Hi
I have a dead GPSMAP 62S with Garmin LOGO showing all the times.
I can not force Storage mode by pressing UP and Connect USB cable to computer. It shows my device in Bascamp for only 10 seconds and gone.
i read and found that I have to use RGN_tool and Updater to do a low level update firmware to my 62s
but i can not find GUPDATE.GCD to convert to GUPDATE.RGN from anywhere.
if anyone can give me that file , It will be very appreciated. i have to play around to re-activate my 62s
thank you

A lie goes around the internet before anyone ever fact checked it if it is true or not. In most cases no one ever check anything they just accept it as fact.....
I tried those ways, Hard reset does not work. Force Storage Mode also didn't work until now I will try to do again. I just run RGN_tool and Updater today but I have only Gupdate.gcd from 66s , I cant find anywhere with 62s
You have been working on this since 2020 have you tried calling Garmin or taking the GPSMAP 62s to a local shop.
Seeing that you are not getting anywhere with what you are doing.
I also found this quote from you:
From this post.I flash the cure FW successfully with the quick pre-boot mode. but the device is still not seen by PC.
The pre-boot mode is held shortly during flashing FW and it disconnect.
It seems to be hardware failure.
Thank you everyone for helping.

So what you are saying is it has a hardware failure or not??????

yes I email Garmin and I got the reply saying that GPSMAP62s is discontinue and out of guarantee and also finish customer service due to no spare part (but i think it's software problem)
i keep it in my drawer since that day until i have my new 66s so i try to re-birth 62s again if possible.
actually i am not sure that it's hardwear failure now. because i can patch QuickCure3.rgn successfully. but it cant be seen by pc. then i patch 7.2 firmware.rgn to it but i got error
i tried to work with this 62s on 2020 but i wasnt success so i kept it in my drawer. now i have 66s so i try to work with 62s again.
now i patch QuickCure3.rgn succesfully but i still cant see Storage Mode
then I patch 7.2 rgn to it but i got this error
Spoiler: lot of text
Edit:
I patched QuickCure3.rgn successfully without error but my PC still can’t see it.
I then forced Storage Mode by UP+Connect USB , with CURE firmware 7.3 , it patched 100%. But finally return with UPDATED FILE CORRUPTED
Try this utility:
Spoiler: USBDeview v3.06
From a user on another forum:
In the 11 months since I've had my Oregon 650 it has consistently had problems when connecting to my PC. About 2 times out of 3 the PC (XP) would show the "USB Device not Recognized" balloon and require disconnecting and reconnecting. Sometimes just using a different USB port would fix the problem.
I recently discovered a utility called [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] which not only shows the current state of USB devices - it shows every USB device you ever connected to your machine! I discovered there were GPS devices (and all sorts of other things) that I haven't owned for years in there. I cleaned out (actually Uninstalled in USBdeview's terms) all the things I know I'll never reconnect, plus I removed ALL the Garmin devices. Next time I plugged in the 650, it installed the correct drivers, and it's been 100% successful at connecting ever since (ok, at least for 3 days). I wouldn't advocate doing this unless you know what you're doing, but really, it is fairly straightforward.

that is really good program as i can see that my computer USB port is working for Garmin USB Port for 20 Seconds then disconnecting.
now i dont know what to patch to my 62s to make it bootable.
i did Gupdate.rgn with HWID 1113 but no work
