gen 1 helix 10 si

[Pathornton]

Just bought a used gen 1 10si. It has software version 1.46. Ive heard it coukd crash it to take it all the way to 1.9 at once. Anyone had any experience with this? Thanks

[Pathornton]

if so, does anyone have 1.64 on their computer? possibly email it to me?

I've never heard or seen that to be the case with Helix units.

With the ONIX and SOLIX if you try to skip some versions the unit will fail to update.

Where did you hear that?

Actually since I’ve asked on here ive been told the same thing by an authorized seller/installer and by a guy who does seminars for Humminbird. They didn’t say it WOULD, they said they sometimes do, so I guess I’ll wait til Humminbird opens on Tuesday. Thanks

(Version 1.9)
"Fixed an issue where updating from software older than 1.400 to new software would cause an update issue."

I don’t doubt that it would be ok. Guy just said.that he’d had one lock up 2 weeks ago. Better safe than sorry I guess. Thanks

I'd probably do the same thing given the information you have .... I always subscribe to the better safe than sorry method if I can.

Gotta be someone who still has that software.

I have all versions back to version 1.35 but unfortunately don't have or know a way to transfer (my email won't accommodate file size). I'm fairly certain HB will send it though if they know the reason.

You can do it with Dropbox.

Had this happen to me. Unit would only cycle through the powering on and powering off screen after I attempted the 1.9 update. Had to send it back to HB.
