You should be able to access preboot by holding the top LH corner of the screen while powering the device on. However! .... I suspect your dezl has been improperly formatted. Do it again with RMPrepUSB and ensure that you use the settings shown in the initial post here: [Only registered and activated users can see links. ]. Properly formatted it should boot and create the GarminDevice.xml itself in the Garmin folder.

Thanks guys ...
@Butter, I will try reformat again tonight when off from work...
@Garman_Nuvi - interesting finding, will also check.
will update here whether it working or not.
Edit - continued:
@Garman_Nuvi - Thanks, that is the alternative way to find out the UID - I found mine on my PC.
@Butters, I had tried to reformatted my device few times before asking for help in this thread, for some reason it didn't work out. this time, I tried it on my laptop - it worked!! I formatted my device again with RMPrepUSB, then use GarminCure3 to load the GCD (original, not cured) to the device, GarminExpress then recognized my device again, and then I re-installed the MAP - now my garmin seems working now. will test it during the weekend drive. :-)
@atomantmk, thank you posting the backup files - it was a good experience to try out different ways to fix problem (even though it didn't work out as expected)
again, much appreciated for your guys patience and efforts, I won't make it work without you guys. thanks a ton!Last edited by Boki; 12th May 2022 at 06:28 AM. Reason: merged two consecutive posts

You're most welcome i'm sure, thanks for reporting back the outcome. If you don't have gmapbmap.img in .System folder be sure to add one before testing as without a basemap you may have problems with navigation and certainly will when high-level scrolling which would cause the device to crash or freeze.
