This reply is not timely sorry, i only just now noticed and read your post. If you still need help to solve you may need to give some more info after trying again as below.
Some thoughts:
Firstly, 1xxx devices don't use NTU (Unicode) maps, they are only offered NT maps by GarminExpress.
Secondly, QuickCure3 usually works with 1xxx devices but not always depending on the problem causing the soft-bricking.
That error message may be only due to the device and Updater.exe losing communication, for instance by the device dropping preboot mode, or due to some corruption in the cure RGN file, but it can also be indicative of a damaged flash region that cannot be written to. I suggest you re-make the cure firmware and try again to flash but this time ensure that the RGN is loaded to Updater.exe with it's GUI visible on your desktop and the radio button next to "USB Device" selected. Ensure your device is fully OFF, not just in standby. Hold the top LH corner of the nuvi's screen and connect the device to the PC watching the window next to "USB Device" for it's details to appear. IMMEDIATELY you see the window populated, press OK on the GUI and keep holding the screen firmly.I get error message "The GARMIN device is unable to program the requested memory region.
This could be due to an incompatibility between this application and the GARMIN device.
If this error continues to occur, please contact GARMIN Technical Support."

Thanks for the input, Butters!
I think it messed it up with the NTU maps, but i had no idea...
Here's the step by step:
1. I improvised a "hack" to enter preboot - just a simple spring clamp and a rubber, it gets the job done so both my hands are free work. The USB cable is plugged in my PC and the micro-USB part I plug after setting the updater.

2. I prepare the .gcd in "GarminCure3 v0.1 by kunix" using "nuvi13xxand14xxseries_GCDFile__630.gcd". I launch the updater and set the USB connection option. The cure gets discovered and i proceed with the steps

3. Once I see it discovered i hit Enter and dash for the "Yes" menu with the mouse that is prompted (it says the current software is the same, and so on...) .Here's why i use the hack from 1. to utilize both hands. It starts doing it's thing updating, gets to the point of "Erasing" and here i hit the brick wall - every time i get the "unable to program in this memory region" error.

4. I also got a random error about the updater, no idea if it will be of any use

I tried like 10 times restarting everything, clearing the temp folder, making new cure, setting up the updater, prebooting, connecting and every time it's the same error message regarding the "memory region".
Some thoughts:
Am i using outdated .gcd for the cure? If so where can i get most recent one, or one that is more reliable?
Am i using an outdated version for the GarminCure? This one says v0.1.
Am i using a wrong data cable, i tried like 3 different ones and all of them discover the nuvi in preboot but i get to the error about "memory region" and that's it.
