Thread: Nuvi 1390, froze then stuck on Logo screen.

If your 1300 shows the logo you should be able to access preboot. I have restored many devices stuck on logo and all could be accessed in preboot for curing. Be persistent and you will do it. Follow the precise instructions in links given to you, but in brief:

1. Prepare the cure fw using kunix's cure3.
2. Have updater.exe open with 'USD Device' selected and your cursor over 'OK' ready to click it.
3. Plug USB lead into rear port of PC, but not into device yet.
4. Hold the top LH corner [as you look at it] of 1300 firmly with finger or thumb and don't let go.
5. Plug the usb lead into the 1300.
6. Immediately you see your nuvi details appear in the lower panel of updater.exe, click 'OK' and wait until it's finished [or at least until 'Loader' appears on the screen] before letting go of corner
7. Reformat using RMPrepUSB, then repeat the above process using the original fw.
8. Run WebUpdater to reload necessary files.
9. Replace Maps.

Be sure your 1300 is completely off by holding the on/off button down before you start. Be wary of using the same files on the unit originally as one of them may have caused it to 'brick' in the first place. Ensure you have current Garmin usb drivers installed. If you are using Win 7 or 8 and unsuccessfully, try a PC with XP.
