Need help with FW upgrade... Posted on: 10.06.2010 by Hang Postman When i try to do the upgrade, i cant select the right com port in the Flash Development software, can you please help? | |
| Hang Postman 24.06.2010 | I got it THANK YOU SO MUCH I had to edit the delay... |
| Leeanna Ayla 24.06.2010 | Did you get XP installed on the computer? Open it back up and recheck your connections on everything, maybe to the upgrade again. Sorry I can't believe of anything else right now. |
| Hang Postman 24.06.2010 | Any help Anyone? |
| Hang Postman 24.06.2010 | Alright, so i tried doing the advanced mode, and it said successful. so when i plug it into my normal computer and turn on the power, nothing happens. it just sits there with no leds on.... |
| Lilliana Perris 11.06.2010 | I really would like it to work tho. |
| Lilliana Perris 11.06.2010 | remember to put the little cable you take out back! I have 2 adapters.....tried SOOO many times....and I just can;t get mine to go into boot mode. irritated the FUCK outta me too. Given up. |
| Hang Postman 11.06.2010 | I have xp, im going to try to install that on a partition of a hd, then im gona try that, at least it works now, like the vci.... |
| Leeanna Ayla 11.06.2010 | Any progress today? |
| Hang Postman 10.06.2010 | Yea, JUST WORK ALL READY! I hate this thing.... but thank you for all of your help |
| Leeanna Ayla 10.06.2010 | Did you put the large rectangular paper card back on? Plug the harness that you unplugged to connect the firmware kit back in? |
| Hang Postman 10.06.2010 | This thing is so annoying, i stopped and took a break, so i put everything back together, and non of the LEDs turn on, only the power LED, nothing is connected, only the USB cable. Sorry for my language.... SHIT! |
| Leeanna Ayla 10.06.2010 | The cable is connected when you run the Renases software correct? The difference in our setup is I did mine on a Macbook Pro running Windows XP in Boot camp. Do you have access to another computer or can you try a different cable? Have you read through the threads to see if anybody else couldn't see the com ports? http://www.djranking s.com/community /showthread.php?t=871 http://www.djranking s.com/community /sho...p?t=846&page=4 I know you probably have, but I had to ask. I really believe getting the right cable is what solved the issue when I had it. No telling what Dynex has changed with these cables that could affect this. |
| Hang Postman 10.06.2010 | yea, ive been doing that, ive tried 2 thru 5... still nothing, this is so frustrating, Thank you tho. |
| Leeanna Ayla 10.06.2010 | How to change the com ports from this thread http://www.djranking s.com/community /showthread.php?t=871
if you must use a USB to Serial, read this
If you are using a USB serial cable plug it in to a USB port Now run device manager, if you don't know how to do this follow this link. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Device_Manager Now expand the ports branch, (See thumbnail 1) If you are using a built in serial port its is most likely assigned to COM 1, Check that there are no ports with the same number, if another device is assigned the same COM port number you will have to change it to use another number. If you are using a USB serial cable then it will appear in the list called something like "Prolific USB-to-Serial Comm Port", if you are confused about which one it is remove your USB-serial cable from the USB port, then you should see that device disappear from the Ports tree. Now right-click and open the properties of the Port you are using, and the click the port setting tab. (See thumbnail 2) Check that your settings are the same as in thumbnail 2. If they are not change them. Now if you need to change the serial port number click the advanced button. (See thumbnail 3) You can now change the Com port number that is assigned to the serial port in the drop down menu. Select a number in the range of 2 - 8 that is not in use. Click ok in the advanced settings window, then ok in the properties window. If you are using a USB serial cable unplug it then plug it back in to the same USB port. Now repeat the instructions in Ean's video. |
| Leeanna Ayla 10.06.2010 | I believe the com port needs to be higher than 3. Try setting it to com 4. |
| Hang Postman 10.06.2010 | Image one is the device manager image, and so is two. Image three is the image that the devtool shows, (i cant see the com port in the drop down....) |
| Hang Postman 10.06.2010 | i will take screen shots.... |
| Leeanna Ayla 10.06.2010 | When you plug the cable in do you see it in the device manager? Do you have the cable plugged in when your trying to select the com port? I'm trying to rack my brain to see if I can remember anything else that led to the no com port option and what fixed it. I tried my FW upgrade on two different computers with two different cables. |
| Hang Postman 10.06.2010 | ... the Dynex DX-UBDB9 one. |
| Hang Postman 10.06.2010 | I have that same cable.... |
| Leeanna Ayla 10.06.2010 | Which Dynex cable? I had the same problem, but I believe switching to a Dynex DX-UBDB9 cable from Best Buy solved that one. |
| Hang Postman 10.06.2010 | Anyone, i can't believe it's not working, im so angry. |
| Hang Postman 10.06.2010 | Windows seven, with a Dinex Serial to USB connector, and a custom built pc.... is that good? |
| Leeanna Ayla 10.06.2010 | Tell us more about your setup, computer, os, etc... |
| Hang Postman 10.06.2010 | So, i do all of the steps necessary, like in device manager, but i have nothing, it doesn't have the COM in the drop down box, anyone? Help much appreciated... |
