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

Cure firmware is only used to fully re-enable Mass Storage Mode (MSM) so that faulty files may be removed or a correct format done.

You may be correct about firmware, however Cure fw can also help to reliably re-enable MSM in the case of an incorrect format ... that's always needed if the format is the wrong type, e.g. NTFS instead of FAT32. Strange things can happen with only partial functionality if the format type is 'technically' correct but done to Garmin devices with the wrong tool.

I tried to use the GarminCure3 tool and to follow the process described [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] I downloaded the file eTrex10_Webupdater__360.gcd and used it to complete the described process. When the Updater.exe was done, I got a message, that the Update of the firmware has been successful.

But now the device does not boot anymore. It can't enter pre-boot mode and the device is not recognized by PC anymore. When I turn it on, only the Garmin Text shows on the screen. I can't even turn it off anymore. To turn it off, I have to remove the battery.

Garmin support said, the device can't be rescued anymore. Is that true? Is my device wasted now? Do you have any more ideas, on what I can do now ?
