Nuvi didn't recreated GarminDevice.xml in Garmin folder I have created. My Nuvi has folder Garmin only without file inside it.
Look in garmin folder if you have inside garmindevice.xml or maybe garmindevice.tmp if you have tmp just rename to .xml and webupdater will see device.
If this don't work then try this:
Flash in pre boot again with folder original and then use prepusb and set it like on picture and format
Then create empty folder Garmin and turn off/on device and you will hawe garmindevice.xml inside folder garmin and webupdater will see device.

This is the problem !
When you connect to Applications Webupdater, Garmin Express, Mapsource, Mapinstall,GarminMapudater and other Garmin and ThirdParty Applications
The Application reads Garmindevice.xml to see the model of your Nuvi, Firmware Revision, Unit Id and what files your Nuvi Needs.
This File is re-created on every Full Boot, if you have added a Voice it will be reflected in this file as Installed with Revision Number and Part Number.
You could call this file "The Nuvi Registry" and it is externally accessible via USB Mode.
To cut a long story short. Your Nuvi needs this file to be working properly so that you can connect to garmin APPS.
Does your Nuvi boot Properly to the Where to Screen ?
Can you use this Nuvi for Navigation ?
What was done to this Nuvi before it Bricked ?

Nuvy had worked properly for 2 years (before the problem I've mentioned). The problem started when I killed the car's engine (it didn't shut down automatically), so I did the forced shutdown.
The last attempt I've achived was formatted Nuvi by RMPrepUSB and made Garmin new folder in directory G. I've kept my old GarminDevice.xml in my PC.
Have you flashed in Original Mode using Garmincure 3 ?
The Nuvi could still be running with the Cure Firmware which is not bootable.

Here we go steb by step:
1.) download and extract on desktop folder original from rar
[Only registered and activated users can see links. ]
2.) open folder original and open updater.exe
3.) add dot beside USB and then mouse pointer on OK button ( don't click OK button)
4.) add finger in uper left corner of nuvi screen and with other hand connect nuvi to Pc
5.) when you connect nuvi to pc nuvi will turn on and when you see in updater.exe usb window your nuvi model, click buton OK in updater.exe
6.) when you see on nuvi screen loader loading you can remove finger from nuvi screen
7.) when flash is over, your nuvi will connect with Pc and you will see in folder Garmin garmindevice.xml
8.) run webupdater and download all
