Extract to find 113201000390.rgn inside. [Don't confuse this with the other rar file i made earlier to use with SD method 4].
    In your reply, I can see the instruction as:
    1. Load nuvi16xxEU_regionfileonly__390.gcd into RGN_tool
    1.1 Save the first bin file fw_all.bin (the question is, save as RGN? The file name should be fw_all.bin.rgn?)
    1.2 Save the second bin file fw1_resources (the question is, is it the third option in RGN_tool resources.bin?)
    2. The option I can save the files is RGN or GCD, I believe we are ONLY interested in RGN.
    3. You mentioned loading each saved files separately to RGN_tool (I believe by dragging them one by one to the "File Drag Zone" and save as 113201000390.rgn.

    Thank you for the file, as you can foresee this task is beyond my capability. Appreciate.

    If the flash isn't damaged, a reformat with RMPrepUSB. Read the initial post in Cure3 thread for more details.
    I tried the GarminCure3 method by kunix with other device and was successful resurrect the device. load cure, update.exe and pre-boot, reformat with RMPrepUSB and load with original in pre-boot.

    Again you're confusing two separate methods. This is P#36 and it's what kunix said in replay to nuvi1100 not being able to run txt commands on SD:

    I've already patched the boot.bin for you and made the rgn file, it's in the second rar file along with Updater.exe [read my Post #16 again carefully].
    I think they are the 113201000390.rar and Garmin.rar (Post #16) I got from you. I shall put the Garmin rar (gupdate.gcd and update.txt) in a microSD and insert it in the device. And the 113201000390.rgn in the 113201000390.rar post #27 is to be dragged over the updater.exe and pre-boot my device to flash it.

    The Garmin file is to USED with the modded boot.bin RGN [113201000390.rgn] as said above. There are 2 separate rar files to be used together. So as said please read carefully P#16, repeated again P#24.
    I will, thanks.

    Yes it seems that final sentence is so, because your interpretation above it is completely wrong but don't concern yourself any further about it. Just use the extracted file from the rar i've attached there in the first part of my Post#27 and drag the extracted 113201000390.rgn onto updater.exe, put your unit in preboot and flash it.

    I tried the GarminCure3 method by kunix with other device and was successful resurrect the device. load cure, update.exe and pre-boot, reformat with RMPrepUSB and load with original in pre-boot.
    Sure, i know that. But now you don't have MSM and you can't load anything in preboot seemingly, so something is preventing that. My point was [and remains] that you already had MSM before using cure fw because you were able to delete the existing gupdate.gcd as requested by the support lady at Garmin, right? So imo there was no need at that time to load cure fw because you already had MSM. But you've since lost Mass Storage Mode. My reading of your posts indicates that since you 'cured' it, you've been unable to [successfully] load original fw and are still faced with 'system software missing' message, correct?

    I think they are the 113201000390.rar and Garmin.rar (Post #16) I got from you. I shall put the Garmin rar (gupdate.gcd and update.txt) in a microSD and insert it in the device.

    Don't put Garmin.rar in a microSD, extract it onto the card so that Garmin folder and gupdate.gcd are in the root of the card, then the rest above is correct.
