Patching is to allow the device to use shared unlocked maps.
Firmware versions are advanced to stop people accidently overwriting the Patched Firmware with the original 8.80 when using Garmin Express for other updates.
Your are not using the "Thumbs Up" button so we cannot see which maps you have downloaded.

Please do not use a PM to ask questions, that's what the forum is for and everyone can learn from the posts.


Sorry, but my device still cannot use the City Navigator Russia NTU 2022.10 - Here maps. An activation code is required.
What am I doing wrong?

Hello, somehow that doesn't work either. The patch is installed, but I can't install the map and can't just use it.
It would be nice if you could give me step-by-step instructions. Or are they here in the forum?
Thanks

Please use the "Thumbs up" button so we know where you downloaded the Patch kit from.
software/universal-firmware-patcher-for-protected-garmin-devices-t17987-1065.html#p187109 ?
Up date the device with Garmin Express 3.40 is very old.Then follow the instructions especially Ensure your device is fully OFF (not in standby)that is hold the power button until the device asks do you want to turn off.
Make sure your device is fully charged.
Unpack contents to fresh SD card formatted FAT32
Ensure your device is fully OFF (not in standby), insert the card in device and power on.(You can use the Power Cable to power on if the battery is in poor condition)
"Loader" will appear on screen for a while then the device will boot up when the flash of patched firmware is complete.
Your device may reboot its self during the process just be patient.

The instructions are on the post you got the Kit from.

Hi,
I am writing about my experience with your post of 26 October 2023. I have previously tried the firmware patcher with two different sd cards, but the loader did not appear in either case. Now I saved the original Garmin sd card to the PC and then unzipped the kit file. Miracle of miracles, the "loader" appeared and flashed, so I guess it worked.

HWID is the only safe way to confirm the correct Firmware
If HWID is 2512 then yes.
