Installing older version on Ultra 106sv

[aero320]

After reading a post from LWINCHESTER2, I decided to try switching back to an earlier software version on my Echomap Ultra 1006sv and LVS 32. Like many of you, I upgraded recently to the new version that added the Perspective feature, fabricated a transducer mount that let me move the transducer horizontally. It is a great new feature! But the software update also had some unexpected changes as reported on this forum. So I decided to roll back to a prior version. Disclaimer: If you follow the procedure I used and your unit bricks, I am not responsible! Having said that, here is the procedure I followed. I had the download from the upgrade to Version 10.0 on my laptop and copied it to a 32gb sd card. There is a procedure on the Garmin support website that describes forcing an update. The procedure to initiate this process is slightly different for touch screen units and non-touchscreen units. In my case, it involved inserting the sd card into the unit (while the unit is powered down) and holding down the power button. Be sure your GLS 10 is attached through the network cable and powered. Once the update started, the Echomap unit was upgraded, the the network was scanned, the GLS 10 was identified, then it was updated. Everything went very smoothly. I then performed a Factory Reset. There have been posts about this procedure voiding the warranty. I simply followed a procedure from the Garmin support website using a file that was also downloaded from the same website.

If you want to try to roll back the software on your Echomap unit to V10.0 as per the instructions above but do not have the update files, I ZIPPED the file and uploaded it to Dropbox. This is the download link: https://www.dropbox.com/s/dflk7v34xm...teV10.zip?dl=0

Unzip the file and there should be a folder called "Garmin". Copy that folder to an sd card and you will be able to do a "Forced Update" using that sd card. When you are done, your unit will be at V10.0 and the GLS will be at V2.20. Do this at your own risk!

I had a heck of a time finding the force update docs on their site. Here is the link for anyone interested: https://support.garmin.com/en-US/?fa...kXAjRpH9FhJ1u8 Now I just need to find the 17.10 zip for GPSMAP. Looks like Garmin removes old versions from their download site.

Thankyou for posting this. I’ve always kept the prior update on my computer and rotate sd cards to keep the prior version on a card just in case. Though I did not do the new update and have never needed to roll back, this is great info. This should alleviate some of the extreme anxiety others are experiencing until Garmin comes up with a fix.

Just emailed you the link from my DropBox account that has the file you are looking for. Has the updates for all Echomap units. Software for Echomap is 10.0 and software for black box is 2.20.

Do you lose your waypoints?

How long did you have to hold down the power button before "Holding" appeared on the screen as the Forced Update instructions say? It won't come up for me.

Nevermind, i have an EM+93sv unit and realized it's not considered a touchscreen unit for this. I had to hold down the 4 button in addition to the power button.

93sv+ Mine just sits on "Recovery loader ready"

Any help?? Ty

[brettw]

Thanks to

So the forced update went OK? 2.20?

[brettw]

Perfect!
I scared me at first, when the message " Ready for update "
took a minute to go away.
But soon it started loading.
5 minutes and i got my excellent livescope back.
AND I didn't even turn on the wifi.
No accidental upgrades from my phone.

I guess I'm out of the Active Captain club, but id rather be in

the Happy Captain Club!

I read here where aero 320 also did a Factory Reset?
Did you perform this? I seen on Garmin website it will wipe unit clean. Remove way points.
I am wondering if I can skip this step.

Is necessary to do a "forced update" to go back too the original version, or will a standard update work?

Thanks, John

[BassTracker175]

Yes, normally UPdate; but you need to “force” to DOWNdate.

Question about 1022xsv. I did the rollback and it updated the GLS10 now it is back to 2.2. My 1022xsv is at 18.10. Is this correct to get back to prior to update?

Thanks, John

Dr. Drop, I backed up all the waypoints first onto my Active Captain sd card, then removed it, then did the update. Set everything back to factory, then inserted the AC sd card and copied the waypoints back to the unit. Worked great.

I am working up the nerve to do this rollback and I have a few questions.
1. Does rolling it back get rid of the "ghost tree"?
2. Do you do the factory reset before, after, or both during the rollback or do you need to do it at all?
Thank you for all your help and for sharing the file for the rollback.
