Thread: Can't get a Garmin nuvi 1350 into preboot mode

Thanks for your reply. I tried doing this from the thread you had linked:

Pre-Boot for navigators nuvi 1200 1210 1300 1310 1350 1390 1410 1490:

1. Turn off the navigator.

2. Press the upper left corner of the screen.

3. Turn on the navigator still holding the upper left corner of the screen

I held the upper left corner for over 5 minutes but still nothing on the screen execept for "Garmin"

Is there another way of getting into preboot mode?

No, it's the only way. But I'm pretty sure that the pre-boot mode can't be broken by disconnecting USB cable in mass storage mode.
Try pressing the LCD as close to the upper left corner as possible. Also instead of turning on the device, just connect it to the PC, and it will turn on automatically.
Also have you installed Garmin USB drivers?
Also try using updater.exe for flashing CURE firmwares.

Try this:
1. Disconnect USB cable from PC and turn off the navigator.
2. Put finger on the upper left corner (or center) of the screen.
3. Turn on the navigator still holding the upper left corner (or center) of the screen and connect USB cable to PC.

First install Garmin USB drivers.
If you dont have installed then pre boot wont work.
