Hi FireFox58

Custom firmware 4.00 still has problem with DriveSmart 61 + Thailand Map patched or Thailand Map (Genuine) then i try to downgrade FW to 3.7, yes this version works great with my Thailand Map (Genuine)

Can you make me a custom SD flash kit with FW3.7 again?

This thing is really bad, why does Garmin keep releasing buggy firmware? It is not a commercially correct behavior, Users must be protected.
Anyway, in the next few days I'll prepare the Package for version 3.7

Maybe. That's actually best case scenario and even if so they'll not have incentive to fix it unless it also was causing problems with original firmware used with OEM area maps and legally purchased locked maps for other areas. I'm not optimistic of that being the real situation however. Likely actual case is that it's the reverse of users needing protection from accidentally buggy firmware. Garmin are likely quite intentionally looking to protect themselves from users modifying firmware. Perhaps they now have included further novel protection which makes the device practically unusable when the firmware is patched with UFP. The original firmware isn't buggy, user zdmax reports problems with "custom" firmware which I'm taking to mean "patched". Also the reports are not consistent, he's using TH mapping and found that V4.00 patched still had problems whereas other reports elsewhere seem to confirm both original and patched V4.00 and V4.10 are fine with latest US and EU unlocked maps, however both those maps when used were reported buggy only with patched V4.30. This problem may also be map area/version dependent as well as firmware version dependent in fact. Need more reports to determine this for certain though.

Thank you so much
