Thread: Bricked my Dakota 10! (solved with kunix's cure)

Start Updater.exe
Power off the unit.
Disconnect USB Cable.
Hold Power button down - Quickly Plug in USB Cable - Continue to hold power button down - Select USB on Updater.exe
Start the Flashing when you see Loader on the unit Release the Power Button.
This has worked for some and not for others.

Yup - I've tried this as well many times but Updater doesn't find the device.

You can try removing batteries before performing preboot actions.
Also there are a few useful links:

Looks like many tourist devices (at least oregon and etrex 20) have a forced mass storage mode..


Maybe it's better to disconnect the cable before powering off.

I've tried it with and without the batteries and I've tried running the Updater before and after disconnecting. I'm away from my computer now but will try some more combinations tonight.
