Thread: mumminbird update issues

Try disconnecting the Ethernet cable again ...and then Restore Defaults in both units ...

Then power OFF both units and reconnect the Ethernet cable ...

If this doesn't work ... We may have to find out what versions originally came on the units ...

You got the pro's helping you on this.... but I thought I read on the update page with the new updates a warning that both units must be running the same version or networking will be lost...

no good rickie- the last updates that were in units were 858c=v6.57 and 998csi=v6.60
have heading direction puck on 998 and terrova with built in transducer on 858.
the 2 newest updates look the same with the adding of jig mode on the si unit.
what , if any thing will it hurt to update units with same version?
may be internal problem???

Unofficial Humminbird Side Image Forums www.sideimageforums.com - Index page you can go here to download older versions, you will have to register. You will have to install a older version then reinstall the new one. I would try to download 6.60 and 6.57 that was on the unit before the problems started, then check for network tab before installing newest version

Each unit will only recognize an update file designed specifically for that model number ...
(You can't load software for an 859 into a 998... It won't read it) ...

Do you know the original versions that were in each unit ... ??

There is a "line in the sand" version that required both units to be above (or below) for networking ...
What changes were included in Humminbird Software versions 6.640 and 6.680

talked with hb support- they e-mailed me 6.810 and 7.090, backed into them and then reloaded fresh updates= no good either. have mac address- no IP address, reads all gps,temp- no tab for ethernet.
No rickie I didn.t try ethernet when i backed into old version- DUH!

A 6 and a 7 verizon won't talk. Both units will have to begin with a software version that begins with the same number. Correct me if I'm wrong Rickie.j

As a temporary (until you can send the unit to HB) ... Export waypoints from one unit to a SD Card and reinstall into the other unit ...
