Here are the dumpers: [Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...] [Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...]

I can assist you with creating gfwdump.bin if you find gfwdump.exe too complicated to use.
You probably need to dump regions 0x0E, 0x11, 0x13 (and maybe also 0x0F, 0x22) in order to use that 360€ firmware mode on other device. Can you post those dumps here?
And also it would be great to see the dumps of bootloaders (region 0x05) for both USA and EU models. I want to check if those bootloaders are capable of flashing GCD files...

I will follow all your instructions as soon. I hope within tomorrow you will have all.

So do you want me to prepare gfwdump.bin file?

Here is a [Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...] generated with the following command line, which is quite self-explanatory I think:
Please use this gfwdump.bin with both USA and EU devices and post the results here. This gfwdump.bin is quite big but after compression it would be much smaller.

here is a [Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...] from USA model 2006-2008.
I will probably have the EURO model in my hands on next saturday.
I need to know if your [Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...] based on v.2.60 can be used with the [Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...] firmware, because I don't know what firmware I will find in the EU model next saturday.

Thank you, the dump is nice. Do you think map data is also valuable? We could also completely dump regions 0x03 and 0x15 containing some maps.
v2.30 has the same HWID as v2.60, so I guess they are compatible.

Maps can be bought with NuMaps Lifeupdate for about € 85 or they can be found everywere for download. The only value I see in this moment is the language. May be the Logo could be nice to personalize, but just for fun.
When I will have an original EU model I will see if it will change some other parameters, like Miles in Kilometers, Celsius in Cendigrades and so on. In that case it could be usefull to continue this study.
Once we have all the needed BINs how can it be creaded the new falshing file gupdate.gcd?

I think maps could be of some value, because you can't normally download them. So distributors could put something valuable there. Also I've heard about some cases when a special basemap unlocked some regional features. That's why I'm asking.
Making a GCD file from a dump is easy, I will help you with that.
You could probably do that with help of RGN_Tool, but unfortunately it doesn't allow changing the region numbers when contructing a GCD file.
I've updated gfwdump.bin. Now it should dump completely all the available regions. The reserved 256MB should be enough for Honda Goldwing 2006-2008. [Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...]

Kunix:
do you think is possible to dump also model 2009-10?
Maybe can be interesting to have also this software.
I found that is like a Garmin GVN53.
Wich procedure should I use?
If you give me detailed instructions i can try.

Yes, it should be possible. I just have to take boot.bin from that device model and add the dumping code to it.
