Check your garmindevice.xml in the Garmin folder for your HWID this determines the correct firmware, using the wrong version can brick your device.

How to Install from an SD Package - Instructions:

• Download the RAR file from the Link attached then extract directly to a clean microSD formatted in FAT32 (best using WinRar to extract).
• If your device has a Firmware version lower than 8.80 all is okay, otherwise a firmware downgrade is advisable, although it should not be necessary because I forced a firmware version of 8.81
  Anyway, you can download an older firmware release from here:

  Code: Select all

  [URL=https://web.archive.org/web/20200503191837/http://gawisp.com/perry/nuvi/]Index of /perry/nuvi[/URL]

• Ensure the device is fully OFF (not in standby), insert the card in device and power on.
• "Loader" will appear on screen for some time and the device will boot up when the flash of patched firmware is complete.
  The device can reboot itsself during the process.
• After the Patch is applied the device will be able to read Unlocked Maps.
• When the flash has completed remove the card, in its root will be a new file named 154.bin.
  That's a backup of the device's non-volatile memory region and may save your device at a later date.
  You would be best to keep a copy of it somewhere safe for as long as you have the device.
• In case of flashing of a new version of the Original Firmware the Patch must be repeated, so you have not run Garmin Express with device connected as the software update first Firmware Device if any available. Do one of the following alternative ways:
  Methode 1 (with device NOT connected)
  
  1. Get file GarminDevice.xml from your Device (you find it in folder \Garmin)
  2. Put the file in a Removable device, as an SD Memory or an USB stick (8 or 16 GB) in folder \Garmin
  3. Run Garmin Express, your Device will be recognized as well
  4. Do all the Update you want (when GE ask you to reboot device, simply secure remove your memory from PC and reinsert again)
  5. When Update finishes you will have ALL the files you need in the memory, simply move them into device.
  6. Using this Tip you have all the vantages of Garmin Express, without any problem of bricking, and you leave the Firmware release untouched
  Methode 2 (with device USB connected)
  
  1. With the device connected GE copy new Firmware Update (if any available) into device and ask for reboot
  2. Do not remove the device (this is very important) but move GUPDATE.GCD in your PC (you find it in folder \.System)
  3. Patch your Firmware using Firmware Patcher. You get a file renamed as GUPDATE_Patched.GCD
     This file must be renamed as GUPDATE.GCD and copied onto device overwriting the existing one
  4. Now you can surely reboot your device. The Firmware loaded will be patched as well

thank you very much.Loader does not want to appear. I formatted the sd fat32.

As I told before: "Ensure the device is fully OFF (not in standby)"
Turning Off the Device

• Hold the power key until a prompt appears on the screen.
• The prompt appears after five seconds. If you release the power key before the prompt appears, the device enters sleep mode.
• Select Off.

thank you very much. she works well.
-you must put the Gamin folder in the root of sd after the rar extraction.

Hi,
I need a custom firmware to test JNX maps.

<PartNumber>006-B3445-00</PartNumber>
<SoftwareVersion>270</SoftwareVersion>

Thanks a lot.

Here it is ...

This is a Patched Firmware (JNX + Unlocked Maps) for eTrex 22x/32x ver. 2.70
Since eTrex 22x/32x (HWID: 3445) does not have the GSV and falls into category 2
MSV: Yes, GSV: ---
In this case the Patched Firmware guarantees the correct reading of Unlocked Maps, including NTU and TOPO Maps with CP 65001.
The Patched Firmware guarantees reading of BirdsEye JNX images too.
Be sure to remove All BirdsEye images eventually present on Device before apply Patch
BirdEyes images can be restored AFTER flashing new firmware
Also, in this case the "patched" Firmware can be loaded through the normal update procedure via WebUpdater
Changes made from version 2.60 to 2.70:

• Fixed routing on City Navigator maps

New to the forum and probably in over my head..
Trying to find a way to load previously downloaded jnx files on my Epix 2. Bought Birdseye subscription but it can not be registrered to the Epix.
Is it possible to patch the firmware on this device, or somehow unlock the files?

Thanks

Welcome to the forum.
Just to be clear, you have a Birdseye subscription for another device and you want to use those JNX files on your Epix 2 ?
Check your PM

Hello,

yesterday I bought a Garmin Edge 1040 and am trying to patch it with the firmware patcher 2.20. With my "old" 1030 it always worked without any problems.
Unfortunately the tool says unknown device.
Is there already a solution or a workaround, e.g. to get the top v9 Germany up and running?

Thanks and regards
Redliner
