New Garmin Edge 1040 Solar stuck on firmware 24.56 - can't update

Hey Garmin community,

First-time Garmin owner here! Just got my Edge 1040 Solar and while the initial setup went smoothly, I've hit a frustrating roadblock. I'm trying to sync routes from Komoot, but it requires a software update that simply won't install.

The Issue: My device is stuck on firmware version 24.56

What I've tried so far:

  • White check mark Successfully completed initial device setup
  • White check mark Connected to Garmin Connect app (Samsung S24 Ultra)
  • White check mark Linked Komoot account
  • X Garmin Express on macOS - recognizes the device and syncs, but claims I'm "up to date"
  • X Manual update check on device (System > About > Check for Updates):
    • Via Wi-Fi: No updates found
    • Via Bluetooth: No updates found
  • Mag Checked ~/Library/Application Support/Garmin/ on macOS - interestingly, I can see version 29.22 files there

My Question: Am I missing something obvious here? Is this typical for Garmin devices, or did I get a problematic unit? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance!

What the *** iam missing?
