GarminCure3 tool - the new way to create cure firmwares for Garmin devices

It looks like there is something else broken in your nuvi except the filesystem of the internal flash drive.
That white screen may indicate something bad.
The fact that your device gives an error while trying to run boot.bin ("System Software Missing", first stage) is definitely a bad sign.
My cure isn't designed to deal with anything except currupt internal filesystem.

But we can still try to do something.
Try flashing two RGNs from this archive [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] and tell me what happens.
Only one of them is suitable for your device as there are two different devices called nuvi 13xx.
Then tell me the name of RGN that was suitable. So I will know your nuvi's HWID.

P.S.
I've just discovered that nuvi 13xx is able to flash RGNs with no boot.bin inside. That means that the bootloader is able to flash regions. For two years I was sure it's impossible. Life is a wonderful thing.

Hi Kunix,
Thank you for your fast response.
I used the 097201000580.rgn file from archive, drag it into updater and update completed successfully in about 1 minute. The Nuvi 1390 remained in the white blank screen and no Garmin drive appeared into MyComputer.
After power cycle, the same blank screen followed by the turning on/off Garmin logo appear.

As I understand this, it follows like this:
1) white screen
2) Garmin logo
3) black screen
4) Garmin logo
..................

Also try flashing this and describe what happens:
[Only registered and activated users can see links. ]

HI Kunix,

That was exaxtlly how Nuvi 1390 was working after trying GarminCure3.
I used the file you provided and now it starts and stays with white blank screen, either in normal start or in Boot mode start.
In boot start mode device is seen in Win Device Manager and by updater but no drive appears in MyComputer.
Thank you for the help,
Florin
