Your replace pattern is incorrect there.

Here's the correct replacement:

OK.
I will change this code, but how to write new region in device?
This is main problem.

Xrgn,14,1:/Garmin/reg_14.bin
reboot

I think you have to use the command below, taking care to copy the modified file to the SD.

I'm not sure, if that's correct, but I remember for alpha 100 I used the xrgn command to rewrite the files.

Edit:

Alpha 200i Software Version 3.20, UID: 0000000000, HWID: 0000000000
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Parsing "xrgn,14,1:/Garmin/reg_14.bin
Error
Parsing "reboot"
Success

As mentioned above by user "intuicion" the xrgn command does not work to rewrite reg_14.bin

Software for Alpha 200i have 3 parts: boot.bin, logo.bin and fw_all.bin.

fw_all is equivalent with reg_15.

What is equivalent with logo.bin?

What is equivalent with boot.bin?

Can we make unencrypted software on this way?

I believe this is not the right way.

Hi Alex. I´m Juan. My *.gcd file. Cannot be understood by the FirmwarePatcher. I have the latest version of the garmin astro 320 installed.
Is there any solution?. greetings and thanks.

@tiza

Unfortunately, Alex died two years ago.

As far as your Astro 320 is concerned, its latest firmware patches perfectly via the Patcher:

Please read carefully Alex's post #3 here.

Hello! I'm very sorry for Alex, he did a great job.

I have the regional disability program that Alex did. The new alpha 200 and the new alpha 10 do not accept the new format even though it is gcd.

Can anyone help me? what can we do to patch the garmin alpha 200.
And be able to disable regional radio? .
thanks

I have also bought a US Alpha 300, but that wouldn't help I guess, if the program thet Alex made, is too old for the Alpha 300.

Did you get a solution to this ?
