Hi Neil,
Well ,you've done it again !!!!!!!!
Booting the unit completely naked sorted it , now in the process of updating everything ........
Many Thanks
PS moving to the "voice" section of the forums now, hope to see you there !
pps Voice Control queries !
Mod Note: Actually, dasilvarsa gave you the solution in Post #10. It was meant for the crashing 1690 not your stuck 1695.
Well I guess you forgot to read post#10

Touché Mate! But I reckon he read it dasil, and just thought you were referring to his 1695 being as it followed my post #8 suggesting he try flashing the logo bin to his 5" unit and his #9 about flashing logo too. That's confirmed by his following post #11 where he was still referring to the 1695 with the stuck and corrupt logo image. I hadn't even seen post 10 until now sorry.
It was absolutely spot-on advice you gave for the miscreant 1690 though. ;)
The reason I made Post #14 commenting about things getting confused and suggesting using quotes when following a post about the other unit was to try to separate the problems. I had already referred him over to the Logo bin thread in Post #8 attempting to separate the different problems with the 2 units for that very reason. We solved that one over there.
If he'd realised your post #10 was for the 1690 or if i had worded my later post better he'd have fixed it earlier. Thanks Dasil, full credit to you on the 1690 solution. I've put a note in mallard2's last post as acknowledgement.
Does anyone have a 1690.rgn?
I`m unable to boot (stuck at garmin logo)
Can`t hard reset
But prealoader is ok, just need to flash in Updater.
Thank you !

If you have to access pre-boot by holding the screen then probably you need to load cure firmware because it's soft-bricked by a faulty file (corrupt map, poi or voice most likely). See here: [Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...]. Full instructions are given and the process to use Cure3 or QuickCure is quite automated and simple, allowing you to access Mass Storage Mode and remove a fauly file or re-format in FAT32 correctly with RMPrepUSB as mentioned in the cure thread.
However if it is bricked because it can't load the firmware due to a region being empty or corrupt then the device will have defaulted to a permanent pre-boot state and display 'System Software Missing' message on the logo screen. In such a case reloading the correct untouched firmware (system software) as an RGN via Updater.exe will fix it almost certainly. You can very simply convert a GCD file to an RGN file using RGN_Tool available to download in this ZIP file: [Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...]. Observe safe naming practice for an RGN file of XXXX10000xxx.RGN where "XXXX" is the firmware's HWID and "xxx" is the 3 digit firmware Version, e.g. for EU firmware device version 3.90 it's "113201000390.rgn".
WARNING: Be aware that there are several different regionalized 1690 devices with different HWIDs. By your location shown yours is probably EU HWID 1132 however it would pay to check your device's HWID: [Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...].
