Win8 Can't Find /dfu-util

Post by tiiams »

I got my Taranis a few days ago from IH in china I could read and load eprom but not the firmware came up with a error.:

Started DFU Util

C:/Program Files (x86)/companion9x/dfu-util.exe -a 0 --dfuse-address 0x08000000 -d 0483:df11 -DC:/taranis/downloaded firmware/opentx-taranis-en1.bi­n

dfu-util 0.7

Filter on vendor = 0x0483 product = 0xdf11

No DFU capable USB device found

DFU Util done - exit code 1

The solution :
1.install zadig_xp.exe but don't run it yet.
2.go to settings
3.then pc settings
4.then general tab
5.then Advance start up
6.the machine will restart
7.then on your primary screen if you have more than one you get a list of options I think it is #7 disable Microsoft certified signature
8.Your machine will restart ,
9.then run Zadig and install the new driver on the drop down list on the lower right.
10.then start companion 9x and try to read your firmware ( remember tx must be off then plug in the usb).

I had a similar problem with eepe when I went to windows 8 that was with the ushasp driver installed it in the same manor.

please feel free to make corrections to my post I won't take it personally I was up till 2am figuring this out. before I got it to work.
