I'm sorry but i really don't understand your post. The XML file we're referring to is the GarminDevice.xml which belongs in the Garmin folder. The unit will recreate it or update it on every reboot.

I guess you have added that Locales.xml there from an earlier backup.

So GarminExpress now sees the unit are you saying? Please check that you have GarminDevice.xml in the Garmin folder, open it in a web browser and advise the software [firmware[ version shown there:
