Firmware Rollback ???

Does anyone know how to rollback the firmware on their ONE XL.

Just wondering if there is a method of restoring it to it's original out of box firmware state in case I have any problems with the firmware update that I did yesterday.

Any help appreciated.

Many thanks.

By far the best way is to make your own full backups at every stage, i.e. BEFORE you make any changes.
There are a few previous versions of software available on Oldboy's site HERE, but they are no comparison to just restoring a backup.

Instructions for making proper backups with Windows Explorer are in the FAQs at the top of this forum section. Do not use TT Home for backing up.

Thanks for your reply Andy_P.

I didn't think to do a backup before updating as I assume the updates are stable, anyhow, what version of firmware from Oldboy's site do you recommend for my ONE XL.

Many thanks.

You should ALWAYS keep backups..... if anything goes wrong during an update (and it does) you may lose your map, and there is no way to replace that without buying a new one.

Do you have any idea what version you had before you updated?

I have done a list of what software was repeased for what models HERE. Have a read through that....
At a quick glance, I would suggest you try v.162 from Oldboy's site (ignore the fact it says it is for the x00 series, it was for the One XL too), that's a pretty good/stable release.
There was a later v7.167 for the One XL, but Oldboy only seems to have v7.166 which was for the One 3rd Ed. only.

BACKUP before you start messing.....
