Thread: Transform a Nuvi 37xx in a Nuvi 34xx for dummies

Thanks to all for all the suggestions. Nothing works! When I turn it on with the switch, put it in the car, or simply plug the cord into my USB port, I get exactly the same reaction.

When I had the very dim screen with no logo, I got to the pre-boot by pressing in the upper left corner. I then flashed the 37XX logo back and that is when everything quit working. So I am guessing what I am seeing is the 37XX logo on the screen. It does not matter where I press on the screen, it just sits there and does nothing.

I feel this is the end of the road for the nuvi. Is a hard way to learn a lesson and I do appreciate all the suggestions and advice. If nothing else I have learned that no matter how careful you are, you can still make errors in following others instructions. Maybe it is just me, but there are differences in how the process of flashing is described between presenters. The "nuvi" talk is sometimes difficult to understand and translate into action correctly.

At this point in time, I really don't think there is anything else that can be done to restore my nuvi to any kind of operation. I has become a very expensive paper weight, but I guess you can't win them all. Again my thanks to all for trying,

Eventually it will end up on eBay for a very reasonable price, lifetime updates, accessories, and all. No reasonable offer will be refused! If any of you are interested, make me an offer that I can't refuse.

George, I love to have your gps for a trifle, but gotta be honest and recommend: have patience! Yes u can have bricked your device, most likely solution exists, but it will only happen if u can get in pre-boot and here the minimum detail will make the difference. A secret is the exact moment when you have to press the screen, in this case, when appears immediately the Garmin Logo, neither before nor after. You have done it? Of course have the positions possible, try them all, but always obeying the exact time, as mentioned. I've been through this scare, I almost had a heart attack lol, but after a few attempts (+-400) I managed to get in pre-boot. Try as much as possible, do not give up!
