    Its a little concerning that you had MSM and have now lost it. There's no need to load a cure fw if you have MSM, but there is every reason to load it if you haven't got MSM.

    Method 1 uses [Only registered and activated users can see links. ], not Updater.exe. Maybe give it a try with WU. If that still fails and so does Method 3, then:
    Method 4: Extract Garmin.rar directly onto a clean microSD. Insert into the nuvi. Extract 113201000390.rar somewhere convenient, Desktop is fine. Inside that rar folder is 113201000390.rgn and Updater.exe, drag the rgn file onto Updater.exe to open the GUI, enable the Radio button for 'USB Device'. Put the nuvi into pre-boot normally connecting to PC and press 'OK' on the GUI when the unit's details show in the window and wait. The unit should then reboot automatically and 'Loader' should appear on the screen if the firmware update flash starts.

    I have been trying 20 times using the WU method, I was not able to update the device.
    Software missing appeared on the touchscreen

    i downloaded the files
    Garmin.rar
    113201000390.rar

    and I tried the method by dragging the rgn file over the updater.exe

    I got a pop up window:

    Your current software version is the same as the update version.

    Do you want to replace your current software version with the same software version?

    I clicked Yes

    And the window pop up

    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.
