I'm sure there must be other ways to get an uncorrupted file, but this is at least one way. I conclude that the Update files set up by Ford are in fact complete and intact, but that they get 'damaged' during the multi-stage download procedure which involves the update file repository url , the Ford Update website app , the internet from node to node , my home broadband provider, the broadband performance, my router, my domestic network with either WiFi or Ethernet connection to the PC I have chosen for the task, and the Browser and operating system it uses.
No wonder downloads so often fail! The route Scoggy describes breaks this process down into discrete and sequential steps, obviating almost inevitable contentions. I'm experiencing exactly the same problems as Jeanette Brown Just CAN'T get this download to work!! I downloaded a software update for my Mondeo on 7-Jan and had the same problem unzipping it. Tried again today 2-Feb and the site says " Your software is already up-to-date.
No action is required. Suspect Ford have withdrawn the update. WOW thank you! I've been having the exact same problem. Tried it on several computers, PC and Mac, and so many different programs and always got the same error you did.
I followed these steps from another ford forums and it worked perfectly for me:. It may have been mentioned in this thread already or others I was looking at. It has to do with unobservable connection interruptions or something. This is what I did but full disclosure it did take 2 attempts. On the first I still had a file issue but it was only 1 instead of 2 files which gave me hope to try again. I used chrome in an incognito tab.
You need a google drive, drop box I did Google drive. Click through until you get begin download. There is the link to the download in there. Copy that and save it somewhere for later. Name it whatever you want and click ok. Multicloud is going to handle downloading the file into your Google drive and it's designed to not drop data and pick up exactly where it left off if there are any connection issues But again I did have to do this twice.
On the second try I received no errors when using 7zip to unzip it. Try downloading on a mobile device using a download mansger called ADM.
The problem could be that the download stream is interrupting therefore corrupring the file. ADM auto-resumes and runs even when the device is on stand-by unlike any device resident download software. Of course the filw will still need a PC to prepare for installation on an usb stick but I did this for my last update and it was all good.
Try unzipping to temporary directory on drive C rather than direct to the memory stick. Then copy the files across. This cant be a problem on 4 computers, 1 phone and 1 tablet. See below. Have you tried redownloading the file from Ford? Or are you just grabbing it from onedrive each time? If the copy you have on onedrive has got corrupted, it will be corrupted on all devices you try to open it on.
Start from scratch. Format it to EXFAT even if it is already to ensure it's totally wiped and there are no hidden recycle bin files. Download files to computer and then do the base unzip to the drive. Go from there and see how you get on. Keep the car running whilst updating I prefer to go for a nice cruise somewhere rather than sitting on a driveway any interruptions in power to the system from just sitting without the engine running will stall the install.
Unplug all other usb drives if any as they can confuse the system. There is no point telling us to do anything with the steps to do with the car as we can not get the files out of the downloaded zip. There are several threads complaining of the same error with the download file, where in each of them you tell us to "try download it again", "make sure the USB is fast enough", "make sure the USB has enought space", "Make sure you only unzip the down load file".
Instead of the same set of instuctions making out as if we keep doing something wrong, please perform the steps you recomend to us and if you are able to get the file to unzip with out error, provide us with a detailed list of steps that include URL's, tools and applications we should use. Now, save or transfer the files to the USB.
Note that Ford recommends using a USB storage device that has at least 32GB of free space, and not password protected. Take the USB to your vehicle. Remove all other USB connections. Insert your USB with the software update. It will automatically begin updating. This will upgrade SYNC 3 from versions 1. You were warned. However, for model years, you can now update SYNC 3 to be compatible with the latest smartphone technology. There are various versions of the SYNC system depending on the year, model and trim level of the vehicle.
For this update to work, it must be the SYNC 3 version. Use at your own risk. Video How-To same principle as shown in the video except that you download the individual files from my side but final step of uploading the verification file to the Ford server is omitted.
Here is the folder structure : Download. Here is the folder structure: Download. Here ist the folder structure: Download. Here for everyone who wants to update directly to SYNC 3.
