Reply With QuoteThank you very much for your advice. Good thing you told me to empty the non-volatile memory. Thousands of thanks again! Without your help, I would never have been able to bring it back to life, and I honestly said goodbye to this device.

You're welcome. Make sure that you clear the non-volatile memory now: [Only registered and activated users can see links. ]. Best clear it a few times over the next several hours of use too. The reason to do so is that there can be data written to nonvol which is "device-specific" and it may be that a few bits of data remain from its time as a dezl. If that inconsistent data is accessed as a DS50 there may be problems, ranging from mild misbehavior to freezing or spontaneous rebooting and there's even the possibility of it turning off one day and be truly dead. The last one is unlikely but not without precedent in a device that's been incompatibly cross-flashed and brought back, this is a likely victim from that other forum too: [Only registered and activated users can see links. ].

Has anyone made a hybrid firmware to transform the Drivesmart 50 to the Dezl580?
I have 3 pieces Drivesmart 50
First device i flash with boot on DS50 and other files with RGN on Dezl 580
Updater - no successful , and Garmin device show Software Missing loading
Then I flashed it directly with the files from the original Dezl 580 firmware make to RGN
Device flash successful , and show drivesmart when loading ,but there is already a truck option in the menu and the touch screen is active
Other 2 device in same with same HWID 2267
but when I try to flash them directly with the original firmware DEZl 580 make RGN , after charging the device the screen remains inactive and stuck on main menu.
I fix device with SD card boot with original files on DS50 . And after loading the original software, the screen becomes active.
What could be the reason for the first device to get up and the other two screens to remain inactive ?
