Yes, but in forementioned thread was a note about new devices which uses 2 instead 1 as a SD card path, so I decided to test both ways.

Yes, it was a typo.

Did you see anything on the screen before the bootloop started? "Loader" or similar words, or a white screen, even very briefly?
Firstly I hear one click, then two clicks with a higher pitch, then Garmin logo appears on a screen, then these three messages:

[Only registered and activated users can see links. ]

[Only registered and activated users can see links. ]

[Only registered and activated users can see links. ]

After that device start new circle of reboot. Here you can see and download the video of process: [Only registered and activated users can see links. ]

It seems device doesn't load updater at all and trying to boot ordinary but something on SD prevent it. Without SD it boots perfect. Very strange behaviour. :-(

Someone in the forementioned thread use this region for dumping so I decided to take a chance.

Here: <PartNumber>006-B1305-00</PartNumber><SoftwareVersion>116</SoftwareVersion>
