Please write HWIDs. Nuvi 250 - 3 different devices.
Nuvi 250 HWID 834
Yesterday, my 1490 froze while navigating. Tried to reboot by pressing on/off button for a couple of seconds, unit partially booted and froze at the garmin logo screen. Back home, I tried to connect it to my computer, nuvi did not show up as a removable drive anymore.
Flashed cure firmware with GarminCure3 tool, unit went into mass storage mode ok. Found a number of corrupted files. Deleted corrupted files, made backup of all other files, reformatted nuvi with FAT32 and restored content.
Flashed original firmware with GarminCure3 tool - all problems gone.
Thanks very much, kunix!
I have the same problem as fdiaconu above with 1490......waiting also...
The Cure is only designed to make you see the internal flash drive. The Cure is not bootable.
Once you have used the cure to access the internal flash drive you need to remove the corrupt file or files or format your internal drive as needed. Always delete or rename GUPDATE.GDC from the device (This is not optional).
(What did you do just before the nuvi bricked, did you load a Map ?, Did you load a voice ?).
Next step is to use the cure program to make Original Firmware (Look at picture in first post on this page).
Next flash the original firmware. To get your nuvi into pre-boot mode you dont need clips or rubbers or anything like that.
Switch the nuvi OFF, Hold Your finger on the screen top left , Plug in the usb cable. (Power switch not needed)
You can also try to flash your logo.bin

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.
