I have not tryed it yet. I only use the English map, But try this files.
Just put the Keyboards folder under the main dir in your device and the text also in the main dir of your device. and the BIN file must be in .system\ExtData

Please help me again. thx for great help to me.

1.) Put your finger in top left side of screen and hold.
2.) Whit other hand connect nuvi to PC and stil push top left screen
3.) Run updater.exe and select USB (stil push uper left)
4.) Click ok and wait to show on the screen LOADER (now you can remove your finger)

I have a similar problem.
I tried to update nuvi 1200T with the newest CNE maps, but Garmin MapUpdater started software update first. After this update my nuvi shows only a Garmin logo.
I cannot access it as external disk, but it is recognised by WebUpdater and myDashboard (but only when I connect in this mode where you have to press upper left corner and power on). WebUpdater can see the device, but fails when it comes to updating (either 'connection problem' or 'update file corrupted' message).
I tried updater.exe and it seems to work - it shows progress bar etc. - but when the device reboots nothing is changed. All I can see is the logo.
Any ideas what's wrong and how to fix it?

Thank you so much! It worked
After the update my nuvi started and said something about GIR version mismatch, but the device was visible as a external disk. Then I loaded 5.30 firmware - nuvi didn't see installed maps and languages, then reset and another update - nuvi starts, everything loads fine :D Yay!

when I try to turn on my garmin 255w, it appeared the screen of garmin and reset indefinitely.

I went online and read several posts (like this in portuguese:

I downloaded the g7towin, and information from my gps were as follows:

nüvi 2 Series Software Version 6.10 ID: 827
Unit ID: 3718 ....... etc. .....; USB Comm via Bulk Pipe

so i download the package to "Nuvi 2X5 ID 827" from

i run the update.exe and it updated my garmin, but when I finished the update and restart my garmin, i have the same reset indefinitely ... he was still showing the logo of garmin and resetting the device.

so, i try others firmwares...until I installed one of them (can not remember which it was) and Now, when running g7towin,

it's the following error message:

USB Error: open_garmin_usb: failed getting USB handle
ID: 0 Unit ID: 0 USB via Bulk Pipe Comm

and now i cant access by preboot mode.
=(


how i can update/re-write firmware with this usb error and if i cant access my garmin by preboot mode?


(sorry for my bad english)
