Hello, can somebody give me a link where to download previous firmware version?

Please can someone upload 8.03 for Garmin Fenix 5 plus? I need to downgrade it for battery problems

Download for instance 8.03 version. And install the file inside the folder system back (or something like that) I'm out now and I can't tell you exactly

I have tried all the versions 6.0, 7.0....any files i am copying to my device, it doesn’t recognise it...when i pull out the watch from the laptop, it doesn’t see any update. In another way, i have put beta 8.73...and it worked. BUT what bohers me, is the battery problems...it lasts 1.5 day from 4-5 when i bought the watch and it was with 6.0 firmware....

Just to clarify the downloaded file has to be renamed to GUPDATE.GCD and put in /GARMIN directory of the watch.

If you have problems, try the official (not beta) release first like 7.60 ...

Downgrade to a very early software may cause problems with the watch.
