Enabling USB Mass Storage Mode on Garmin Vívomove HR

When a Garmin Vívomove HR smartwatch is connected to a Windows computer via USB, it is installed as a “Garmin device” (“Garmin USB GPS”).

If you want to access data on the watch, you need to switch it to a USB mass storage mode. This is a simple tool to do exactly that. It works by sending a specific command on the USB bulk out interface of the watch.

For the program to work, you need to replace the default Garmin driver with a generic WinUSB driver. For that, you can use e.g. Zadig. After that, just run the program. The USB device will reconnect in USB mass storage mode.

The implementation is copied from Python implementation by Leberwurscht. Thanks a lot!!
