Forerunner 955 update to version beta 23.X

8828707 7 days ago

is it possible to go back to version 22.X excluding beta versions? Unfortunately version 23.X beta has only errors. The watch restarts itself during activity. I tried to do a reset or clear everything but the version does not change, it is 23.X Thank you,

There's no official way to go backwards in versions.

Aha, that's a shame because this version 23.13 is very problematic. During the "Strength" activity, the watch restarts.

Aha! I've made that note on your bug report.

I only do run and walk activities, so I haven't encountered this bug.

Running and walking work fine. However, "strength activity" is a problem. The watch restarts itself. Please check it yourself. It's a pity that you can't officially go back to the stable version 22.X

As nowster mentioned, there's no official method. I don't have it handy right now, but if you check here, there are several threads listing previous versions and users who've shared how they did it, but you'll do everything at your own risk, obviously.

It's strange; it's never happened to me, and I use it for strength training 3 or 4 times a week, even with the latest beta. As I always say, I don't know if it's a matter of different hardware versions, even within the same model, or just luck.

Perhaps if you create a report and detail the error and how to reproduce it in the beta area, we could all test it and try to replicate it, and Garmin could see it and fix it.

And how do I create a report? Where could I describe it and ask for verification. Maybe my watch has a problem but it started with the update to beta.Thanks

If it's a problem with your watch, you should contact Garmin support in your country; it's the best way. However, if your problem started with this beta, you can easily create a ticket like any other post using the link I sent you on the previous post ( https://forums.garmin.com/beta-program/forerunner-955-series/public-beta-bug-reports/i/public-beta-version-23-xx ). There, you'll see that users can generate a report as a post, just like you did with this one, but in this beta area, clearly describing how the problem has occurred since you started using this beta version. I hope this helps.

Plug in your watch to a PC, create an empty "force.tmp" file in your watch Garmin folder along with the "gupdate.gsp" file Then unplug and install

Thank you. I understand that this is the earlier stable version 22.X ?
