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

Yes this is what I am worry of. Maybe regions are mistaken or something else? And the time is wrong also.

**kunix** · 5th November 2013, 07:41 PM

I haven't seen stuff like this. Maybe someone else can help.
As far as I remember you've already erased the internal flash drive. Now we've erased nonvol memory. In most cases this is enough to reset the device state completely.

**bobokom** · 5th November 2013, 07:54 PM

Ok. Is it possible the antenna unit is broken or region file must be replaced with one from Europa device?
And now how to revert device to its previous state?

**kunix** · 5th November 2013, 08:15 PM

There are no such thing as "region file". Yes, most probably it's a hardware problem. But wait for someone else like ddabcd277, lolypop000, or Neil to come and help or ask them in private.
In order to restore nonvol memory, proceed as before with the following archive: [Only registered and activated users can see links. ]
You can't restore the internal flash drive unless you've made a backup before formatting it. But you don't need doing it anyway.

Ok. Thank you very much for the efforts to help me. I will wait for someone else to help if they have the same issue with another device like mine.
Thank you very much again and be happy!

Do you go outside when you whait for satellite or you add device on balcony?
You will have correct time when nuvi find satellite.

Does anyone know why a device bought in South Africa will always offer South Africa first at the choose country screen after hard reset ?
A device bought in UK will always offer UK first after hard reset at the choose country screen .

They are 'localised' for the market in which they are sold. Ostensibly the default locale setting is for the user to easily and quickly select their correct locale. However, I suspect it is also linked to the localisation which prevents you adding an LM subscription other than the one same as the OEM map and obtaining ancillary files for a one-off purchase of an area or country not the same as the original map. This is not a firmware function as US/EU/AUNZ/SAf/SAm etc all use the same fw, so it must be linked to the unit's Registration and Unlock codes shown in GarminDevice.xml as written into rgn41 of NV memory. Kunix and Loly would know more i think

.

Regarding the sat lock problem of bobokom, a total gps hardware failure will endlessly show the first pic below. If the unit's identifying some sats but doesn't have a fix as in the other pics then i agree with the other comments and the unit should fully lock-on if given a clear view of the sky for up to 30 minutes, stationary if possible. Otherwise it may possibly be a partial hardware failure ...

I was on balcony, but I wait for about an hour and device see 4 satellites, but can`t connect to them.

**dasilvarsa** · 5th November 2013, 09:34 PM

It needs more than 4 to go ready to navigate. +- 7 with data the first time.
Do the lines turn blue ?
When the lines turn from hollow to blue it means that it has captured data from satellite.
Try to go to simulation mode and set location to your house. Then put nuvi in power saver mode and then wake it up again.
I do this trick when I travel to UK and it seems to help a bit.
You must set display timeout to never !
