Thanks to ALL involved............Good Job!
Thanks Guys! Well, I was running blind here but ok. Glad to hear that the logo worked.
I didn't think much over it to be honest. I thought that the problem is coming from the programmer with which the dump was taken. Probably the programmer added some bytes and this is the reason why the picture is garbled. So for the creation of the Test logo I used the header plus 480x272x16 image plus the footer. Didn't change anything else.Quote:
So is the only difference that c0 byte (where I had d0)? what is it for and how did you figure it out?
I thought I calculated the checksum. I think Turbo's GIR Editor calculates the right checksum if the image is passed through it.Quote:
It shows fail on the system info for the logo....but is seems to work fine
Update: If you have selected second image for the screen most probably you will have fail in the sys menu.
Cheers,
@snehne,
yes, your D0 byte was wrong. It must be C0. This byte and the next is the width times 2 . So, if the width is 480, width * 2 = 960 which gives C0 03. I did not bother telling you since you told me the first logo was working well. I assumed the gps was not using it.
@ Turboccc,
Wanted to ask you something. Can you write how did you find possible Part Numbers (SKU's) of the logos in the fimwares? I read you know which strings describe them? Probably, the guys can unlock more futures from the upper models nuvi 670 and 680 like in 1xxx and 2xx series by changing a few numbers in the logo?

Cheers and Happy Easter,
@ddabcd277,
You know more about me that I know myself... LOL! Seriously, I do not have this knowledge. There are reasons why the 1xxx models could be updated using the logo string, but I doubt this applies to the 6x0 models. If you want to try, you can make the string 5 or 6 characters and try. For example, the SKU is in the form of D0681-00 and only 681 is written. The 0 zeros seems to be removed or optional. Nothing prevents you from trying 68110 (D0681-10), 68160 (D0681-60), etc...

@ Turbo
I understand. :) I read your comments in the GIR Edtor thread regading the logo of 37xx and I thought...no matter...I don't have nuvi 600 so I leave this hint to the guys to try. May be an Eastern Bunny will jump out of this ;)
Cheers,
Excuse me for writing one more time on this topic but now I figure something out that I think is important. Let me explain. The checksum of the logo I posted above was alright but the size of the logo not. This is the reason why even when the calculated end byte is correct on the system info it is still written fail. The size of the above logo is 262*146 bytes which can not be divided by 1024 exactly. Every garmin logo is closed by 1024 bytes. So the right size should be 262 144 bytes. Here it is I think the final version. There shouldn't be fail on the start up screen:Quote:

Hi ddabcd277,
Which logo is this? The 6x0 or another 4:3 gps? That is a pretty small logo.
Basically, you would like GIR_Editor to round the garmin logo size to a 1024-byte boundary. Correct? For some reason I would have thought GIR_Editor was doing that already, but it may be RGN_Tool. Let me know if I understand this correctly and I'll fix it.
@ Turbo
Yes, this is the logo of nuvi 6x0 series I posted above decreased by 2 bytes to be correct in size. (don't know is it compatible with other models) As I wrote I posted this corrected version because I figure out why the posted above logo showed fail in the system info on TCIII despite the fact that the end byte was correct. Don't know can GIR Editor or RGN Tolls understand and corrected if there is inaccuracy in the 1024-byte boundary but I have experimented with the logo of my C550, again ripped from a PouchX dump, made in the same way like the 600 series logo, and despite that it passed GIR Editor and RGN tool before I flashed it, it still showed fail in system info. So I need manualy decrese the size of the logo to pass the system info. Yeah, and after that I remeber the comment of TCIII and...etc. I think I used the latest versions of RGN Tool and GIR Editor. Sorry, I can't check that at the moment. Maybe GIR Editor or RGN Tool creates the correct 1024 bytes boundry if the logo is less in size but can't figure it out if it exceeds.
