598ci HD SI Firmware
« on: April 18, 2017, 12:09:20 PM »
I purchased my 598ci HD SI in March 2013, can anyone advise what firmware the unit had when shipped new?   I never paid any attention and the unit worked great.   Since I updated to 7.3 it doesn't mark fish!   I haven't had much luck dealing with Humminbird support, and have tried restoring defaults etc.   Anyway would like to revert back to the original firmware from 2013, does anyone on the forum have that and can send to me?    Thanks!

Steve

Steve,

I had exactly the same problem back in 2014 with my 798c after upgrading to version 6.3. I stopped seeing fish.  At first I thought it was me, or the settings, or that my lake just sucked.  Eventually I contacted Humminbird customer service via email at the time and they were able to tell me the version of software (and provide it to me) that my unit came with by looking up the serial number.  Their first answer was that they don't recommend downgrading due to the risk of "Bricking" the unit, but my response was that I understood the risk and was willing to take it on (as the unit was useless to me since it wasn't marking any fish).

Not that this helps you, but the version I downgraded to was 5.84, and I have stayed with it ever since.

Good Luck!
Kevin

Thanks Kevin, I have been exchanging emails with support, not making much headway but we'll see.   I have asked for the download back to the original firmware, just waiting to hear back.

Steve,

I can forward you the email chain I had with them back in the day if you want it.  Just PM you email address to me.  Hopefully they will resolve this for you.  I definitely learned my lesson - always have a copy of your original SW before upgrading!
