I'm also in the process of removing component protection for my newly installed MIB2 Delphi Standard (non Nav) unit with 0890D. I installed the Congo & Duke successfully. My understanding is the Congo & Duke activator is required to allow scripts to be run from the SD card, i.e. to install the patch(es). Using OBD Eleven I enabled developer mode, then I could go to the Green Engineering Menu where I found Ethernet already enabled under Debugging. At first the IP address (I was expecting 192.168.1.4) was blank but after plugging into the USB port it appeared. Then I followed the "DLink" method to run the commands (including backup, 1st step) for the CP patch. It executed fine however it would not boot at all, even after several attempts holding down the power button for 30 seconds. At this point I thought I had bricked it and realized the 0890D patch (delphibin.ifs) I had found was for 0890D for the "Plus" version and not the Standard that I have. Even though it wouldn't boot I could still connect with Putty so I repeated the CP patch procedure using the backed-up (original delphibin.ifs), to try to restore it to the original state (i.e. boots with CP active) and this was successful fortunately (i.e. recovered). The above was my plan B for CP fix, my plan A was to have the VW Dealer do it (i.e. with ODIS). Near me there are 5 VW Dealerships, none of them had any clue of what component protection was but there was one dealer that said they could do it for $60 (1/3rd of an hour), when I got there (made an appointment) they realized the had quoted me "radio recoding", i.e. I guess that dates back to the old VW radios (like I had in my 1987 Golf MK2), they said they had a technician ("Infotainment Guru") who could do it but even he didn't know about CP deactivation so would have to figure it out, and I would be charged $180 per hour!! Coming back to my Plan B, having been able to recover from the wrong delphibin.ifs once, I decided to give another go, using the file recommended in the above DIY, knowing it was not the matching S/W train as mine. It executed fine but no luck, would not boot. Worse still, the Ethernet no longer worked (Putty) so now I thought I've really bricked it...without the ability to run the commands to revert to original. But, I decided to try adding the delphi.sh file to the SD card (also with original delphibin.ifs), stuck it in the SD slot and did the manual reboot using power button hold. After doing this (and to be honest I don't know why it worked, I was guessing) it was recovered, albeit with CP still active. Today I called my VW mechanic (not the Dealer!) and he's connected me with a local guy who has a lot of experience with the MIB's including CP removal, he charges $125 (CAD) to do it. Hope that works otherwise I guess my Plan C with be to try to find a proven version of software version and delphibin.ifs patche that will work with it. Stay tuned...
