I did what you told, only system and loading appear couldn't get into pre-boot mode, any idea? thanks.
This is how I do it:
1. Install Garmin USB drivers on your computer.
2. Download the appropriate *.GCD firmware file for your unit.
3. Make sure GarminCure3.exe and Updater.exe are located within the same folder (or both on your desktop).
4. Start GarminCure3.exe.
5. Drag & drop the *.GCD file in the browse window of GarminCure3.
6. Select “ORIGINAL”.
7. Click “Make firmware”.
8. Verify the contents in the output file window and click “Updater.exe”.
9. Select “USB device”.
10. Put nüvi into preboot mode as follows:
--> Make sure nüvi is switched off.
--> Press and hold top left corner of the nüvi screen.
--> While still holding top left corner of screen, connect nüvi to PC via USB cable.
--> Ding dong! (sound when nüvi is recognized by PC). Keep holding the left upper corner!
--> nüvi details will be shown in Updater window.
11. In the Updater window, click “OK” (don’t wait too long!).
12. Flashing of ORIGINAL firmware will start. Progress bar shows progress.
13. You can now release the upper left corner of the nüvi screen.
14. Wait for the process to finish.
15. Disconnect the nüvi and let it reboot.

When you see on nuvi screen system and loading then you in pre boot and if you have updater.exe open and installed garmin usb drivers then you will see that your unit is recognized
If you folow tutorial from smokefree you will see your unit in updater.exe window.
This garmin driver you MUST install and updater.exe will see your device:
Spoiler: Usb drivers
Sorry Loly & SF, but i have 2 x 3590s and cannot put either of them in preboot by holding the upper LH corner as with most other units. They only ever go to preboot by holding directly over the G.

When it appears Garmin logo, then holding the upper LH corner.
got the nuvi 3560 boot up at last, but all the locale, voice and audio (blank) cannot mount the internal maps. win7 can't detect it except in mass storage mode, try to flash it with original firmware, nothing happen.
Did you reformat it? What do you see in MSM, are there any files and folders visible in Windows?
