Thread: Enable features in your nuvi 12xx, 13xx and 14xx - JCV, LA, TTS

Hello!
I use the same sequence as it was in the SG 2.80 firmware:
fw1_resources.bin
and last fw_all.bin
Copy all files from your Nuvi (so you could return them).
Change Text and Voice folders to 1Text and 1Voice (for example) in your Nuvi befor start to flash.
Delete the gupdate.qcd in the System folder if it is there.
Then start to flash alternative firmware through updater as usually.

In some cases it could be in the Garmin folder on SD card and for me it works.

But for alca777 the problem is to flash quickly when he press the top left corner.
I did it so:
Drug the original xxxxxxx.rgn file to the updater.
Press the top left corner and hold it.
Press Nuvi power button. Logo GARMIN starts.
Quickly connect the USB cable to your Nuvi.
Hold your finger on the top left corner and on the updater menu check the USB Device - ..Nuvi 1xxx.. -> And press OK.
Flashing starts (I hold my finger on the top left corner) .
When you see on the Nuvi screen - Loading...
You could remove your finger.
After the updater finish, close it
Remove the USB cable.
Turn off and turn on your Nuvi and wait for good load (a hope).
Luck

Does anybody knows how to return this feature? That I could use the Language Guide again.

After recent updates, Language Guide can only be run from the SD card (both, language files and *.unl). Read more here. [Only registered and activated users can see links. ]

I will try to explain:
I have unlocked Language Guide on the my SD card. It works perfect on my EU version of firmware 4.90 - 5.10.
Because I have the Icon (Language Guide) on my Nuvi 1310 and could start it.
After reflashed my device by alternative firmwares US/SG 2.8 or US/JPN 2.7 - I couldn't find the Icon through which the Language Guide will start.

So my question: Who knows how to find (create) this Icon (Language Guide) on the SG and JPN versions of firmware?
Please, help me

On SG firmware GLG wont work it work only in US/EU firmware

Thank you, I will try to find another version of firmware with support of GLG (or may be guys find a trick)

Hello,

Web updater start and find device,download update and stop when start update stay transfer aborted.
Can I make update from SD card and how or some another way.

You will not to use the Webupdater, You must to use updater. It's work with .rgn versions of firmware. Place both (updater and xxx.rgn files) in one folder then start updater as I described befor.

Thanks....i followed the US order and so got it wrong...i thot using US boot.bin and so should use the US order....

Actually, why the need to "improve" the 14xx firmware? Doesn't the 1400 support Lane assist+junction view+speed limit indicator in the base product? Please advise what I am missing here...
