Repair bricked PNA / GPS Navigation with Windows CE
This guide is for bricked/dead YFGPS 3.5″ Chinese / no name PNA devices (GPS Navigations with Windows CE), most of them are made by YFGPS, and the only difference between all models is the main housing. If your PNA is powered by SAMSUNG S3C2440 400Mhz, Windows CE 4.2 and the screen is 3.5″ – this guide is for you 🙂
First, you need to know, which is your PNA version? Type of Nand Flash/ SDRAM/ Processor?
Here we have some specs example of YFGPS device:
ROM Version: V26_Y17S_T4_1_10, WINCE 4.2 CORE for PNA GPS_MODEL_17_S_V1 2006-11-04
CPU: Samsung S3C2440AL-40 400MHz
ROM: NANDFLASH 32MB (Samsung K9F5608U0D)
RAM: SDRAM 64MB (2 x W9825G6CH-75)
LCD: TFT 3,5″
How-to flash your bricked/dead PNA and bring it to the life again:
1. Place all files on a FAT formatted SD card (don’t use SDHC cards):
Boot17S.bld
Logo17S.bmp
OS17S.img
U2B17S.bld
YFAPP.wzp
YFormat.fmt
Note: in the GPS.rar archive there two versions of the ROM, if your device starts with inverted colors use the files from the second archive.
2. Reboot your PNA, now it will get start the update process.
Follow the instructions on the screen and you will get to the main menu after few minutes 🙂
You are done, your Windows CE PNA GPS is working again!

Hello,
unfortunately I made a mistake in the process to edit the registry of a SkyWay navi 3545 and now is bricked, hanging on the startup screen.
I tried with your files with no result, though from your .rar archive Boot17s.bld and Logo17s.bmp are missing.
The only extra detail that I can tell you are that:
– System is (…was…) Win CE 5 Build 1400
– I have another identical device, fully functional and unlocked with the opportunity to drag any file in case of need..
– I did not find any else detail on the HW, I can tell you that the memory card used is a micro-se 1 Gb with FAT16 format.
Many thanks in advance for your help.
Roberto
