Thread: nuvi 2599 bricked?

So far so good. We can go further to try recovering this device using text commands now to remove any faulty map *.img file. However, first let me know the size of the 154.bin please.

It's no surprise that the 'reboot' cmd didn't result in a Success message because the device isn't capable of booting far enough in it's soft-bricked state. I'm guessing that because it also didn't show 'error' that you needed to force the device off manually to remove the media card.

PS: When a flash is done from a card like that, there's also a file "last_id.bin" created in the HWID folder. If that's present the device stops reading the card which is why you couldn't repeat the procedure. To go further with what we're attempting to do it has to be removed but please don't try any more flashes until after you've reported the size of 154.bin.

Hello Butters, yes progress is happening thanks to you. The 154.bin is 2048kb in size, and you are correct, there is now a last_id.bin entry in the 1758 folder showing 1kb in size. I'll not do anything until you give me further instruction. Superb Butters ! Thanks
