Thread: Go back to old firmwares with WebUpdater_231.exe

WebUpdater do not install the old firmware but copy the old firmware to Nuvi in folder .System (for Nuvi 1255T) with gupdate.gcd the name. You may do it yourself without WebUpdater!!! After device has reloaded the result will be same...

For old device instead .System folder it be right for Garmin folder. In any case search for <FileName>GUPDATE.GCD</FileName> text in GarminDevice.xml file. You will see the wanted path in closeness before searching result (<Path>.System</Path> or <Path>Garmin</Path>) for your device.

It is fearful secret but GarminDevice.xml file is the guide to action for all update process on Nuvies! WebUpdater and DashBoard applet on my.garmin.com read only this file on device and then collect and copy necessary files by order of data from it!!!

P.S. And some words about update by Dashboard. If you want to know that hiding under warning "Software Updates. A software update is available. Update Now" you can to see webpage source for HTML code. You find path in WEB for separate update and "sku" for its in this listing. The "sku" is identical a <PartNumber> record in GarminDevice.xml. It is mean that the corresponding file from mentioned path of Garmin site will be placed to Nuvi in the path and with the name both indicated for a a <PartNumber> record in GarminDevice.xml.
So if we want we may change a record in GarminDevice.xml and trick programs for update our unit. My mother and Garmin always says that it is not good. But mother do not see that I do and at the same time Garmin make a fool of me periodically
