1. Turn the device off
2. Touch left top side of the screen and keep touching it.
3. Push the power button and the garmin logo will show.
4. insert the USB cable
5. Drag your original RGN file to updater.exe

now you should be able to select USB in updater.exe and be able to start flashing.
you can now release the left top side of the screen.. this worked for me

I think you must not use the US 3.00 but must use the original one. Have you sved the orginal GUPDATE.GDC that was on the device? if so you can open that in RGN tool and save it to a RGN file and use that to flash.

That is what helped me to unbrick it.
But still no luck for me getting to Thai version

Have you deleted text and voice folder?
Some original texts and voices are not suited with Thai version.

I have only the new Thai text and voice were there
I tryed it again

Deleted the TEXT and VOICE folder and GPX folder and then put GUPDATE.GDC in syste. original boot 5.00 and rest thai
but not going past garmin logo

Wow finally some progress.

I found out that in RGN tool my original 5.00 GDC had first the boot then the fw_all and then the fw1_resources. In the thai version it had a different order. I changed the order and now it flashed correctly. The device started and now has 3.00 software version on it.

I'm about to load the JCV file to test.

Hi,

Ok everyting is working now. Lane assist and JCV
Should I put the original GUPDATE.GPD on the device again? or is this not needed?

Good you got it going but this is the wrong section for this, caty please move, could be helpfull to other when they search later, thanks

Done
