As long as you never had a update to 278 then you shouldn't have any issues updating from 268 to the 277 if you can get the update file.

So I got the 77 file and the 78. I tried 78 on a quarter. Worked good. Then went back on 77. Gave me a message saying I was going back to a previous version and to know the differences between each version or something like that. 77 worked good on the quarter as well. So I don’t think it messed anything up

I had no problems changing to the v2.77 .. I have wired waterproof headset .. maybe that makes a difference, but I don't know .. IMO the v2.77 is the better of the two .. at least it makes the machine run like I believe it should, getting the most from under the coil .. I was really unimpressed when I bought the simplex with the v2.78, there seemed to be a 'wall' (I don't know how else to describe it) which wouldn't allow the machine to detect anything deeper, or at least report anything deeper .. and I was thinking of selling it, until I made the switch .. now I kind of like it for what I use it for.

Do you still have the 277 bin file?

Finally got it back. It got delivered to the wrong house. The connection is tight now and no more coil errors. Left it turned on in the tub last night just to be sure. I will try to email the tech and ask what he actually did to fix it. Now maybe I can finally give 2.77 vs 2.78 a try again.

Were you able to get 2.77 to work? Also hoping you can share this file with me because I can’t find it anywhere:(

Not being sure if you can go back to a earlier update if you have the newest update, I did some more searching and it seems you can go back...but I still can't find a file for the 277 update and how to go about installing and not have any problems....I found a topic on Treasurenet where others have done so but no one would post the 277 update file but one guy did PM another member with the file it seems, so maybe you can contact him to get the file.

Here's a link to the topic, you will have to join if you're not already a member to post and ask him for the file, the member that seems to have access to the 277 file is "67GTA".

EDIT: It appears that 67GTA is also a member here, he posted back in August about him having issues with going back to the 277 from the 278 update, I didn't read all of the topic to see how he overcame the issues but get in touch with him and see if he can get you the 277 file.

 

Sounds good thanks! My simplex came as 2.68 and I had never updated it. So not sure if I would have issues going from 78 to 77

Is there a reason you looking for the 277 update specifically, you can download the latest update...278 which according the their websites includes all previous updates?

Here's a link to download the 278 update.

https://www.noktadetectors.com/simplex-software-update/

As I wrote above the about current update, they say has all previous updates included as well, so I guess that's why they don't offer the older updates any longer.

Ya I see the 278. I have just seen a lot of people bag the 278 and say to stick with the 277. So that’s why I’m trying to go with the 277. Idk if anyone on here runs the 278 and has good things to say

Not sure if this is exactly what you're looking for or if it's still available for downloading.

it says page isn’t found on the link inside your link:/

Looking for the 2.77 software version. Does anybody have it that would be willing to share it? It would be greatly appreciated since I can’t find it anywhere on the internet 

Does anybody have the 2.77 software file?

Why?

The new smaller coils that are being made for the Simplex will not work with earlier than  2.77 version software.

The updates really improves and upgrades the Simplex feature set and performance. I would feel short changed if I had a Simplex with the older version software.

You wouldn’t happen to have the 2.77 file would you??
