    Default Please help downgrading Garmin Oregon firmware

    Hi all,

    I have an Oregon 450, running Software Version 4.50 (GPS Sofware Version 5.00), and I'm trying to downgrade to 4.32. I've tried the following so far:

    I went to [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] and grabbed 4.32 beta. Then I did:
    Change the name of the file you just download to gupdate.gcd
    Attach the GPS to your computer and verify that it is in USB Mass storage mode
    Copy gupdate.gcd to GPS internal memory:\Garmin\gupdate.gcd
    Disconnect GPS from PC
    Restart GPS

    Upon reboot my GPS still reads I'm using 4.50/5.00, not 4.32.

    Any tips? I'm trying to downgrade to 4.32 so I can patch it to use homemade JNX files, but I'm a noob, trying to be careful not to brick my device.

    Thanks for any help you can offer!
    Oy.

    but anyway in brief ,delete the gupdate.gcd in your unit, edit in your device.xlm the line showing the firmware you'r running to a previous sw n. , copy the gupdate.gcd you want to flash in your unit and restart it

    There is patch for all current version now. If you have old version of JNX you can modify it to new version for capability with new software. No reason to downgrade software in your case.
