Thread: Drivesmart 61 transform to Camper

@spoon1
Read from Post #11 onward to understand about the splash screen still displaying DriveSmart 61. It's cosmetic only, you have the Camper features which is of real importance.

ok, but i not have camper poi like ACSI, campercontact or others...how to install them ?
also some menù write are still in english not on my language !

OK, I DO IT...just must reinstall europe maps , then after update i''l have camper poi.
last question, how can i do to come back to original software ?
i have to flash original GUPDATE.gcd ?
i put it (original GUPDATE.gcd) into garmin but it nor come back to original, maybe i have to flash it with update.exe ?
...and can i downgrade camper software version ..i mean to pass form 720 software to 710 ?
because i want to try some experiment ..to find solution for it
let me know , many thanks

Yes, you must flash the original firmware as an RGN file using updater.

Hi spoon,
I haven't logged in for some time. I have just answered your PM and after that I saw your posts here.Luckily,Butters answered all your questions.In general you ask the same things,which I did earlier, so the solution is already written. Finally,you can downgrade to any version,but always have in mind that the first four numbers of the rgn file should be of the present firmware.
P.S - if you find a way to change the logo to Camper 770, please share how.
Good luck !

no found solution to change logo , and garmin express see it like garmin drivesmart61 , but it give me update for garmin camper 770
i put software 700 and with garmin express it upload to 720, so it give me update for camper !
maybe i can change it also into camper 780 , it smell like same divice...some one have GUPDATE.gcd of a garmin camper 780 device ? or only garmindevice.xml file ?
thanks

hey guy's i want to convert my drivesmart 61 to a camper 770 but i don't find the firmware program ? is there a tutorial to flash ?

i already have the firmware , but what program do i use to make it work ? i soon as i put the firmware on my drivesmart 61 with updater.exe it is write missing system file , i have to put back the original .gcd to have the gps working ?

@raminator
Usually and at it's most benign, the message on start-up "System Software Missing" means that the main system software (i.e. firmware) in region 14 is either corrupt, incomplete, incompatible or missing. In that case the device will have defaulted to preboot mode, be otherwise heathy and can be seen by Updater.exe. Therefore it can be easily re-flashed with correct firmware. At it's worst the message means that there is physical flash damage in which case the device is "hard-bricked" but that's less likely. In the later case preboot will not be available at all.
