Welcome to the site....
Further to Vikram's post... I think Recovery Mode has already initialized on your device ???
MyDrive Connect >> MUST << be running on your PC, and be capable of displaying as >> CONNECTED << on MyDrive Connect...
When the device is in Recovery Mode... The device MUST be connected to your PC using the supplied USB Cable with MyDrive Connect running in the background for the Recovery process to complete....

Installing MyDrive Connect....

See Tomtom FAQ... Navigation device not starting or displaying a cross....
I think the device is somewhere between bullet-point (7) & (8)
See... https://help.tomtom.com/hc/en-gb/articles/360013959579-Navigation-device-not-starting-or-displaying-a-cross
Once Recovery Mode is initiated, and if a connection to MyDrive Connect has NOT established....
Recovery Mode will continue to attempt to connect to MDC until the Server eventually times-out
Any attempts at a Restart... The device, will continue to display a Splash screen with image of a PC and a Red Cross or a Screen displaying a spinning disc, until Recovery mode can establish a connection to MyDrive Connect or the Server eventually times-out....
