I can almost certainly say the conversion to 465T is coincidental and the problem is purely due to something which has occurred when you updated to 2026.20 map version. The transfer was either incomplete, or the file got corrupted.

Hi everyone,
I'm trying to build a manual Cure for a Fenix 6X Pro stuck in a boot loop. The official firmware (GUPDATE.GCD) I have doesn't contain the boot.bin, so Cure3 can't process it.
Could anyone share a full .RGN or boot.bin (section 0800) compatible with that model (same HWID)? I can also download it via Dropbox or another secure link. Thanks in advance!

The GCD contains only a bootloader (section 0505 - region 5) rather than a ramloader aka boot.bin (section 0800; region 12 [hex 0C]). Usually the ramloader is flashed to region 12 which is a virtual region and then the bootloader component in it is then flashed internally from 12 to region 5 along with the X-loader to region 43. The watches are set up quite differently and i'm unsure of how the firmware is handled by the device because in most Garmin devices region 5 is protected from direct flashing.
You can certainly convert the fenix's GCD to an RGN using RGN_Tool however either as a GCD or RNG the file cannot be processed by Cure3 because it doesn't contain a boot.bin.
You could try using QuickCure3. It's a modified 'universal' ramloader of sorts. Many devices are compatible with it, but some are not unfortunately. It may work or at worst it might hard-brick the watch.'Thanking Posts' are banned.

Forerunner 645 Music — boot loop, Unit ID = 0, WebUpdater fails with corrupted file
Hi everyone,
My Garmin Forerunner 645 Music has been stuck in a boot loop (blue Garmin triangle logo repeating endlessly) for a few days, most likely caused by the TopoActive 2026.10 map update.
What I've already tried:
Power off/on → no effect
Master reset (holding UP) → no beep/vibration, doesn't work
WebUpdater with recovery mode (holding UP + START while plugging USB) → device is recognized, but update fails with "corrupted file" error
Garmin Express → doesn't recognize the device
Garmin support → told me the model is no longer covered
Diagnosis from Garmin Express logs:
The device connects in GarminMode but reports Unit ID = 0. The exact error from the log:
GET .../unitids/0?primaryFirmwarePartNumber=006-B2888-00 → 400 "Unit ID is required"
This explains why WebUpdater rejects the firmware — it can't validate the device identity.
Device info:
Model: Forerunner 645 Music
Firmware part number: 006-B2888-00
USB VID/PID: VID_091E / PID_0003
OS: Windows 11
What I can do:
Hold UP + START to stay in recovery/preboot mode (I can tape the buttons)
Device is detected by Updater.exe in this mode
Would anyone have the RGN firmware file for this model and the correct HWID, so I can attempt a forced flash via Updater.exe? Any guidance appreciated.
Thank you!

It might be physical flash damage going by the symptoms you've described. However, it's worth trying to recover it by assuming it to be a soft problem . He's the link to the firmware:
The Forerunner 645 Music has HWID 2888. You can convert the GCD to an RGN using RGN_Tool from the Software and Tools section.Code:Please Login or Register to see the links
The firmware has a non-standard layout, where the "boot.bin" (ramloader) would usually be for region 12, it has the bootloader for region 5 as "fw_0505.bin", so i don't know if it will flash as an RGN using Updater.exe. That's the same layout for the fenix 6X Pro in the posts immediately above yours.'Thanking Posts' are banned.
