Running programs from SD on nuvi

Install garmin usb drivers from garmin site and use cure tool3 and you can repair your 1300, but your nuvi must turn on to see logo

if_error,<command>,<error_action> is a useful command, which sets an error action <error_action> for instances of <command> following if_error instance.

<error_action> could be the following:

continue - ignore any possible error and continue running the script
ignore - the same as continue
abort - abort running the script after the command which caused an error
halt - seems to be the same as abort

I think if_error is very useful sometimes, for example, when one makes a region backup before erasing the region. Saving the backup could fail, but erasing the region won't

For example, let's consider the following update.txt script:

When it's run the following update.log is produced:

Region number 1 doesn't exist, so all instances of rrgn,1, should have caused an error. But because of if_error,rrgn,ignore the first two completed successfully. And then because of if_error,rrgn,halt the third one aborted the script.
Note that if a script is aborted, last_id.bin is not saved, even if write_last_id,1 is present. Therefore, the script would run many times if used on the same device.

@kunix
I can't get 'if_error' to work in 1xxx series.

Code:

I get an error, with either 'abort' or 'holt' in a 1350 and 1200 respectively:

No problem with a 2445 with same command. Seems like it doesn't work with 1xxx? I guess in that case 2x5[W], 465, 765 etc may also fail.

Yeah, 13xx/14xx's boot.bin missess the "if_error" string.
Also why do you write "holt" instead of "halt" sometimes?

Sorry kunix, just a silly typo. I typed the first coded command manually into that post, but the actual update.txt was correct with 'halt'. The 1200 & 1350 update.log files texts were copy/paste.

Thanks for the explanation. Same with all 2, 3 & 6 series that i've checked, and seemingly even the AU fw 1690 boot.bin doesn't support the command "if_error", or at least I couldn't get it to work in my AU 1690. Perhaps the boot.bin for other localisations such as EU are different to the AU because Kanopus found the command in the ldr.bin from Garmin Germany's '1690_demoremove' pack, but with AU ldr.bin in Updater i get this again in update.log:

HaHA! No, i wouldn't want to live there [Holt's too bl**dy COLD in winter, about the same as your summers you poor sods!]. I'm just a crap typist, blind as a bat and more than a little dyslexic .....
Got anything constructive to say about 'if_error' string missing from early nuvi fw G?

PS: kunix, I get the same error of invalid command 'if error' with full EU fw flashed to it.

How did Kanopus find the string in ldr.bin? Small words please, remember that my software examination knowledge can be written on the back of a postage stamp in large letters.

How you run/use updater.exe if your usb data transver not works ?
you need some .bin file i think there is not good help for that. I do not even know what is 2.bin and where i can download it.
do i need make it with rgn tool and get boot.bin and rename 2.bin or what. or i need classes.

that you don't have folder voice on your device so then this command will not work, becouse you don't have folder voice.

Try with this command: copy,1:/Garmin/voice/,0:/Garmin/voice/

or

copy,1:/Garmin/voice,0:/Garmin/voice

This will copy folder voice to device.

You must have in folder 0660 update.txt and ldr.bin

p.s.
Nuvi 200 have two HWID: Regular = 0660 and MTK = 0834
