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

Done that and I'm afraid I still have the same problem .....Aghhhhhhhh!!

any other ideas?

If still wont work,than you forget to flash with original FW in preboot.

Yay..its fixed.

Thanks a million to Lolypop for your patience and help in getting this problem sorted.

You are a star my friend and I owe you big time.

Thanks
Tony

Hi Lolypop.
I've been struggling with this problem too. Although I backed up the device before I formatted it, I neglected (through ignorance) to back up the .System folder. Would you be able to PM me the link to your backup rar? I've spent hours and hours trying to recreate it through mucking about with the garmindevices.xml version numbers etc, but as with this original poster, the device is missing a critical file and hangs at the logo.
thanks in advance.

You have backup on PM

Hi Lolypop,

well despite all the signs looking good, the Nuvi still won't boot. Stays fixed on Garmin logo. Connects fine to the PC and is recognised, but away from the PC it just won't boot. Have tried the updater/garmincure to no avail.

Looks like it is time for a new unit.

Thank you very much for the backup anyway.

best regards
Leigh

Can you ever see the garmin as a flash drive on your computer ?

Yes, all that is fine. So whilst I can copy the files over, the unit refuses to go past the start up logo (when not connected to PC). No loading maps nothing. When it is connected to PC it stays on the logo but I can see the internal drive and all the files. I'm missing the gmapproc.img file, so I think that might be the underlying cause. But what do I know, I'm a network guy! I tried removing the XML entry referring to the gmapproc file, also I tried substituting the gmapsupp.img that was located in the Map folder for the gmapproc.img file in the .system folder. But nothing, hangs on the logo. The unit had already been difficult to boot into before I tried the format route (in a reboot loop at loading maps stage). I was hoping it may have been a damaged file, so that was why I copied all the files (bar the bl**dy .system folder) and formatted.

From what I can see in the GarminDevice.XML file I am missing the gmapproc.img file only now.

Running out of patience, and time. It needs to be up and running by the weekend really. I'm about to call it, and throw it.
