Stuck booting up, ust continues to loop like it's starting up but doesn't.

A boot loop is a common issue that can occur on a computer or mobile device where the device continuously restarts or "loops" through the boot process without fully starting up.
Here are some possible solutions for a boot loop problem:

1. Restart the device: Try restarting the device by holding down the power button for a few seconds until the device turns off, then turn it back on again.
2. Boot into safe mode: Try booting the device into safe mode. This is a troubleshooting mode that allows you to access the device with limited functionality.
3. Clear the cache partition: Some devices have a separate cache partition that can be cleared to fix boot loop issues. You can do this by booting into recovery mode and using the appropriate option to clear the cache partition.
4. Factory reset: If none of the above steps work, you can try factory resetting the device. This will erase all personal data and settings, so make sure to back up any important data before proceeding.
5. Check for hardware issues: If none of the above steps work, there may be a hardware issue causing the boot loop problem. You may need to take the device to a professional for repair.

It's important to note that the steps may vary depending on the device's model, firmware version, and the region. It's best to check the manufacturer's manual or online guide for specific instructions.

Try removing the battery and then holding down the power button for a few minutes to discharge the cache. Reinstall the battery, and without starting the phone, plug it in to charge. If this doesn't work you will have to do a hard reset.

Hi,

Unfortunately, there isn't an easy solution for the Nuvi owner as it requires a custom piece of firmware to flash the unit to make it at least boot. This problem is often caused during a failed firmware and/or map update.

It sounds like a file was corrupted. Sometimes it is better to connect the unit up to a PC, delete the old map and then proceed to install the new one. There are so many issues with memory space causing failed downloads and corrupted files.

If the map file is missing, the unit will boot-up OK, it will just say "Map data unavailable" but if the map file or associated map files are corrupted, it can cause the unit to crash. Your PC won't recognize the Nuvi because you have the reach the main screen before the data communication mode routines are accessed.

We've had some success in restoring some of these units by flashing a "fix" firmware in "pre-boot mode" that doesn't try to load the map or map associated files. This should then allow the unit to boot. Once the unit boots, Windows will recognize it and then you can copy a map over to it from the PC. Reboot the unit and then flash it with the standard firmware.

looks like it's stuck in a startup loop, can you boot from a windows cd into repair console (press R to repair with xp, choose repair my computer with vista or 7) ?

if so, type the command fixboot and after that fixmbr, if it still doen't work, try the chkdsk /F /R
command. if that doesn't work, try booting in hirens boot cd (download v13 and burn it to a cd rom) if still no success, you need to reinstall windows, if that doesn't work, replace the harddisk and reinstall.

Actually if it is continuously rebooting, it is usually because someone was holding down the trigger through a cold boot process. That's what puts it into this continuous reboot loop. To get out of it do a cold boot again (pop the battery part of the way out, hold down the power button and trigger simultaneously, and then push the battery back in while the power button and trigger are still down). But as soon as you push in the battery to the point where you hear it click, release the trigger. If you hold it in too long, the unit will start continuously rebooting.

this is windows unable to get to passed the lower bios memory before windows takes over with the normal memory. Check your cmos battery is'nt low, or reset the bios JBAT1 terminal from pins 1-2 to 2-3 then back again as the loop could be corrupt bios or a peice of hardware that cannot be started.
