Thread: Nuvi 2460 boot loop

It's not always necessary to format. I find that many users jump right in and format the unit causing other problems.
If the user knows what happened just before the "bricking" it's possible to do "selective deleting" until the faulty file is found.

Happens all the time. Many don't read this in kunix's thread:

The typical curing algorithm (in general) looks like this:

1. Flash your device with the CURE firmware (see below for more details). Please note that the CURE firmware will never boot, it can only enter the mass storage mode.
2. Don’t disconnect your device from the PC. It should enter the mass storage mode and the PC should detect it as a new flash drive.

• If the filesystem on the flash drive is OK then you should try removing/renaming some files that could cause problems. Start from those files that were created/copied last. Don’t forget about making backups.
• If removing files doesn’t help, or you’ve accidentally formatted the flash drive into NTFS, or its filesystem is corrupted then you should reformat the flash drive into FAT or FAT32. Remember that when your device is cured you can restore most of the missing files by running WebUpdater.

Hi
Yes I did the repair and then the original, when I could see the files I just deleted everything and copied my original back on and it works fine now. The pre boot threw me a bit, it was just a blank screen, took me a couple of goes to realize I had about 30 seconds to plug into usb port.
I have tried the new .41 version of the maps and found the voice command will not search for towns or locations, it will only work on favourites?,does any one know why.
Thanks Again
