Zip file firmware 17.xx or 18.xx

does anyone has older firmware for 955 Solar? i'm getting frustrated fixing this OHR and ABC Sensor on 20.32 and 21.19 firmware, still not getting fixed. 

I was wondering if i could fix this by downgrading the firmware.

yes i've tried everything such as reset total from settings, the reinstall software by clicking light button 8 times, plugging my watch to garmin express and connect, nothing happened.

please if anyone has the 17.xx or 18.xx firmware, let me know

    Hi!
    Please, tell me, is this file suitable for my FR265s or should I have another link?
    Tnx!
  • All the firmware listed on this thread are for the 955 series only, 265 has it's own firmware

  • Thanks for the answer. Can you tell me the sources from which I can download updates for 265(s)?
  • I have downgraded to 16.17. Today I was running without a chest strap and the OHR problem still occurs. The heart rate was 30 beats too low. I had to stop, held the watch on the inside of my arm and then the heart rate jumped from 120 to 150. After that I was able to wear the watch normally again and the heart rate then slowly raised to 150. This is probably because some sensors have not been downgraded.

    Update:

    I have just gone from 16.17 to 18.27. A sensor update was made during this process. The version numbers are now lower than before with the 16.17. Apparently some firmware versions contain the sensor updates and some do not.
    Therefore, a version prior to 16.17 would be required that contains the sensor updates.

    As I am frustrated by the OHR bug for a long time, I have downgraded.
    From 21.19 to 16.17 did not solve the problem.
    That's why I went back to 15.19 and the sensor software is now also ‘old’.
    I will now test how the OHR performs. According to the forum, LTHR detection should also work with the 15.19 version.
    Important: Most IQ apps no longer work.

  • Hi,

    I still have the stock 15.19 software on my FR955. I have never updated and also disabled software updates right after buying it. Seems like a good decision after hearing all the bad news about the OHR accuracy in subsequent software updates. And no, I don't miss the meditation actvitiy! :)

    This is the stock 15.19:

    @Christian888 So it looks like you have all the right software levels as the stock 15.19.

    The only problem I have with the OHR is that just after finishing a walk (not a walk activity, just walking with the watch on) the OHR reading for some reason sometimes goes up quite a bit and takes a few minutes to come down again. No idea why this OHR blip at the end happens.

  • by any chance you have the link for 17.xx firmware? i wanna try at 17 firmware

  • Tell me, does anyone have firmware 19.18? And, if possible, a link to the instructions, or the instructions themselves on downgrading the firmware)))
