Putting the ISO file on the USB will not work. You definitely need to unpack the ISO file onto a USB or burn the ISO to a DVD using an ISO burner program.
would it be possible to let me know if I have the right files? The 3 options I posted were scripted to me from a friend - so I’m not even sure what that means but he will, so I will relay the details.
but I am still not 100% sure I’m using the correct ISO files. Do you by chance have links to the proper files?
if there was anyone willing to help with a HDD-SSD clone that would be greatly appreciated!! I’m not scared to pull it apart - but I’m not very computer savvy.
How are yall setting up the USB? I’m told there are 3 possibilities:
1) place the .ISO file from google drive directly onto the USB like a hard drive
2) unpack the .ISO and place all of the individually contained files onto the USB
3) Use some sort of PC program to actually burn the .ISO to the USB drive to make it a bootable drive. I tried this with a program called Rufus and it didn’t work as the .ISO is in a proprietary format it didn’t recognize
any and all help or guidance is GREATLY APPRECIATED!! Thank you! Current PCM situation… that’s all it does lol
You may or may not have the correct program to update but it sounds to me like your hard drive has bad sectors which will not allow you to complete. That is usually why you are having the problem to begin with.

Thank you @MaxBlack Do you know if it’s possible to use a close of someone else’s PCM?
I don’t have a donor…. yet… but I’m willing to beg 😂
so you speculate my HDD is gone? Or is there a way to repair or correct the sectors?

Some people in this thread have tried to “fix” their current drive but I don’t recall an instance of a success. However I seem to recall some who cloned their current drive and then ran the update disk and had a successful result. Failing that the only solution seems to be to obtain a cloned drive from someone else. I would suggest that you clone your current drive to an SSD, run the update and see if everything is back to normal

If it is a cloned working drive using the decades old command line "dd" program (or some of those slightly more user friendly GUI programs that use dd as the backend) , there should be no need to run any kind of update unless you feel like making a version update because a clone would be a bit to bit exact copy of your old drive.
If it is a cloned working drive using the decades old command line "dd" program (or some of those slightly more user friendly GUI programs that use dd as the backend) , there should be no need to run any kind of update unless you feel like making a version update because a clone would be a bit to bit exact copy of your old drive.
Are you saying that cloning won’t help OR will help?
I am not sure how to clone but I’m not afraid to give it a shot! Do you know what SSD to copy to? Or should I find a link to an SSD in the forum somewhere?
I have already updated something (I think it’s 4.76) and now stuck in an “Emergency Update Screen” - I really wish I knew I was trying to download the right content for this.
I don’t know the “Right” software - do you or anyone else have a link they they know works? This is my screen - and this is where it stops the update. Notice the Date 12-June-15.. I really am suspicious about this being an “update” or “Up-2-Date”.
Wife just got 2013 Cayenne. It was never reported in the PPI but the HHD is dead.
We have an ISO of the PCM upgrade but it doesn't matter since the drive has os many bad escorts that we can't clone it.
Can someone help us out? I'll gladly send the new drive and will pay you for the help.
Really want to to be able to experience her, "new car," properly.
This is the direction I used to get mine back! I bought an SSD from Best Buy and a SATA/USB cable and had some help from a computer savvy friend. Works perfectly!
Go to Clonezilla.org to download Clonezilla. Once you have the Clonezilla live iso or zip file, please follow this Live CD/USB doc to put it on the USB boot media.
Put the unzipped PCM files from the linked zip file above in \home\partimag\Pcm (or folder name of your choosing) so you can access them directly from your Clonezilla bootable USB. Use the device-image option and the restoredisk function to overwrite your new SSDD with the image. There are further instructions here: Restore Disk Image
If you found this useful, drop a reply so I know it's been helpful to someone.
I am now having the same issue. Map won't load and PCM reboots every few minutes. I assume it's the hard drive. I would like to send my PCM to @jslo but can't send messages. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Follow the instructions a few posts up and make your own hard drive. Then run the update DVD. All the information you need to get your PCM running again is in this thread.
