@andrus,
I have no idea what you did.
Why you had to do all that......???????
The best this to reset to factory default is:
Reset on Colorado
Warning: This procedure will delete information (waypoints, routes, tracks, etc) from your GPS and settings may be set back to factory defaults.
1. Power the unit OFF
2. Hold down the two Soft Keys for 2 seconds
3. While continuing to hold the 2 Soft Keys down, press and hold down the Power button for an additional 5 seconds
4. Release all buttons, and select YES to the prompt asking "if you want to clear all user data?"
This form of reset does not seem to reset all of the settings to factory defaults,
just a few of the basics like Time Zone and Language,
the remainder of the settings are still taken from your existing profile files.
Once you have completed a reset remember to
place the Colorado outside in a stationary position for 20 minutes in plain view of the sky
so that it can rebuild the almanac before using it again.
Note: Holding down both soft keys and the select button in a similar fashion seems
to do a similar reset to the Colorado.
This may be a master reset that will also reset the profiles back to the default
That is all that needed to be done.
As for the maps are they unlocked??????
Why didn't you back it up before you did a firmware update too??????

Hey,
Unit arrived to me "as it was" , i did reset unit first place - with combination u suggested.
No go Reset goes thru, erases user data etc, then Pops up setup - Language 'Õ' only , and then asks Timezone and some stuff and loads screen.
I did restore .System , by hand, getting pic from here and there and directories and File names in place , over forums, wikispaces is gone, and i can not fetch data , what was stored there.
.System folder was gone from device, like it never was there.
The backup does not have the .System (Possible person who did it , did not knew about it).
Anyway, this my save my device. Reporting back as it goes.

Are you SURE it connected MTP mode? If it really does use Media Transport Mode then it will also have .System folder in it's file system. Maybe you saw it in Device Manager in preboot mode but then it's not browsable in preboot like in MSM or MTP.
