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

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Am i using outdated .gcd for the cure?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Am i using an outdated version for the GarminCure?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.
