Does anyone have update 1.64 for helix 12 di g2n? I can’t see fish on 2d after going to 1.90.
Thanks.
Does anyone know where to find all the software update descriptions and release dates for the Gen1 Helix 10's? We only have some of them on this thread. For instance, I can't find the full version 1.64 description for Helix 10 gen1. Thanks.
It was same for all models:

A friend tried to update his software on his Helix 7 G2N SI using the FishSmart app..... His unit is just staying on the reboot screen. He contacted hummingbird. They stated he is stuck in a reboot loop. that he must send the unit back to them. I was wondering if there was anything else he might try to get it out of this. What if he downloaded the software to a SD card and placed it in the unit. Is there a chance that it may see this update and try to update?? Also... He has a terrova 2017 model. That also needs the software updated as well. If he has to send it back to HB will they update that software as well if he asks for it?
Hello Wayne. What is the general feedback on the 2.0 update for the Helix 7 CHIRP SI GPS G2?
Thanks!

Anyone have Update 1.64x ? I updated to 1.90 and it has been a disaster. 1.83 and 1.84 did not do well either.
Yes, I did ALL the required things prior to updates to a T.
3 Helix 10 units. 1-Gen 2 Mega SI , 1 Gen1 SI , 1 Gen1 sonar/gps , Ulterra Ipilot link
Repeated calls with Customer service has left me frustrated and still struggling for 2 + weeks.
Left side on Mega SI not working, Mega DI not working , Digital depth messed up, random loss of G1 SI,DI

Any info on when a software update for helix 10 g3n's might be coming? Seems like it's needed after searching and reading various forums. Seems like nobody running 1.940 is happy.
