Firmware not loading to Taranis ?
Firmware not loading to Taranis ?
Hi when I try to write new firmware to my Taranis x9d se it loads it then I get this message (see photo)
Any way to fix this or is the radio faulty ?

Re: Firmware not loading to Taranis ?
Please, more information. Can you read data from your Taranis to Companion?
Re: Firmware not loading to Taranis ?
If you mean can I bring up the tx menu through companion then yes.......Also the tx shows up on my pc along with the Sd card.

Re: Firmware not loading to Taranis ?
Just as an example if I have the heli screen loaded so have 13 pages.......So if I load the download screen up again and this time untick the heli box then download to the pc the open tx companion then asks if hi want to flash to the tx which I agree to but as it finishes flashing across to the tx I then get that message.......So I'm left with 13 pages on my tx rather than 12 ( this is just an example but hopefully you understand what I mean)
Re: Firmware not loading to Taranis ?
What are the versions of firmware and bootloader you currently have? You might have the FrSky 2.1.6 bootloader which has broken USB functionality. If so update it, possibly using the SD card.
Re: Firmware not loading to Taranis ?
Both have been updated to 2.2.1 when I bought the tx brand new last week it had 2.1.6 on both the tx and bootloader so it did let me update it but since then I just get the message if I try to adjust the version I now have.
Re: Firmware not loading to Taranis ?
Try placing the OpenTX firmware file on the sd card
In the folder called FIRMWARE
Power of tx
Pull in horizontal tabs and power on
Select the update firmware option.
The maximum file name length is 32 characters including the dot and extension. If the file name does not display on the screen shorten the length of the file name.

Re: Firmware not loading to Taranis ?
Rcdiy I have done that and it does load but like I said as an example I have heli ticked on the settings so have 13 pages in the Taranis if I then untick heli and download the software to the Taranis through companion I get that message at the end and I still have 13 pages.......If I load it through the firmware on the Sd card it seems to load with no message but again I still have 13 pages rather than 12 So effectively it didn't load ?
Re: Firmware not loading to Taranis ?
If it didn't change then you didn't copy the correct file to the card. Check the filename which lists the options.
Re: Firmware not loading to Taranis ?
Post the file name here

Re: Firmware not loading to Taranis ?
Ok so I've loaded a few screenshots to explain what I'm doing........Firstly load companion on pc then click settings tick or untick the files i want or don't want then download to pc which also asks then if I want to load to the tx..... to which I say yes it then nearly loads as you watch the progression bar but then at the end I get the error message ?
Re: Firmware not loading to Taranis ?
I realize you want a solution.
I’m trying to offer a workaround:)
For the workaround does the file name have noheli in it?
Anyone else have ideas on the cause and solution?
Can you read models and settings and then write them back?
Can you backup the radio/firmware from the radio and then write them back?
Backup Radio to File – Saves a copy of the models and transmitter settings to the computer.
Read Firmware from Radio – Saves a copy of the transmitter firmware currently in use to the computer.

Re: Firmware not loading to Taranis ?
The settings looks to have "noHeli" ticked, but the filename for flashing doesn't!

Re: Firmware not loading to Taranis ?
The date I assume it's the release date of that firmware ?
Re: Firmware not loading to Taranis ?
It's the build date. Builds are cached.
Seems you're indeed not taking the right file, or not redownloading after changing the options.

Re: Firmware not loading to Taranis ?
Kilrah can you explain how to download new settings then if they are different to the way I've mentioned above ?
Re: Firmware not loading to Taranis ?
On write to tx Screen select load and see if you can locate the file with noheli (plus other options selected) in the name.

Re: Firmware not loading to Taranis ?
File-Download->Download firmware?
Re: Firmware not loading to Taranis ?
The file is downloaded to pc when it's selected to write to TX it starts to load then at the end the error message appears as the screen shots above ?
Re: Firmware not loading to Taranis ?
We told you to use the SD card method instead, but then you had issues with that too and that's what we're trying to advise about.
Re: Firmware not loading to Taranis ?
Yes either downloading to sd card then writing that to the tx although it shows it loading still shows the thirteen pages when worth no heli it should be twelve.
Re: Firmware not loading to Taranis ?
Can you post a screenshot using file explorer the file name of the file you transfered to the sd card and then used the bootloader menu to write firmware?
Using windows file explorer locate the file in the firmware folder and take a screenshot.

Re: Firmware not loading to Taranis ?
So I'll run through this again with screenshots
1.open companion 2.2.1
2.click on settings tick 'noheli' which should then only give me 12 pages on the tx menu
3.click on download on companion......it downloads to a folder in pc......then asks if you want to download to tx to which I say yes then the progression bar shows loading but right at the end I get the error message ?
I have tried loading the downloaded settings on the pc direct to the tx firmware file after renaming it to under 8 letters but when I go into the firmware file on the tx and load it to the tx again the tx shows the progression bar loads to the end (no error code shows up) however rebooting the tx still shows 13 pages (ie the heli page is still there) rather than no heli page and only 12 pages ?

Re: Firmware not loading to Taranis ?
Why are you not doing what I ask? Showing me the same screen shots again is not helpful.
I am trying to help you.
If you would like me to stop let me know. That's okay:)

Re: Firmware not loading to Taranis ?
Everything you see is what I see the file name is showing screenshot 2,3,4 and 5......
Re: Firmware not loading to Taranis ?
I’m trying to get you to stop using Companion temporary.
Put the firmware file on the sd card.
Write the firmware using bootloader.
Once we know this works then radio is okay.
Try placing the OpenTX firmware file on the sd card
In the folder called FIRMWARE
Power of tx
Pull in horizontal tabs and power on
Select the update firmware option.
The maximum file name length is 32 characters including the dot and extension. If the file name does not display on the screen shorten the length of the file name.

Re: Firmware not loading to Taranis ?
I have sent the settings directly to the Sd card firmware file as mentioned before (and shortened the file to under 8 letters) it doesn't change the page from 13 to 12 as it should ?
Re: Firmware not loading to Taranis ?
Are you sure the original file name had noheli? Please try again by doing a fresh download.
Also the number of pages depends on two options.
Noheli will reduce by one page.
Lua will increase by one page.
If you select both you still end up with the same number of pages.
Lua option is not needed to run lua scripts. It is needed to configure a lua mixer script which are rare.
