Hello Everybody, it's my first post here...
For 2 days now I tried to add to my Nuvi2597 some extra maps, but I always had the "Cannot unlock maps" when I boot. Si I decided to flash my firmware, what I did, but from there when the device reboot I cannot use my touchscreen... I have first to agree with the caution message, but no reaction of the pression I make on the "Agree" button. After a while, the standard menu appears, but nothing react when I press the screen. The problem is that with this touchscreen problem I cannot start in preboot node again tu try to restore... Now I just can boot but not use the device.
Here the info as described in the sticky post
1) Bricked device MODEL, Firmware version, HWID.
Nuvi2597, FW 840, HWID 2077
2) Why and how the device got bricked.
After flashing with a RGN file that I created following this tuto : http://www.gpspower.net/garmin-recei...n-devices.html
3) Symptoms: what's wrong in your device?
No touchscreen. Everything seems OK but I cannot test it. It boots, after a while comes on the standard menu, but no reaction when I press the screen.
4) Does your pc sees your device ?
Yes
5) List all the procedures you already tried to unbrick it and their results and errors messages obtained.
Tried to launch the updater but as my device is not in mass storage mode (yellow icon on screen) and that touchscreen problem let me not press upper left corner to boot I cannot upgrade again.
6) Do you have Garmin USB Drivers installed ? Garmin: USB Drivers Updates & Downloads
Yes
7) If you don't know HWID get it by Use program G7ToWin to retrieve your HWID
known : 2077
8) Write down if you already read or tried GarminCure3 tool - the new way to create cure firmwares for Garmin devices

Not used because I cannot put mydevice into pre-boot mode...
9) Can you reach preboot mode? If no ,have you followed this? Garmin Updater.exe v.2.8.0
Every procedure s linked to a manipulation with the touchscreen so I could not reach this mode.
10) Probably no , but do you have NV backup?
I backuped every file from Mass Storage Mode before trying to update. It this availale ?
