ExceptionList BUG
F&Q
Your unit was patched before April 2020?
- Most likely EL (ExceptionList.txt) based patch was used.
- It turned out, that especially on Audi units this kind of patch could cause the unit to freeze up during boot.
- Unit does not react to any button or screen inputs and it is rebooting every 60s.
Fix frozen unit
Unit is still accessible via telnet and uart.
Access unit via Putty and run the following command:
rm /mnt/efs-persist/FEC/mmx_fec_ids.bin
Switch to FecContainer.fec based patch
To permanently fix this issue you have to replace the custom EL with the stock one and edit the FecContainer.fec. Most of the patches available before April 2020 had already a FEC patch included, so applying a new ifs-root-stage2 is not required in most cases.
Use M.I.B and run the following command to replace EL with stock version (BUG free) and edit FecContainer.fec:
