Hi. Can you share it again? I need to downgrade to 15.77 which is the last stable version I remember. 16.22 and later have just spoiled my watch. No sensors are working

However, please note: if you choose to backdate software

The links to download files for backdating software are listed below. Select the link specific to your watch model. Please note that your computer will download a .zip file when you open this link. This zip contains the files you need to backdate software, as well as a "Read Me" text file with further instructions on how to backdate.

If you choose to backdate software, the Backup And Restore feature will help you reapply your preferred settings.

Is there a way to extract the 15.77 installation file from my watch which is still running 15.77? I want to save a copy of it myself as a backup.

I don't think
I have ask to garmin, and they have send me a link to download the old version 15.77.
you can ask to socorsu it's him who has send me the link

You can, but only before the upgrade.

When you receveive an update notification on the watch, and/or request "Check for updates", then the file is temporarly stored in the \Garmin folder.

GUPDATE.gsp
The full update file should be more than 30Mo !

You will find the full update for the last Public on the Beta Forum. for example 16.22 with latest 17.xxBeta

I am also in need of a downgrade. After moving to 16.22 it keeps freezing. Can you please share it again?

Thanks for the information about the gsp file. Although it doesn't solve the immediate problem, I'll keep it in mind.

People who upgraded disastrously to 16.22 now have to hunt around for someone who has and is willing to send them the much-sought-after but very-hard-to-find 15.77 file when they deserved an easier route to turn back to the working version.

Good luck. I'll continue to enjoy my 15.77.
