gupdate.gcd with software version 22.24

I'm looking for a file with the current software version 22.24 because, unbeknownst to me, the watch suddenly restarted and keeps rebooting.

The only thing I can do and turn it off.

I want to try to manually upload the update file with the hope that this will fix it.

  • if you are on windows, try to locate it here

    C:\ProgramData\Garmin\CoreService\Downloads\Firmware...

  • I tried posting a link to the official 22.24 file, but the moderators censored that post. I hope the moderators can jump in and help this person, instead of censoring people trying to assist.

  • I tried twice to post in this thread to assist with the above request, but the the post was not approved. Assuming others trying to help are also encountering the same issue, you will likely not find anyone sharing any useful information here. Feel free to PM me as I have the file you're asking for.

    The forum is setup that way. As a new forum member, all posts need to be approved by a moderator. This is to keep the spam posts to a minimum. You probably saw something like this, unless you're on a mobile device.

    It appears that all of your posts have been approved, including the link to the download file.

  • I am aware that some forums are set up like that for new users, but I've been a Garmin user for quite some time, so I did not expect to be treated as a new user.

    But either way, my frustration was not simply because I had to wait for a post to be approved. My posts were actually rejected and I then appealed the first 2 while waiting for the 3rd one to be approved. Apparently the appeals were later accepted, although I provided no new information in the appeal, I simply encouraged the moderators to either allow me to assist, or to step in and provide the assistance themselves.

    I then realized the OP did not specify the model they wanted the firmware for, so I tried to edit the original post to add links for all 4 variants, but that edit was moderated as well. I'm still waiting to see if that useful edit is approved, or I have to appeal it yet again.

    Garmin user maybe, but your first post on this forum was today...

    You are still in moderated status, until you've built up a posting history.

    Only an admin can unmoderate your account, before you've reached the threshold for automatic approvals. I'll keep approving your posts until I no longer need to. You don't really need to appeal anything, as I'm constantly watching the moderator's queue for legit posts. Although, I've been known to sleep occasionally, so there might be a 6-8 hour stretch where a bunch of these get stacked up in the queue.Slight smile

  • Is there a way that you could help me to find an older version of the firmware for the FR165m please? I'm looking for v20.32 Thanks :)

  • Unfortunately I'm only able to get the link for the latest version of any model. For your watch model that is also 22.24.
