Fenix 7 Pro 17.28 stable firmware download link?

Hi everyone! I am on the last Fenix 7 Pro beta firmware and during a triathlon yesterday it crashed while switching between activities (when I pressed the lap button). I want to roll back to the latest stable version and found this post about how it can be done, but I don't want to go back to v 16.xx but to v17.28 which is the latest as of this post. Does anyone have a direct link to download that firmare for Fenix 7 Pro? Thanks a lot.

While roll back software version 17.28 links are in fact, still active at the bottom of the 18.09 BETA announcement page, this are likely to be removed soon. They only keep a previous roll back software…

The links are dead for F7 Pro and other models! I need to revert the 18.13 s...to 17.28.

- I'd rather have Garmin team own their mistakes and correct them, but so far they seem too offended when people point them out. There are already a few threads complaining about the missing files, and…

Thanks for the instructions! Any idea where can I get 17.28 FW files. After upgrading to 18.xx my battery goes twice faster then before. I`d like to switch back and stop upgrading for good.

You can find the backdate instructions in the beta announcement threads.

I downgraded myself from beta, I think 18.10 or earlier version you can find the 17.28 fw

17.28 is very unstable (there is no stable version of it, the bugs are the "stable" version). Reconsider latest 16.xx

Hello agrarina

You can find the Roll back software version 17.28, at the bottom of this article, link highlighted in blue. As well as the instructions for installing this. *Bear in mind, rolling back the software will factory reset the watch.

Thanks for the reply! Factory reset is important effect of the roll back, but I plan to restore from backup afterwards and minimize manual setup. Can you please advise/confirm if the following will be restored after the factory reset and restore from backup:

1) Overall system settings

2) HRV status data and other performance stats

3) Garmin Pay setup (saved cards)

4) Maps

5) Stored music

6) Installed apps/data fields and their configuration (including paid watch faces)

Thanks!

Here are the items that are usually backed up and restored:

Most things under Menu > Settings, except:
- User Profile Information
- Bluetooth and WI-Fi settings
- HR and Power Zones
- Sleep Schedule
Most activity settings, including Golf settings, except:
- HR/Power/Speed Zones
Activities and Apps List
Glance List
Connect IQ items
Stocks glance settings
Backup Settings
Position Format, including user grid
Saved Timers

So you will need to download music, and additional mapping, and setup the Garmin Pay again.
