    Default Garmin Etrex 32x is not connecting to its database

    Hi! Garmin Etrex 32x (4333 revisions). After installing any update, the first startup is in Russian, it sees the maps, everything is fine. After turning it off, all subsequent startups are in the built‑in system English language, which cannot be changed to any other language in the settings, even though all the language files are present in the navigator. It also doesn’t see the maps. Probably, some kind of connection error with the database is occurring. Maybe someone knows about this and has encountered a similar issue — please tell me how to fix it. Thank you!
    P.S. If anyone has the same navigator, please upload a backup of the internal memory of your device in a zip or other archive. I’m afraid, some files and folders may be missing in me device. I couldn’t find a backup anywhere. Thanks!
    I’m not fluent in English and I’m writing with a translator, so I apologize for any possible misunderstanding. Thanks!

    To get help you need to share all that you have done or you will waste others time.
    On the 24th you posted elsewhere:

    Hello. I purchased a used Etrex 32x navigator with ID 3445. It has the following problem: it doesn’t accept firmware version 3445, but it does accept 4333 and successfully flashes it. With this firmware installation, GarminDevice.xml looks like this: <PartNumber>006-B4333-00</PartNumber>
    <SoftwareVersion>290</SoftwareVersion>
    <Description>eTrex 32x</Description>
    I tried to cheat and in RGN_Tool, in firmware 4333, I replaced the HWID with 3445. This firmware was installed, and now GarminDevice.xml looks like this:
    <PartNumber>006-B3445-00</PartNumber>
    <SoftwareVersion>280</SoftwareVersion>
    <Description>eTrex 32x</Description>

    PartNumber and Id in the file match. But GPSDaemon identified Id 4333.
    However, as before, it doesn’t see the databases, maps, or installed languages. I installed all the firmware using Updater.exe. I installed a fake firmware version 280 because I planned to update to 290 via WebUpdater. But it didn’t see any updates.

    Please help fix the navigator. Just in case, I’m attaching the GarminDevice.xml file after the latest firmware update. Please take a look and see if there are any errors in it. And if possible, please upload a backup of the folders and files in the internal memory; I’m afraid some files might be missing. I couldn’t find a clean backup after a properly installed firmware anywhere online. I’m not fluent in English and I’m writing with a translator, so I apologize for any possible misunderstanding. Thanks!
