There is a known problem with 14x0 with dodgy usb socket connections to the mo and i've seen many instances in 1450 & 1490, but not in 13x0. Not to say it can't happen of course so it's quite possible.

Log didn't create becouse he change name of map from 971 to 972 but ldr.bin is still from nuvi serie 12xx ( 971 )
From inventory page i see that you don't have JCV, lane assist and speed limit enabled, becouse you have beside splash D1340-10

If you can, try connect nuvi on Pc with win7 or xp.

Before you format or do something else, you must have stable connection with Pc or you will have not working nuvi.

p.s.
Turn nuvi on ( don't connect to Pc) and go to map view and click on speed and here press for 10 sec speedometer.
Now search for non vol and clear it and you will see if nuvi will now work, but i doubt that clear non vol will help for your problem.

I want to thank everyone who posted here, i have good news and bad news

Bad news is the GPS did not erase the 41 region, then cleaned the whole USB on my pc with alcohol and tried 3 other working cables and still no luck, then cleared nonvol memory and no luck, i kept trying to connect it and then something really strange happened, like for the 20 time i was doing it, it connect for 15 seconds and say "The unit in G: has no format, would you like to format?" and GPS went to boot loop.

This morning i was thinking in buying a new one as i have a map subsription for a year until december, and GPS was useless at that time, but on my way home i went and buy 2 new USB cables, one didn't work and the second DID, it shows the GPS without rebooting but "G: has no format" and i don't have a backup

Kunix the Crash Log say "Abnormal shutdown" several times. So yeah the problem was 4 faulty USB cables (that worked well in a phone and camera i have).

Thanks everyone for helping me! I now have a different problem i think is somewhere in this forum, as Garmin Express shows no serial, and that i lost everything in the GPS (i might use a recovery software as i think the GPS was not formatted but the partition table was erased)

Edit

New cable failed again, then i found the problem

As you can see, the last pin is not there (it was bended)

Format your nuvi with prepusb and then create on nuvi new folder and add name Garmin turn off/on nuvi and you will have garmindevice.xml inside.
Now run GE or webupdater and update your nuvi.

But Loly, if it's only being recognised for a matter of seconds he'll not be able to format it surely?

Do you mean that the supporting material [as outlined in red below] around the pin has broken away and the pin has been bent over flat, or it's pushed over against the material. I can't tell from your photo. Either way you might be able to straighten it so that the plug mates correctly.

My 1200 has the same, may be worst, I found an USB cable from a video camera Sony that works even if the pin is bent.
(pc sees it only if I use that cable)
See mine:

I suggest to try all the cables you have home

You cannot run voices from SD only Internal drive.
You can copy files from SD to Internal Drive by using info from this thread.

Please read the whole thread before trying, also make sure that you have the same revision Gupdate.gcd that is loaded on your device.
LDR.bin is just your boot.bin extracted from gupdate.gcd with RGNTool
The commands in update.txt will be something like this

copy,1:/English_Australian_Karen.vpm,0:/Voice/English_Australian_Karen.vpm
reboot

Where 1: is your SD Card root directory and 0:/Voice/ is the path to your internal drive voice directory

You can also upload new maps to the unit memory the same way, and provided you know the current name that an outdated map is stored as you can overwrite it with a new map.

You can delete map but you can't copy it to unit, becouse is to large, i try a long time ago and always return error.

@tik0
Use cure tool to repair your nuvi and then Pc will see your device
