Volkswagen RNS 510 SWL Recovery CD for Gateway Error 202 or Boot Problems

Download Unofficial SWL recovery CD

This is used if the unit is stuck with Gateway Error 202 or similar and is unable to boot after the upgrade. It’s based on the 272x firmware but can be used to recover RNS 510′s running any version. Insert the media into the RNS 510 and start a new SWL process by pressing Setup + Eject +Info/Mic (top right hand button next to the DVD slot). It will attempt to restore a new SWL process and will enable it to boot up. (Thanks Josi)

      Hi “up4anything”,

      same story here with my Columbus sitting in a Skoda Octavia2 face-lift…

      - after upgrade I lost touch-screen functionality (and also the upgrade failed)
      - downgrade to 1164 stopped with Gateway Error 202
      - using Josi’s 2720_fix.nrg helped to boot the device
      - but: touchscreen still not working, no audio from speakers, no navigation in MFD at cockpit

      Really frustrating…
      What can I try next (before walking embarrassed to my Skoda dealer)?

      Best regards,
      Pete

        Try to load 2680 software. As it is factory CD, it will reset everything. After update coding must be performed by VCDS or dealer VAS system to reenable audio and MFD display.

          Hi Josi,

          thanks for your posting here this afternoon.
          I planned to visit the Skoda dealer today after lunch but thought to give it one last try before that with an image now burned on a CD with ImgBurn and 4x speed. So I prepared a CD with 266x and 1164. I tried the 266x first and the unbelievable happened: SWL success!!!
          Everything back to normal plus features from the 266x-version.

          I don’t wish all that stress and worries anyone.
          Consider to go and check first with your VW/Skoda-dealer if you haven’t done this flash-procedure before.

          Best regards and thanks again to Josi for all his efforts,
          Pete (happy again)

    When loading my RNS510 2760 failed, the error occurred when I was loading the system, ie when the load empiesa the home screen and a white box in the upper left leaves a
    load bar fine which I fail to load. So I think that the starter is bad
    I think the only solution is to go straight through the board connectors
    base and reprogram the system to boot, theory for now, and I seek no more
    find anything.

      Hej Kenneth
      Har læst, at du har styr på RNS510, har forsøgt at ringe på 40797800, men nummer eksisterer ikke. Jeg har store problemer med min 510′er . Den starter og skriver “welcome to volksvagen” står et minuts tid, og slukker så. Så går der et min eller og så begynder den forfra, og kommer aldrig længere. Den har kørt uden problemer i meterne 4 år. Jeg har prøvet at reset’ e den med de 3 knapper. Den får også et input, mem det ændrer ikke noget.
      Kan du hjælpe mig?
      Mvh Curt Stender

    i have bought a RNS 510 from ebay (Lithuania).
    the unit came with SW 3800 and V7 maps (yesterday i installed V7.1 CD_7420).
    Actually i am not that satisfied because the antenna has started to loose the current position.
    What can i do about?
    Does anyone have any suggestion? (maybe CD_7388?)

    I am really worried about this unit for what the seller has done into it.
    is there any way to find out if this unit has been modified or has been object of an operation?
    or if this unit is stolen somehow?
    I want to be sure that in case i will try to upgrade, the unit won’t freeze for ever and loose my money.
    is there any way to check it in order to avoid upgrade and keep it this way (so far it plays normally all the functions).
    So it might be more convenient to avoid any upgrade and let it live with SW3800

      You have different possibilities: Put the device out of the car and take a look at the (warranty labels) scribal abbreviations. If they are ok, the unit was not opened! You should also compare the Numbers (identification) that are printed on the Device!

      your second possibility is to have someone who has an RNS510 Manager;)

      Normaly if your unit has now broken warranty labels the unit has not been opened and you could update without any problems!

    Hey,
    i read so much about RNS510update, and i decided to do it. I have an A version made from Siemens (not Continental) (originaly HW:04, SW:1020). The unit is absolutely not stolen (I bought it for 3 Years at my Volkswagen dealer) and I get, the same as many other, the gateway 202 Error at 87% (10%gateway), by updating to 1100. I put in the 2720 gateway error recovery CD and now the unit works again on 1100, so far so good. BUT the steering wheel buttons are completely disabled (coding with VCDS, I had no sucess)…before on 1020 they were working. So I think, this was the problem of the gateway error 202, so that the buttons are not able to communicate with the Navigation any more…
    When I try SW 1020 or SW1200, my unit will always stuck on Gateway Error 202…what is the Problem?! The unit works absolutely fine, except steering wheel buttons!
    My question: has anyone the same problems, and was anyone possible to fix it? Does anyone, with an Siemens RNS510,succeeded in Updating it completely?

    Thank you very much! Michael
