Mio c310x - SEC S3C2410X Test B/D driver not found

The problems during firmware update manifest them selves in a variety of ways. 1. Blue screen of death 2. Computer restarts 3. Update application complains that the SEC S3C2410X driver is unavailable. I have 3 computers and I had all 3 of the above problems. Once I got the updated driver - everything worked - smooth as silk! The update has 2 steps. 1. Update the firmware and 2. Update the maps. I was having problems with step 1. Everytime I would start the update firmware app, MIO device would be restarted in a special mode and at that point it would require a driver called "SEC S3C2410X Test B/D". Without this the firmware would not uptake to the device. The Mio was being started in a special mode so as to update the firmware and thus needed a special driver for this boot loader mode. This driver is available in the following file: http://www.klubin.hrleon.com/pda/ROM_do_p550_rg.zip (25mb) or you can download just the driver files from http://www.gpspassion.com/upload/SECdriver.zip Here are the steps: 1. Download the file - duh! 2. Unzip it 3. "secbulk.inf file" is the file used to install the driver. If you used ROM_do_p550_rg.zip, then within the folder "USBDownloaderFirware" you will find the secbulk.inf file. If you used SECdriver.zip - then the inf file is right in there. 5. Make sure that you have the USB drivers installed for your MIO. (The USB drivers are in the Update DVD - install\usbdriver - just right click on the WCEUSBSH.inf file and select Install) 6. Plugin your MIO. 7. Start the update firmware app. (Either through the auto start program or its the iboot.exe file in the folder install\iboot). 8. Click the update button. 9. Your Mio device should shut down and restart automatically. When it comes back up it should have something like "processing upgrade...." on its screen. Your computer will complain that you dont have the drivers for "SEC S3C2410X Test B/D". 10. If you get the screen that allows you to point to the driver file then point it at the "secbulk.inf" file that you downloaded. (its in the USBDownloaderFirware folder if you used the Rom_do.... download). If you dont get the screen - then right click on My Computer and select "Properties". Goto the device manager. You should see a device with an error mark called "SEC S3C2410X Test B/D". You should be able to right click on it and select "Update". Again point it to the SecBulk.inf file in the USBDownLoaderFirware folder. 11. Now disconnect your MIO and perform a hard reset (turn on and off the button at the bottom). 12. Re-connect. 13. Cross your fingers and toes. 14. Run the update app iboot.exe (Install\iboot folder of the upgrade DVD). It should bring you back to the following screen 15. Hit Update. (Remember - once the firmware has been updated - all your old maps will not work. Though in most cases all your old settings - like custom POIs should all work. Also if you have customized your data.zip file - back it up - as it will be overwritten). (The screen while the device is in the special boot loader mode - that allows for the firmware to be updated). 16. Hopefully - the firmware will upload to your device. Once the firmware has been updated - all your old maps are useless and you will have to update the maps to the new ones provided on the DVD.
