Thread: Nüvi 1690 Bricked? Can't get past Garmin logo

OK, Partial success!

I managed to update the recovery image. The trick was to keep on pressing the touchscreen and just reclick the OK button until it started to update!

So I got access to the flash drive and I formatted it with the RMPrepUSB as in the guide.

Now after format I tried to flash the original firmware... Restarted device in preboot mode. same thing. Kept retrying OK but this time it started to update but it opened the flash drive in windows and then gave error that it can't find device

I have now been trying quite many times... Any suggestions?


EDIT:
OK. Got it! Just had to keep on retrying fast by clicking enter, so it would start the update before preboot mode is exitted. Updating original firmware now
