Hello everyone.

By any chance , is there a way to revive the Unit in humanly manner without Garmin's scissors in your wallet

Lets get very start - unit was handed to me "as is" , after failed update (webupdater) - files were missing , some there some not.
Have fiddled with Garmin devices before, and got them working so far.

What i had missing (thru intensive search in google for weekend and till now)

.System Folder:
fs_image.ver
Localization.xml.
FCD folder
GPS folder

Other stuff seems like be at place.

Profiles catalog gone.

Garmin:
Garmindevice.xml (Re-appeared after Hard reset)

Anything else present.

Device is accessible in MTP mode with dial up and insert USB cable.

Reading up, Master reset/Hard reset should do trick - did it - no go.
Disk files still all same.

Afetr more reading - Used co-workers mac to flush disk with zeroes dd /dev/zero /dev/dskX
Reformatted to FAT16 as suggested - disk showing 96X Mb something free on Colorado.
Next step suggested was Hard reset once afain with clean device - Done.
all the files that were previously on disk appeared but still no go with map loading (no basemap showing up either , copied IMG files off before format).

Tried to trick webupdater to update device - added <SoftwareVersion>2.40</SoftwareVersion>
Gupdate.gcd (7.421 Mb - same as [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] file size ) pops
up in /Garmin but will not be executed. No changes in files.

Tried as well with Garmin Express , which offered me Software 0.04 installed it but no visible changes.
As well offering me Language and WW Autoroute something update.

Guy whom i got the device had never had any backupd done from unit's files.


Have managed to re-create some of system , some stuff rewritten from other units, some stuff found thru google.
In maps folder there are 2 maps - Browse map does not show them.

But still this damn map loading is missing , ok i can handle English UI no need for language which shows some weird O with apostrophe instead of Selecting any Language.


Maybe someone could help me on matter with Colorado files dump?
