2) Why and how the device got bricked.

Set the device to Mass Storage Mode via the diagnosis menu, made a copy of what is in there, then formatted the device to exFAT.
The devices keep getting into RTL Trap and abnormal shutdown and was wondering if that would fix that. Replaced the battery already.


3) Symptoms: what's wrong in your device?
It can boot up to the Garmin screen, display the product model. Then in the copyright screen is just show the copyright c. (Before factory reset, it still display the map copyright information)

4) Does your pc sees your device ?
Yes and no, system mode does something. Can't get it boot into the storage mode again.

5) List all the procedures you already tried to unbrick it and their results and errors messages obtained.
Did a factory reset by holding on to the bottom left corner of the screen then confirm the reset.

6) Do you have Garmin USB Drivers installed ? Garmin: USB Drivers Updates & Downloads
Yes

7) If you don't know HWID get it by Use program G7ToWin to retrieve your HWID
If that is the one from GarminDevice.xml
