Thread: HELP - Garmin Nuvi 1310 Frozen and I cannot see it on my PC/ MAC

good day. mine was a 1300 and is stuck on software loading. it jusst stops there. i also try to use the garmin cure but to no avail, if i click on updater, it suddenly disappear so i will open again the updater.exe and still the same

ok, going to now dig out my old tablet PC and see if I can get it to work with the tool.

Bear with me

ok, so managed to get the GarminCure3 file running on my old PC.

If I try and run the updater I get the error message saying

No update files could be found

Please re-run updater from the command line and specify the directory containing the update file as a command line parameter.

All of which is gooble de gook to me.

So how do I proceed from here???

Thanks
Tony

Look at picture that caty post

In first line where is writen GUPDATE.GCD click on button with dot and show on file of nuvi 13xx that you download from link that i post.

Than click on make firmware

When you do this than click on button updater.exe and folow tutorila how to flash in preboot

ok, i seem to be getting somewhere now

I've now managed to get the file onto the GarminCure tool and it has now processed the firmware.

It is showing a file in the "Output file" box ( a .rgn file)

What do I do now?

Ok, don't worry I think I've managed it>

I pressed Updater and pre booted the Nuvi. The PC has recognised and it is now currently loading new Software... Yay!!

Hi Lolypop, Catymag,

The software update has now finished (successfully) and the PC now sees my Garmin connected via USB.

The Garmin is still connected and the screen simply shows the Garmin name.

So do I now disconnect and switch on as normal? And should the device now be back to it former self??

Cheers

Aghh! What am I doing wrong??

Since following the instructions above for the GarminCure3 tool, I managed to update mu Nuvi 1310 with the latest software from Lolypop's link. It loaded successfully using the updater tool and then the screen on the Nuvi displayed Garmin.

Since then I disconnected, turned the unit off then back on. The device starts up but only shows the initial screen ( the one with the cat picture) Nothing else!!! It just stays there.

I did then connect to Garmin web updater which stated I need a newer version. Succesfully did that then it told me to disconnect and restart device.

Nothing ! Same as above it just stays on the cat screen

Have I updated with the wrong firmware or something?

Please help??
