Topic: 597ci HD DI Older Software Versions

[LarryM1790]

I recently upgraded the software on a 597ci HD DI from the factory version of 6.090 to 7.120.  I reset the settings to default before the upgrade but it is having issues with sonar now.

For testing I hooked another 597ci HD DI running original software (version 6.090) to the same transducer and it is working fine.  I am emailed support but was told downgrading software was not supported.  I would still like to downgrade the software back to the original version that was working if possible.

Since I could not get the update from humminbird I was wondering if anyone here had any old software preferably 6.090 for a 597ci HD DI unit.

I don't have that model ..... if it the 6.090 was the release that came with the unit, it may be hard to find .... Maybe someone on here will have it.

Can you give us some more info about the problem and maybe some screen shots?

Hi,

I'm having the exact same issue. I am also in the process of emailing Humminbird, but so far they're suggestions haven't had any effect. Is there anyone able to provide me with an older version of the firmware for my 597 ci HD DI? Thanks, Matt

Thanks for the update. I really appreciate your help. In my case it came with firmware 5.470 (worked perfect), and I installed 7.120 (After which my sonar didn't work). I tried to install 6.090 today, but it doesn't ask if I want to update the firmware when I install the SD card with 6.090. When I had 7.120 on the SD card, it automatically asked if I wanted to update the firmware when I inserted the SD card. Any ideas for where I go from here? Thanks so much for your help!

ok. I've tried all 3 firmware configurations, and they updated perfectly, but my transducer won't "tick" like it used to with any of them. I've checked to make sure the sonar setting is turned on. I'm going to see if I can find a new transducer for it to test it the transducer out. Thanks for all your help!

This is a complex transducer repair. Pay attention to the cable input to the emitter or buy a new one XNT 9 DI T
