It looks like the update has corrupted the software on the device so it might be fixable as it is or you'll have to wipe it and start again

1. Plug it in to the PC and copy ALL of the files to a safe place as a backup
2. You can download the updated software for your device here: [Please Register or Login to download file]
3. Extract the software to your device overwriting everything it asks about
4. Hopefully that'll fix it and it will now turn on again properly (if not, delete all of the files on the device and extract the new software to the device & try it again)

Your questions:

1. Yes, you can install the latest maps in the space you have available on the device
2. The standard TomTom voices are available here but I don't think Serbian is available
3. The latest 1065 maps are available here
3a. Recommended map: Europe_East 1065_10690 (1.47GB)

Ok, good job...for info, the software you downloaded is the latest official TomTom operating system for your XXL direct from TomTom themselves

There is a separate thread on voices where everything is explained here

That is a different map from my recommendation, but it is your choice

The error message is quite normal, it is because you haven't activated the map or patched the device yet.
1. Download FastActivate from [Please Register or Login to download file] (PW: navitotal)
2. Extract it to the root of your XXL and run FastActivate.exe
3. Select option 2 to activate the map (you will see *.DCT = Ok message)
4. Select option 3 to patch the system to accept downloaded maps (wait a few moments and you will see patch successful message)
5. Done...disconnect and test

Extras. You can download the latest SpeedCams files from here
1. Extract the relevant countries SpeedCam files into the map folder on your XXL (DO NOT JUST EXTRACT ALL OF THEM OR YOU WILL HAVE PROBLEMS)
2. Run FastActivate.exe again and select option 2 to activate them

See [Please Register or Login to download file] for the map coverage at the bottom of the page

Yes, that is the Europe East 1065.10690 (Inc. Russia) map I recommended...your error picture above shows Central and Eastern Europe (No Russia)

It is up to you which map you choose providing it will fit in the space available on your device and contains the countries you want...you can keep the Central and Eastern Europe if you don't want Russia? For best results, look at Poteo_Roke's map coverage document here

Ok, no problem

No, all 1065.10690 maps are of the same quality, it is just the countries that are different. (1065.10690 maps are the best ones with all of the advanced features that your device can use)

Yes, it all looks good...you should take it for a drive to test it

First i wish to thank you for your fast help and support!! Without you i will not make this, thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I go to drive and it looks that map is looks good. Some things is a little annoying, but its probably because its old device.
1. He inform me about toll roads, its ok. But i cant see in that moment on map where toll roads is.
2. Where he find me route, i dont find a way to zoom on that moment to see if this route is great for me.
3. A lot places he told me that is unnamed street.
4. I want when i see route he choose, at least i see all cities on map.

You're welcome...you can consider making a donation to help with the site costs and become a VIP member: donation.php

1. Look into the Change Preferences menu on the XXL...there you will find many settings on Toll roads etc
2. Same as answer 1. When route planning, choose from fastest route, shortest route etc etc
3. They are only unnamed street because of the map...TomTom needs to add those street names to their maps (nothing we can do about that)
4. Same as answer 1.

Yes, it is an older device but it is still very good and now fully up to date with latest software and map.
I think you should go through the settings and spend some time getting accustomed to your XXL
