    So im back again, with great news

    I loaded cure FW, and the device poped up in Windows
    Then made a complete backup.

    But after that, I made a foolish move by loading original FW again.
    (saw in GarminCure3 thread this was next move, so i tried it)
    (know by now, that i should have followed the tutorial in this thread)
    And of course, that move did not work at all.
    I was right back where I started

    So load cure FW again, format with rmprepusb, create Garmin folder,
    remove device, load original FW, update with WebUpdater,
    then at last I used Garmin Express to get the new maps.
    All went very well, and device seems to be up and running again, with 2014.30 maps

    Only thing left would be to compare the backup I made with the "new" Garmin device.
    And there are many miscompares. Also "critical" files like gmapbmap.img

    Does anybody happend to know, wich files/folders I should be aware of/avoid to copy
    from the backup ?

    Remember, I still have the one with broken screen, wich i can copy files from if needed.

    Thank you all very much again, for your help so far, i am almost embarrassed,
    that so many people are involved in this allready, it was not ment to be a big thing.

    One more thing, that I just dont understand, all the "recently found" and "favorites"
    are also back in the device, even after i formatted the whole drive, and havent used
    anything from the backup yet ? Im not saying this is a bad thing, just dont understand...........
