Or in the GarminDevice.xml file it is also writen the HWID of the unit. The file is inside in folder x:/Garmin

Of course, i forgot about the .xml file. But then the guy doesn't have access to the device. I suggested posting the S/no in case someone here has 13xx with a very close s/no to his. For instance, my US 1300 s/no is 22492xxxx with chipset B0972, but maybe the model id has more to do with hwid....

@albert_chong
It might be easier to get the seller to browse his unit than manually entering the diag menu? Tell him to look for the info (after <Model>) <Part Number>006-Bxxxx-yy</Part Number>. That's the HWID 'xxxx'. Surely he can do that. Don't forget to thank ddabcd277 for this, not me.

Hi, I have a garmin nuvi 1350 with firmware 5.50. I tried to change the firmware to SgMy 2.90 version with Boot 5.40 of US firmware, it says:

"There is a problem with hardware of this unit, GPS will be disabled. Take tit to a hardware engineer of the nuvi2xx to fix"

When i tried to simulate routing, it just shuts off.

Did you put in SgMy menu file into Text folder before flashing to SgMy region?
If so., just rename Text folder to other name and try to flash again.

@hellleh

Where do you download FW 5.50 for nuvi 1350?
Can you upload your original gupdate.gcd FW 5.50?

For your problem:

Dou you remove gupdate.gcd from your nuvi before flashing?
Rty clear nonvol or make hard reset,or reflash again.

@lolypop 000

The unit comes preloaded with the 5.50 software version. I was also wondering if I could get the gupdate.gcd FW 5.50.

Tried to make it to 5.40 and follow the steps here, but it just could not work.

What is "Rty clear nonvol or make hard reset,or reflash again." ?

**lolypop000** · 8th November 2011, 05:59 PM

Reset is for clear data from unit if something go wrong with flash.
With reflash maybe repair nuvi FW.
How you flash your unit to SG/MY?
Wher you download SG/My software?
