Hi, I'm having troubles with a bricked Nüvi 1490T and I want to use this guide to unbrick. However I'm missing the firmware file for this model as you cannot download this from the Garmin website. Has anyone a link to this file?
Thx

Garmin doesn't make it easy to directly download firmware files, they prefer that ppl use GarminExpress to update. However if you go to the main history page and right-click anywhere you'll see a context menu with "View page source" or similar (wording is browser dependent). Click that and another page opens giving instructions for downloading the GCD file. Be aware that 13_14xx devices have 2 different HWIDs and if you flash the wrong one you might permanently hard-brick your 1490. Read this thread where you'll also find the direct links to download the latest V6.30 firmware: [Only registered and activated users can see links. ]. To check your HWID use G7ToWin in preboot mode or just look at your GarminDevice.xml file if you have a backup. More info here: [Only registered and activated users can see links. ].
