Pack that i add is only for nuvi 35xx.
If you work on different nuvi you must change ldr.bin with yours from your nuvi and change the name of the map with your HWID.

Hi Loly,
Sly27 is probably terminally confused unfortunately. I think he may have only changed the HWID folder to 1101 without replacing the original ldr.bin file as you thought. He was unsure at first whether to convert his 3760 to a 3490 or just enable features to 3790. As he's now decided to go with enable to 3790 it's better he posts here for help.
@Sly27
Better you stay in this thread now if you have any more trouble. The other thread is older and not as specific in what you are now trying to do. This is my last post from the 'Modding 3760T' thread in reply to your same post above (but without the typo):
@Sly27
Did you replace the Ldr.bin in Lolypop000's pack with your own Ldr.bin from your 3760? Obtained from your GUPDATE.gcd in your 3760? Did you read the link contained in Caty's post #337 of the Transform etc thread? This one:

OLD PROCEDURE: I want to confirm for those who have 3450. If you just got your 3450 and taken out from the box to find it has old firmware, this is all you need to do to enable features: (DO NOT update to the latest firmware before doing this) Delete BlueTooth.xml, change ASR enable to ASR.disabled. Now copy & Paste all xml to X:\Garmin\, unplug nuvi from PC then power on. When power on, you will not see VideoPlayBack icon, it's okay. Plug nuvi 3450 back to PC and do a WebUpdater. It will updated to the latest. Once done, unplug from PC and power on nuvi 3450. Let Nuvi 3450 finish updating. The process seems long and you might think it's stuck on Garmin logo but it's not. So don't touch anything until you see "Agree". Then you can click on it. Now you'll see all the enabled feature icons are on your nuvi 3450.
NEW AND EASY PROCEDURE: For this example, I will use nuvi 3450.
What you'll need:
A clean microSD Card, [Only registered and activated users can see links. ], [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] and [Only registered and activated users can see links. ]. Once you have those, follow the guide below:
1) Open RGN_Tool --> drag your firmware *.gcd file to RGN_Tool
2) See picture: Save boot.bin and write down your firmware's HWID #
3) Once you save boot.bin, Rename it to Ldr.bin
4) After you extract Garmin Updater files.rar to find "Garmin Updater files" folder, in it you will you will see "3xxx series enable features application" folder, "For backup region 140.rar" and "For write back reg 140.rar"
5) Extract "For backup region 140.rar". You will see x:/Garmin/Updater/xxxx/ ===> rename xxxx folder to your HWID# from Step #2. In my case it's 1376
6) Now copy and paste your Ldr.bin to inside the renamed 'xxxx' folder [example 1376]
7) Copy your changed folder "Garmin" to the root of a microSD Card so it shows on PC as X:/Garmin
8) Make sure your nuvi is power off, not in standby mode. Insert microSD Card to your nuvi and power on. It will backup the file to the card's root then it will power off or reboot itself
9) Remove the microSD, connect it to PC and you will see reg_140.bin next to the Garmin folder
10) Open Mod 3xxx.exe and browse to the card's reg_140.bin (see picture)
11) Check your required features then press Save to make a copy to somewhere convenient, say on your PC's desktopFor nuvi 3450, DO NOT check BlueTooth and ASR
12) Extract "For write back region 140.rar". You will see x:/Garmin/Updater/xxxx/ ===> rename xxxx folder to your HWID as Step #2. In this case it's 1376
13) Now copy and paste your Ldr.bin to inside renamed 'xxxx' folder using the same Ldr.bin from Step #6
14) Make sure you delete all files in the microSD card then copy the new saved folder "Garmin" to the root. Example: X:/Garmin
15) Copy your newly saved reg_140.bin file to card root so you have:
X:/Garmin
X:/reg_140.bin
16) Make sure your nuvi is fully powered off, not in standby mode. Insert microSD card to your nuvi and power on. It will write back the info in the bin file to it's region 140 then it will power off or reboot itself.
17) Now you have enabled extra features.
Special thanks to Catymag, lolypop000, roger1109, aekhong for all the hard work. Sorry if I miss anyone.

@ALL
I'm really getting FRUSTRATED! You keep on talking about "Garmin Updater Folder", (Instruction NO 4). Whenever i download 'Updater.rar' as per the link provided, i end up getting only one file inside called 'updater' and i can't seem to open it! For GOD's sake, where can i DOWNLOAD the folder????
Unpack updater anywhere. The place where you save it will become "Garmin Updater Folder"
Well, I see your problem, "updater" from first post of other thread is not the same as mentioned in your quote. Probably you need files from this post, click this:

Actually you already got this link and quoted in your question, didn't you?

Thanks but it still has not solved my problem. where is the UPDATER i need to unpack???????
Hi there sir. I see you are online and as such, i think you can help me out here. PLEASE, (1) Be patient with me, (2) If you could just take time and assist, i'm a pretty fast learner. I have a 3790 and my question is: Is it possible to enable 3490 features on a 3790 or i just have to transform the 3790 to a 3490. If its possible to enable features, which is the latest and easiest way to go about it? If i can only transform it, which is the easiest method. Waiting, please.
Your 37xx has already all features enabled, as far as I know, there is nothing missing.
Nuvi 34xx is different model, which has similar features like 37xx plus some extra. If you convert your 3790 into 3490, then you can enable or disable its features, depending on what you need.
I applied a firmware I got on the internet to release new features and after that, the ecoRoute function does not work as it previously requested the ecoRoute HD. How can I do to get back as it was? I've tried various procedures described here and I can not do them. My HWID is 1371. I bought my Garmin GPS 2415LT in Brazil.
Can anyone help me?
