Some units won't boot empty and require there be files onboard but in my experience 2595 is definitely not one of them, it can be totally empty and on boot will create in root the .System folder [with some subfolders] and Garmin folder with updated GarminDevice.xml in it. It might be that one of the files you've copied back from the GE backup is corrupt. Remove everything and try to boot it empty. If still not booting fully, try by [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] and a Garmin folder in the root. Otherwise do the format again only with RMPrepUSB. If none of that works there may be a problem with the flash memory of this unit. Do you have a backup of region 41?
The 'backup' created by GE is not complete anyway, I always back up manually. But that's certainly not your problem in this case anyway.
