Thread: Nuvi 1490 help

No need for update.log to be empty or even initially present for 1xxx series devices in my experience Loly, the new info just keeps being written below the previous info. No harm in removing it though. Certainly last_id.log must be removed of course.

I already gave him the command to copy GPX to the card in post #42, but i guess you're right and better to supply the all the packs ready made.

If you still haven't been able to copy region 41 or the gpx folder, here are 3 fresh packs below. Perhaps the write to card is being interrupted because the unit tries to boot before it's finished and that's why you have only a partial 41_backup.bin file and 'error' in update.log, but it should have had time to complete so maybe rgn41 is corrupt. It certainly should have had plenty of time to copy only the gpx folder.

Try again with loly's boot RGN file flashed with updater.exe in preboot to backup 41 using this pack unzipped onto a clean card:
[Only registered and activated users can see links. ]

If you get another backup keep it. Then regardless of outcome, use this one to try to copy GPX:
[Only registered and activated users can see links. ]

If neither is successful and you are ready to give up, use this one to erase region 41 and then your PC should see the internal files if the unit's flash drive is not damaged:
[Only registered and activated users can see links. ]

Be aware that when you erase 41 without a viable or repairable backup that your unit will have lost it's registration and unlock codes.
