    I have successfully converted it to dezl now. Have no camera. I think I will keep it this way and not try to do a full conversion and risk damaging the unit. I guess there is no reason to do a full conversion?

    The only reason to do a full conversion [other than the convenience of updating firmware as detailed in the last para of my previous reply] is in case the original fw boot.bin was not capable of initiating and loading the dezl fw. This can be seen in the case of conversion of [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] where the smaller 3790 boot cannot handle the 3490's bigger [than 3790's] fw_all component and so the conversion is done using the complete 3490 fw. So that the inadequate boot bin can work, there is a method of compressing the donor firmware developed by our resident genius kunix using his [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] but if you want to understand the background reasons for packing in that case read the posts before and after that link. Although it's simply academic for conversion of nuvi 2797/8>dezl760 or RW760 because the nuvi's native boot bin works with the 760's fw_all bin uncompressed anyway, not all fw can be successfully compressing using the gfwpack.exe tool.

    In short, because the 'safest' option method of hybrid fw works without any compression of the donor fw to convert 2797/8 to 760 there is no reason at all to think that the full conversion would not work successfully exactly as it does for nuvi 2460 to dezl 560. If the unit was mine i would now happily do a full conversion. My 2460 has been converted back and forth to 560 many times using both methods [always with nonvol cleared] and is still kicking. But as always the risk if any is yours totally.

    If you should ever get access to a BC20 i'd be very interested to hear if it works with original 2797 and/or 760 convert.

    Hello,
    I`ve tried both methods for conversation from 2460 to dezl 560,but none of them was able to change the name during boot process and in the system info page.I still have dezl 2460 in it.I even tried to manually replace 2460 from the GarminDevice.xml,but nothing changed.Any suggestions?

    Altering the GarminDevice.xml does nothing because it's rewritten by the device itself on every boot cycle. You may be able to change the name in the firmware using a hex editor but worth neither the risk nor the trouble in my opinion.

    @miroslavbl
    Both nuvi 27x9 (HWID 1932) and dezl 770 (HWID 2002) have a shared PCB P/N of 105-02500-00 so it's theoretically possible. Later devices are more resistant to simple conversion however. Try to flash a hybrid firmware of 27x9 boot.bin and remainder of dezl fw components with HWID retained as 1932 to test. Your risk of course however usually retaining HWID means the flash is easily reversible if the device bricks.

    Thumbs up

    I have tried to convert nuvi 2789 (HWID 1932) to dezl 770 using hybrid firmware (boot.bin from 27x9, fw_all.bin and resources.bin from dezl 770), but without success. I have had some message on screen with "mismatch".
    After thath, I have used WebUpdater and "repair" nuvi 2789 to original state.

    On the second try I have used full dezl 770 firmware (out.rgn) and I now have fully funcionall device dezl 770.

    In next weeks I will test device. I will share my experinces with others.

    Thank you very much, Butters.

    Hello, you also have a function that shows driving time, rest?
    Because at 2797 converted to dezl 760 I do not have this.

    No, there is not this function. I tried to upgrade software and resolve this gap, but without success.
