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

Thank you so much for your reply.

Here's what I'm able to achieve so far:

1.- Turn off watch holding power button for more than 15 seconds.
2.- Press and hold UP button (this prevents the watch from rebooting when connected to PC, does not pass the garmin logo however).
3.- While holding up button, connect to PC.
4.- PC recognizes it as "Garmin USB GPS" since I have the drivers installed.

However, I cannot access its content via mass storage and neither Garmin Express or Webupdater dectect it. It seems by what the updater says that the current firmware the watch has is version 8.40 but I couldn't find it since garmin removed old firmwares from their web.

I can, however, "update" it with the updater. I dowloaded the 9.9 firmware of the watch, and I am able to do the update (while holding the Up button). The updater says everything went well, the watch stays for a little longer on the garmin logo but then bootloops again.
