Edge 8.00 gcd update file available?

Can anyone provide a link to the 8.00 firmware file. 8.10 has messed up numerous sensor and Bluetooth related functions for me and I'd like to go back until they are resolved.

In my experience, 8.00 was not better in that regard.

You may be correct. 7.10 was stable. I've found that and will try rolling back to there. Unfortunately there is no easy way to turn off auto updates. Somewhere in my archives I've got a program that was able to edit the gcd file and insert a bogus file version that disabled updates on the 800. I'll have to see if I can chase it down if 7.10 performs better than 8.10.

I'm back to 7.1 with my settings intact. Only thing I had to do was reconnect wifi and my phone. Sensors, profiles and screens are all good. Edge 7.10 gcd file here. Putting an "empty" gupdate.gcd file in the Garmin folder seems to block updates. I'll update how well it works in a few days.

I want to confirm that rolling back to 7.10 resolved all of the remote dropout issues ans well as other issues with Bluetooth post ride uploading. I'm not aware of anything that 8.00 and 8.10 have fixed or added than I'm missing.
