Topic: Helix g4 no more 360

[reso]

Hi guys,

My helix 12 gen 1 got damaged after many years of good service with my as360 pod.

I bought recently a helix  12 mega SI+.  gn4 with the latest firmware and it says that the as360 is not supported anymore ?? That is ridiculous and forces me to invest into mega 360 while I only use the 455 khz at sea....

Is there a way to downgrade tot before 8-2-2024 , the latest  version that does not support the original 360? How to get the older firmware , I have looked everywhere on the net but no success.

Cheers

Humminbird has always indicated that software older than what came in the unit will not successfully load  ...

I don’t know if the unit would even recognize a software version older than what came on it  ...

I’d be afraid it would brick the unit and have to be sent back to Humminbird  ...

I would think so ,since the unit came out in 2021 with a previous firmware. It was not released with this latest firmware , at least this specific model.
I would try it, if I had the previous software version , think it is 2.880 ...

The G4N May have been released in 2021 but what year was your actual unit built  ...??

The first six numbers in the serial number indicate when that specific unit was built  ... YR/month/day
