Open garmindevice.xml and you will see beside Model your HWID number.

This is what I see: <Model><PartNumber>006-B1101-00</PartNumber><SoftwareVersion>

Does that mean my HWID is 1101?

**lolypop000** · 30th March 2013, 11:44 AM

Yes, your HWID is 1101

**Roger** · 30th March 2013, 11:45 AM

Yes...

<Model>
<PartNumber>006-B1132-00</PartNumber>
<SoftwareVersion>340</SoftwareVersion>
<Description>nüvi 1690</Description>
</Model>
<Id>xxxxxxxxxxxx</Id>

Bye,bye

Great! So I can only cross-flash firmwares with the same HWID?

I can confirm two succesful attempts converting Nuvi 50 to 52 in Greece following Alviora's way and Neil's advice to save firm as OUT.rgn.

when you convert Nuvi 50 --> 52 then model number will be changed too.
This is about page from Nuvi 50.
z52 3

aek, is that a US/EU 50 or an Asian 50 you have flashed? I commented about the change of model in Post 1 at the end of the tut., and i suspect this is an indication of the close relationship of the x0 and x2 fw & hw?
