we should permit discussion on how to set up your clearly warez'd copies of TomTom or anything else, but frankly, this is going to be my policy as of today:
- I'm going to forward this thread to TomTom.
- I'm going to volunteer ip addresses for everyone on this thread so that they can take the matter up themselves.
And in future, if it happens again, I'm banning anyone who distributes warez. 1 warning, then an immediate ban. And if necessary, I'll start posting ip addresses publically in case any software author wants to take the issue up further.
Please note: I try not to be a hypocrite. I've expressly stated that the forum operates on a knife edge already
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1082343&postcount=5
but you can be significantly more sensible then posting warez, uploading or stating that you've downloaded them. This is your public posting, not mine. You are implicating yourself in the piracy, not me. We're a very open minded board, and what you do in your own time is your business. But do it publically and you risk yourself AND the board.
And if you risk the board, you put at risk something that I admire. Please don't do that. I've said before, if you're such a noob that you can't even find warez without someone showing you, write to me. I'll point you in the right direction. But please don't post or upload warez on this forum/ftp.
V
PS. I can't believe TomTom make it near impossible to find their email address. Lol, they really don't help themselves.

[CLOSED][guide]Block porn sites easily

Moderator Announcement: Thread closed as download link is broken! Oswald Boelcke, Senior Moderator
Title says all just follow this simple steps to block porn sites.
all credit goes to the creator of this app.
i have just made a video to make it simple
download link:- https://labs.xda-developers.com/store/app/org.pornaway
if you want to know how to use it .then here it is

Eh is this me or ya'll?
After stalking Ops profile he's just tryin to promote his videos.

okay .same here then..parents will do their duty and kids will their.it depends who is smarter to win the game.but u know what ,what i will do????. i love sharing and i will do it.

Hey OP, just a fair reminder, if you keep post links about YouTube tuts in here, then most of em' here including me will think like he's promoting his videos / channel etc...
So they gonna report your threads, Infact I've had reported a Buncha threads like that.
So, try to write tuts in here first, then link yo YouTube videos you're good to go.
Regarding your threads, there is already one with the same intention - *Ref

Thread cleaned.
As long as there is a valid download link and only one link to the video we will allow it but I do agree with the post above, it is better to write tutorials rather than just post a link to a video

Best way to block porn on android that i've found is to use a Private DNS in your phone Settings like adult-filter-dns.cleanbrowsing.org and then use an AppLock(also give Advanced protection so the app could not be uninstalled) to lock Settings and Playstore,obviously you have to ask someone close to you to set an applock pattern or password for you and don't forget it so when you need to enter settings or playstore you would ask him/her to enter the password.
There is also an app called Bulldog blocker that is very helpful,i've used the app for a couple of days and you can set a timer from where you will have to wait an hour,three,one day or two days in a weak moment to unlock the app or uninstall it but i've found that the app it doesn't work all the time,also i've encountered slow internet connection because the app uses VPN.

Feature Request: Delete XDA account via web interface!

There are extensive possibilities to edit an XDA account. Your can specify and fiddle with almost everything. But:
The essential option 'delete account' is missing!
This should have been implemented directly after the 'register account' functionality. Actually even before that!
Please fix this! (In fact, this is not a 'feature request' but a bug report.)

This may not be something that is clearly pointed out for many but, it's available.
If you go to the following link...
https://www.xda-developers.com/contact/
... You'll see various options available to you like the "Change username or cancel an account."
If that preferred method doesn't work out for you, you can also contact an administrator like @MikeChannon via PM or email and he'll be more than happy to help you out with account management/support.
Good Luck!

Sorry, it's NOT available. What you tell me to do, is to fill out the contact form. That's not what is widely considered as a web interface.
Or would you say, the 'register new user' functionality was complete by saying: "Well, just send an email to the administrator and beg for an account."
I suppose not. I'm disappointed by that answer.

Yeah, that's better than nothing. But:
I can edit my user profile and settings just like that, while I am logged in. I don't have to type in my user name and email again and again. How does that work? Well: because I am logged in already!
But the said deletion process totally ignores that I am logged in. I have to enter my details again and then have a verification... yaaawn.
Why do sites like XDA put up so many artificial obstacles for people to get away.
The easier a process is, the more likely people will follow it. So, if the process was just one or two clicks away, your could boost the number of canceled accounts. Wouldn't that be something?

Well small sites and sites that moderate content before it shows in open forums may allow user controlled account deletion. However, many larger sites and sites that permit user content to show instantly, generally do not allow users/members to delete their own accounts. Why? well because it opens the door to assive amounts of abuse. A user could post all kinds of bad stuff and then delete the account thus making the culprit uncatchable, unstoppable. You see an account deletion that is compliant with GDPR meansno trace is left of the account. That means remaining posts cannot be tracked and cannot even be found since the user database no longer recognises the account. So we would have no idea where the user had posted or how many times... important if it is abusive or spam content.
In addition user controlled account deletion would render anning users effectively useless because the user wouldb still need access to the sites account deletion system even if banned. It would allow them to delete their account and simply create another one immediately.
We have multiple thousands of users online at a time, 60000 posts per day and because we cannot monitor all that in real time we have to have some control over what the "bad" users are doing. Changing user names and creating / deleting accounts every other day are things we would be 100% guaranteed to suffer from if we handed over direct control. We have massive numbers of users and inevitably we are constantly challenged by hackers, DDOS attackers, spammers and other abusers and the ability to create and delete accounts with ease is not a good idea for us or the "good" users who would suffer the ill effects if we changed things.
Mike

Thanks for the clarification.

Question Circumventing application device ban

Does anyone know how to know how to circumvent a device ban on android? Clearing cache, deleting app, deleting app history does not work. They are placing a device ban for this particular app on the phone.
Any recommendations or advice appreciated.
Thank you.

They who. What app

Tinder

Maybe "They" think it is not appropriate. Any other app being blocked? When blocked does it give you some info/message

Am just trying to figure out how to circumvent a device ban. Have been researching xprivacy and things like this but have not quite figure out how they are linking the device. Even a factory reset doesn’t work.

If a factory reset didn't fix it I'd wonder if your phone is even legal? That pretty much has to be the IMEI is banned AFAIK.
Did you buy it from a legit source?

Probably IMEI based. That's what other apps like Snapchat have used for handing out device bans. You can't circumvent it if its IMEI based unless you know how to mask it or spoof it. The app may also look for additional things like the MAC address and IP address in combination.

Hello and good afternoon, @Journyman16
Just for your information: We do not allow discussions of or support for the change or edit of IMEI's. But we accept if the discussion is about the restoration or repair of the original IMEI. And we also allow spoofing or masking of IMEI as long as it's done on sofware level and the actual, original IMEI isn't tampered with. Spoofing of IMEI's is mainly used out of privacy concerns; however, if such talks deviate to illegal purposes we'd highly appreciate a report.

Thanks for clarifying Oswald. I didn't know how it might be seen by XDA. TBH I didn't really know what a 'device ban' is having only heard of IMEI's being banned after the phone being stolen.

There used to be some ways to do that (with root) on older android versions, but i've never needed to try anything like this personally.
I believe there are xposed modules purpose built for obfuscating IMEI, MAC address and IP address, to disallow apps from identifying devices, like xprivacy, but again, I don't think these work on newer versions of Android.
You can try, but going by my current knowledge (on newer android versions), the only recourse you have is to get a new device (and preferably use a different account) to log into the app in question if it really matters to you.

There are many apps that use "device ban" in addition to "account ban". They usually create a device ID in their database which is based on IMEI, MAC address and IP addresses, and can deny access to their services based on one or more of these identifiers.
Game companies do this all the time, and social media companies like SnapChat and TikTok also employ similar banning techniques. And over the years, it's getting damn near impossible to circumvent these bans. Upto Android 6, you could just provide fake device identifiers to the app with xposed modules and mess around with them but with all the exploits being patched, it is no longer that easy on a software level now.

Thanks for the response
We have tried xprivacy and haven’t had much luck. I’m trying to figure out what the next step is

If you have nothing constructive and helpful to say, it is probably better to say nothing.

@Laser422 What do you mean by "device ban"? Are you saying that the Play Store won't let you install the app? Can you provide screenshots? What make and model is your phone, and what OS version are you running? Is your bootloader unlocked and are you rooted?
Do this:
Go to Play Store. Tap profile icon upper right. Tap Settings.
Expand About section. Do you see "Play Protect certification - Device is certified"?

That wouldn't prevent him from installing the app. He just wouldn't be able to log in.

Or using a company phone with policy in place only allowing some apps
