To use RMPrepUSB you must have Cure fw flashed because it needs MSM enabled on the device. Once the device can be seen in Windows File Explorer and has a drive letter allocated it can be formatted.

Preboot is a relic from the 'old Garmin days' when all the automotive and many other devices didn't have a visible file system. Their flash memory consisted of various regions none of which were visible via a computer. The modern device's visible file system is in fact one of those regions albeit much larger than other regions and formatted differently - it's FAT32 whereas other regions don't have a recognized format. All old-style devices updated by connecting to a computer exclusively in "Garmin Mode" which is essentially the same as what we now call "preboot mode".

Now, is there any way I can restore the statistics, because it is quite funny.
It is a proof that I have the fastest car in the world, and I have broken the sound barrier with it. .....
To quote Maxwell Smart, i think you "missed it by that much" .... Isn't Mach 1 around 1225 kph at 15 degrees Celsius? .... My uneducated guess is you're a Swedish Air Force jet jockey in fact, umm?
Well ,you'll always have that photo even if we can't recover the history. But first you need to un-brick it so back to work
