Reply With QuoteIt should have tried to re-boot at around the same time Updater finished. Force it off and see if there's anything new created on the card, Update.log and 41.bin as i said in previous post.

so, the unit is acting differently - now it shows 'software loading', havent shown this in any previous attempts.... just from curiosity, how long should it show 'software loading' before i say it is hung and effectively dead? updater has closed, it said successful but unit still showing 'software loading'....
no worries on the v3 issue - i read it and was kinda figuring you knew indicated other issues as you mentioned....
but at least i have made every good effort and proved what i knew from the start with garmin - there is a way to bootstrap these things...

so this is the 'update' file:
rrgn,41,1:/Garmin/41.bin
reboot
there is no 41.bin file....
however, i did check g7towin again:
software version: 7.3
id: 1113
unit id: 3828582182
usb comm via bulk pipe
i did try your sd card method a 2nd time:
shows on my laptop as successful, and closes when i say 'ok' - but gps doesnt reset just keeps software loading message...

Ok then, it's some progress but maybe not enough. Since the modded V7.30 ramloader flashed properly at least G7ToWin is reporting correctly.
But it's what is in the update.log i need, if that file is present. The content of the update.txt file is what you've given me.
If there's no LOG file created this isn't really working.'Thanking Posts' are banned.
