Universal Firmware Patcher for Protected Garmin Devices

Hi

Will this also work on a GPSMAP 66st?

It's impossible to use any maps on this device except unprotected ones.

If anyone could help with the patch please!

SD card Patch Kit for FWID 2587 FW 6.00 Only.

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.
"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.
Your SD card will have a new file named 154.bin this is a backup of the device's non-volatile memory region and may save your device later if needed,so keep a copy of it somewhere safe.

I've downloaded nuvi13xxand14xxseries_GCDFile__630

But when i want to patch i get this

Applying rule set MSV... No matches.
Applying rule set GVS... No matches.

Can you help me out with it

Your device does NOT need patching just use unlocked maps

nuvi 13xx and 14xx | 972 | 630 | MAP: Yes | GMA: Yes | MSV: ------ | GVS: --- | File: nuvi13xxand14xxseries_GCDFile__630.gcd
MSV & GVS are NOT present

MSV: Strong - it verifies the validity of map signatures more complicated way, in this case you need to patch your firmware and unlock an .img using any correct unlocker.
GVS: Yes - it verifies the validity of firmware signatures, you have to use Updater.exe to install the patched firmware for the first time.

However a lot of the new Garmin Devices don't work with this method and require a generous Admin/poster to make a SD card unlock kit to unlock it. Is it possible to post a tutorial for the SD Card Kit unlock method?

Thank you

Hello GarmanNuvi,
Thanks for the SD updates. But can you please make a tutorial on how to prepare those update packages so that we can do it ourselves and not bother you?

In my opinion having a tutorial on this method would lead to people although well intended "Bricking" other peoples devices.
The developers of this method tested it out on their own devices at their own risk until the kits were able to be shared confidently here.
There is no need for an individual member to know how to create a kit just how to use it, as if requested one will be made available for their specific device on this forum within a day and all that have the same HWID can use it.

Very well explained thank you! I have also to add that many times people are doing it professionally and make a lot of money charging others something which is not in the purpose of this site.
