Thread: Garmin Logo.bin files (12/13/14xx-37xx-34xx-35xx-22/24/23xx-760-30/40/50-200-2x5w-Montana etc)

Maybe we can replace the potentially [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] in your current logo bin. Do you happen to have previously done a complete NV dump from your 1695? It's too late to do it now as the unit's stuck on the logo, you need the unit to boot further to dump regions.

Do you know anyone with a 1695? If so we can use their unit to get the logo bin.

I'm just wondering how far it's booting before it sticks on that image. Some units have 2 or more logo images, perhaps if its sticking on the 2nd one it maybe far enough into the boot to do an NV dump. Do you see a good image momentarily with the unit details followed by 'loading maps' at the base of the screen in small white print before it changes to that faulty image? Or does it just display the faulty one immediately with no white print at all?

EDIT: PS ... Try this anyway, unrar it onto a clean microSD, insert to the unit with it fully off, turn on and see if it shows 'Loader' near the top of the screen. If it does, wait until it finishes [it will try to reboot], then force it off. You should then have a file named 16_backup.bin in the root of the sd. If so, post it here as a zip or rar.

The images look ok in GIR_Editor:



They are the same size/resolution as the images in my AU1690 so your two EU1690s should have the same as well. You could substitute the 4 x PNG's and try reflashing the logo bin. Do you need help with that? If flashing the logo bin containing 'known good' images doesn't work then the problem is elsewhere and the device may need to be cured with [Only registered and activated users can see links. ].

EDIT: Not only are the images the same, i've found that the logo bins are the same. So just flash your 1690 logo to the 1695, or even easier for you, i'll upload the logo bin and attach it in Post #1 here.

Attached here too:

Seeing its writing to microSD, it should also flash from it. So extract this rar file onto a clean card: [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] and proceed as before. If this is successful the unit should boot up afterwards.

If it won't flash from the card, extract this file somewhere convenient on your PC: [Only registered and activated users can see links. ], open updater folder then drag 118801000320.rgn onto updater.exe and flash it normally. Instructions are as per Step 2 in [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] of this thread.

If neither works, then it'll need a cure fw.

'There are no USB devices available' message means the unit is not in preboot. If it can write to the card and display the logo it can reach preboot. Try this: Drag the rgn file onto updater.exe and leave it open and visible on your desktop. Select the radio button next to 'USB Device' on updater.exe. Plug a usb lead into a rear port of your PC [not into the nuvi yet]. Ensure the nuvi is fully OFF. Hold the upper LH corner of the screen and then plug in the mini usb to the nuvi, keep holding the screen. When you see the unit's detail appear in the window next to 'USB Device' click OK, still holding the screen at least until you see the word 'Loader' appear on the upper part of the screen. If you can't see the word because of the state of the logo pic, just keep holding until the process is finished.

PS: One more thing, you have got Garmin USB Drivers installed on that PC, i hope:
