HI, any news from some expert to be able to unlock the firmware of the Zumo XT? If necessary, I am available to send the files to be modified. Thanks

Moderator Note
Please use "search this topic" before asking a question, there are many posts including devices that cannot be Patched due to them having Encrypted FW

Great master, GarmanNuvi!
Does this patch version support the [Please Register or Login to download file] ECHOMAP UHD 95sv: 19.20
Or you can, may be, recommend a more current patch version?

Can you recommend a solution, other than downgrading?
And, If downgrade, then which version FW for ECHOMAP UHD 95sv to choose?
Can you recommend?

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.

Hi guys,
I am desperate now, I have tried for hours but no luck...
So the question is, how I can get this map in My DriveSmart 66? Each time I get info that map is corrupt. Any ideas? I have tried different .img names, different foldes in SD card etc. Thank you all in advance.

For a few years newer device's firmware could be patched (determined by their HWID) to use unlocked maps, since the DriveSmart 65 the firmware has been encrypted on these later devices.
Unfortunately it looks like Drive, DriveSmart 52,55,65,66,71,76,86, zumo XT ,Alpha 200i, Montana 700 are all in the same category.
No solution as the Universal Firmware Patcher does not recognise the new encrypted format.

Thanks, so you are saying only option for now is to buy from Garmin, correct?
