Thread: Bricked nuvi 1390

1) Bricked device MODEL, Firmware version, HWID 1390LMT firmware 6,30 US hwid 972

2) Why and how the device got bricked. Bricked while updating to last software

3) Symptoms: what's wrong in your device? Stuck in bootloop software loading, Tried bootcamp software install and says update file is corrupted

4) Does your pc sees your device ? No, just in devices as Garmin usb device but no letter and Garmin express does not see it

5) List all the procedures you already tried to unbrick it and their results and errors messages obtained. Quickcure done sucess but nothing changed. Cure 3 goes to 100 percent in 2 secs, says deleting files and then fails

6) Do you have Garmin USB Drivers installed ? Garmin: USB Drivers Updates & Downloads yes

7) If you don't know HWID get it by Use program G7ToWin to retrieve your HWID

8) Write down if you already read and tried everything in these two threads: GarminCure3 tool - the new way to create cure firmwares for Garmin devices and How to unbrick a nüvi - step by step guide

9) Can you reach preboot mode? If no ,have you followed this? Garmin devices preboot mode, I think its is stuck in preboot mode, it does ding dong in windows but vanishes after some time

10) Probably no , but do you have NV backup? no

11) Once you get a reply and a procedure to follow from our experts, please give an accurate reply about what you did and obtained results.

I am not sure do I have the right software because they all vanished frm Garmin, I downloaded whole Perry archive and found one 13xx

Did you do the above? Because if you've used 0972 firmware to make Cure3 and flashed it, but your device is the other HWID 1104 it can make things worse. IMPORTANT: If you haven't already confirmed your device's HWID, please use G7ToWin in preboot mode and report back: [Only registered and activated users can see links. ].

When the device shows in Windows Device Manager (but not in Disk Management or File Explorer) it's in preboot mode. Disk Management, File Explorer, and GarminExpress all only see devices in Mass Storage Mode. I think 1xxx devices hold preboot for about 30 seconds waiting for a flash to be initiated.

As said, make sure you have the correct firmware. Garmin has removed all superseded versions of firmware from their servers for some time now, only the latest version of each is available for download:
