    Additionally, please note that [Only registered and activated users can see links. ], and the regional units are 'cross-flashable'. You need be sure that you are using the correct firmware to make the cure. It's probably the EU version HWID 1132, but see here to get its correct HWID: [Only registered and activated users can see links. ]. Don't worry, it's probably only 'soft-bricked', if you see the logo screen it's usually recoverable. If you use the correct firmware and follow the guide linked in above post you can't go wrong.

    Thanks @neil, I installed G7ToWin, set it to use USB, connected the device in preboot mode. I heard windows give the sound of device connected so i clicked on the Get GPS ID, but i get error "USB Error: open_Garmin_USB: Failed getting USB Handle.

    Any ideas?

    Also where can I download the correct firmware? I tried to follow the guides on how to download them on Garmin website but can't really find them
