I have a Garmin Dezl 770LM with the Garmin logo stuck on the screen, it enters recovery mode but with the recovery file that I have from a while ago it does not recover, I cannot give the part number. If someone can send me the recovery file I would be very grateful.</div>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div>Hi - recently we purchased a Garmin eTrex 10 here in the UK. When we received the device we discovered it was unable to display UK OS-Grid references. Following further investigation, we discovered the device had been supplied with Chinese Firmware.<br />
<br />
We connected the device using Windows Garmin Express. The device connects fine with USB. On checking for Firmware updates no updates were indicated.<br />
<br />
Looking at the device setup, it reports Firmware 2.20 and a Unit ID. 386xxxxxxx . Looking online, further updates of Firmware upto 3.6* appear available.<br />
<br />
Our question is, is it possible to download and Flash an updated more recent version of Firmware or is the device restricted to the Chinese 2.20 Firmware.<br />
<br />
Many thanks in anticipation of your advice and guidance.</div>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div>Hi everyone,<br />
<br />
I have a Garmin Drive 52 (Taiwan Traditional Chinese version / TWN) that is stuck in a boot loop. I would really appreciate some advice or guidance from the experienced members here on how to recover it.<br />
<br />
<b>Device Information:</b> Garmin Drive 52 (Manufactured in 2019, Made in Taiwan, Traditional Chinese firmware)   <br />
<br />
<b>Initial Symptom:</b> The device was completely stuck on the Garmin startup logo and would not boot into the navigation menu. Holding the bottom-right corner of the touchscreen during power-on failed to bring up the Master Reset (Clear all user data) prompt.<br />
<br />
<br />
1.Steps Taken So Far<br />
   a. Pre-boot Mode &amp; PC Communication:<br />
       i. Installed the official USBDrivers_2312.exe on Windows.<br />
       ii. Successfully triggered Pre-boot mode by pressing and holding the upper-left corner of the screen while     <br />
           connecting the USB cable.<br />
       iii. Updater.exe can recognize the device under &quot;USB Device&quot; Mode.<br />
<br />
   b. Flashing QuickCure3:<br />
       i. Attempted to process firmware with GarminCure3, but due to the encrypted firmware format of newer <br />
          Drive models, it was not recognized.<br />
       ii. I then dragged QuickCure3.rgn into Updater.exe and flashed it to the device. The update finished with the   <br />
          message: &quot;The update was successful.&quot;<br />
<br />
   c. Current Device State:<br />
       i. After reconnecting to the PC, the screen now constantly displays &quot;LOADER LOADING...&quot; over the Garmin  <br />
          logo (as shown in the attached picture).<br />
          <br />
<br />
       ii.  The device does not mount as a standard Mass Storage drive (lettered disk) in Windows File Explorer.<br />
       iii. However, Garmin Express detects the connected unit, and the official system previously triggered a  <br />
            standalone map update package (GarminMapUpdater.exe).<br />
<br />
2. Questions &amp; Help Needed<br />
Because the Drive 52 uses encrypted firmware and older Cure tools cannot unpack it, the unit is currently held in loader mode awaiting valid firmware:<br />
<br />
a. Does anyone have the original GCD or an RGN flashable firmware for Garmin Drive 52 TWN?<br />
<br />
b. With the screen currently showing &quot;LOADER LOADING...&quot;, what is the recommended procedure or tool (e.g., <br />
    Garmin RGN Tool, patched ldr.bin, or SD card recovery method) to force Mass Storage access or restore the <br />
     clean system?<br />
<br />
c. If I have the official GarminMapUpdater.exe provided by Garmin, but it fails to run because the legacy server <br />
    has been shut down. Is there any way to directly extract the official .gcd firmware from this executable?&quot;<br />
<br />
I have attached photos of the unit's rear label, the successful Updater.exe flash window, and the current &quot;LOADER LOADING...&quot; screen for reference.<br />
