Firmware Version 57.20001.188.58
After that it bricked,charging doesn't last for 1 hour.. but I pulled it out and charged again after 8 months and now I am using it it gives me a day battery now, yet I am not getting any more firmware updates, when can I expect one?.

Hi, @aa_srinu welcome to the community, 188.58 is the current software version. Just in case you have a charging issue you might like to review this article Why isn't my Fitbit device's battery charging? - Fitbit Help Center You should also look at your GPS settings (it's a real juice guzzler) Swipe down from the clock face to settings>swipe up to & touch GPS, repeated tapping will toggle it between phone/dynamic/built-in, set it at phone this will not drain the device battery and will benefit from the larger phone antenna & battery. If you have a premium subscription you should also turn off Snore detection as this also drains the battery.
I hope this helps but if you are still stuck please post here again.
Cheers
