I am looking for B306500.update. can you give a download ? It is for DriveSmart65-D
Garmin DriveSmart 55/65
Updating Maps and Software with Garmin Express™
This is how you do it.
Spoiler: You do it this way
I have never done it any other way.
I have many Garmin units and they all work with no problems at all.
With GarminExpress it is not possible, to downgrade the firmware to a older firmware version. But exactly this is my intention. Because the last Firmware 8.7 can not establish a proper bluetooth connection with smartfon. Older firmware works fine. But 8.7 is bullsh...
Any idee , how to proced this ?
@morgenx,
Did you report this to Garmin??
Before you do any downgrade and wind up bricking your Garmin just like many others here because you did something wrong.
It is not the end of the world not have access to your Smartphone.
The unit will work with not problems at all.
Spoiler: Did you check out the trouble shooting guide from Garmin??
Or

Hello,
will you be able to upload the files in somewhere ,where The Chinese is not the only option? I have a bricked DriveSmart 55,which does not boot past the Garmin logo.
I found a boot menu with the SD card update recovery ,but I have no update file.Not able to connect the unit to PC,no pre-boot mode or "Erase all data" options.
Thank you
Hello, my drivesmart 55 WiFi can only display drive 55 after updating the system. Smart doesn't display it. I want to use this to recover. How should I use it? thank
It seems that Garmin doesn't have this model of drive 55

@hotport
Give a link to the firmware file you used to update if it was non-standard/patched, or state the version if it was an official release and importantly how you updated (ie via GarminExpress or WebUpdater, in preboot using Updater.exe, etc.).
Also say which HWID your device has: [Only registered and activated users can see links. ]
With that info we can help you specifically.
thank for your reply. I use webupdater As a result, smart is lost. It becomes drive 55:帮助:
This is the identification file in the machine:
<PartNumber>006-B0000-00</PartNumber>
<SoftwareVersion>35</SoftwareVersion>
<Description>Garmin 55</Description>
The original machine functions and menus are normal. It's just like this after the update It can be used, but many functions are not available
Can you help me return to the original state Recover the function of drivesmart 55?
thank!
