Garmin Edge 1030 Firmware 9.50 and 9.66

It was trial & error really....

I'd previously backed up my settings before installing 9.66

I managed to power-off the edge by holding the power key for 10+ seconds.

Then forced it into mass storage by holding the lap button & plugging it into the USB. 

This enabled me to copy the debugging folder from the edge to send to Garmin. I had a look at the errors, which indicated a Bluetooth issue was causing the crashes. (see bottom of post)

I copied the 9.50 f/w to the edge, but when I disconnected the edge crashed on boot before it could be installed

I then did a master reset of the edge.

> Power device off
> Press and hold Lap and Start/Stop
> Power device on while still holding both buttons
> Continue holding buttons when Garmin "splash" screen appears
> Release buttons when Garmin "splash" screen disappears
> The reset is successful if, once powered up, the device proceeds into the initial setup wizard.

I followed the initial setup, but didn't set up the phone connection & as soon as I could disabled BT on the edge, which made it a little more stable.

I powered the edge off, connected it to the computer & copied fw 9.50 to it. This time when disconnected I managed to install the FW.

I connected it to the computer again & restored my settings, profiles, activities, CIQ apps etc. On disconnection everything loaded back in.

I had to remove the edge from GCM & pair it again. But other than the firstbeat training metrics getting reset the edge was back to where it was.

A right ballache of a procedure.....Not a happy bunny with Garmin considering they sent the beta to me. 

Looking at the 1030+ forum it seems some users are experiencing the same issues following installation of the latest beta, which has a similar changelog as 9.66
