Thread: IMPORTANT! If you want HELP in case of a bricked Garmin device, please follow this

I have received help in an other post with my friends bricked Oregon 400i and 450. I was able to use GarminCure, and flash my device with the cure, then the firmware to bring it back to life. I tried the same procedure with the 450 and all I'm getting is a pop-up saying that there is no available update for my device. When I move the pop-up window, I can see the updater wanting to start updating the software but the newest software is 4.20 for this device, and my 450 has 4.30, which I'm guessing was meant for a different device. My guess is, that updater wouldn't start flashing the cure firmware, as it thinks, that there is a newer firmware on it. My friend is not very computer savvy, so I'm not sure, what he did to brick this unit.
So here is all the info about the device itself. Thank You, in advance, and for your previous help NEIL and CATYMAG I will attach a screenshot of the pop-up on the bottom of this post.
