Flashing X4R with the Mac

Post by Soarer66 »

Hi guys, I recently bought a second hand X9D with ver 2.2 firmware installed (EU) it came with an X8R Rx which binds no problem. However I have bought two new X4Rs both labelled EU LBT and neither of them will bind. I get both LEDs on constantly which I understand means a firmware mismatch?
My question is: how can I flash the firmware on them? Will the FrSky STK module work with Mac OSX and what version of firmware do I need to make them work. Obviously I am way out of my depth here and any guidance will be gratefully received.
Cheers
Keith
PS. I have the latest version of Companion installed on my Mac if that is of any relevance?

FrSky's tools are Windows only but you can flash receivers using the radio, lots of guides around about that.
