Hi Neil,

Could you post the 1690 Firmware again, I have a Nuvi 1690 that is bricked and couldn't get the firmware to apply the Kunnix cure.

Thank you

I gotta! HWID 1046

Thanks.

I'm sorry. I had a bad day! Should had got all the info before post.
I got to get inside by quickcure. But have no firmware to run after formatting. Do you think I can copy the GarminDevice.xml and run a webupdater, after formatting the unit?

Kunix cure cannot boot it's made to allow the pc to see the unit, after formatting you must flash original firmware by Updater.exe or within cure software, then run webupdater or Express.
You must flash a HWID 1046 firmware and only that one.

After flashing restart nuvi and check if nuvi creates a Garmin folder with garmindevice.xml inside.
If it is not created and if you have a backup copy it in Garmin folder, after that run Webupdater, if you don't have a backup, create the Garmin folder and restart nuvi again, it should create it.

Hi Catymag,

I did as you said above.
When I flash the original firmware, It created a Garmin folder with GarminDevice.xml inside.
I run the webupdater and It Worked!! Without maps.
Then I installed the maps.
It runs well for a while, but bricked again.
I did everything again and it is working.
But I didnt install all the files of the back up, neither gmapbmap files.

Thank you all!!
