I do have a FrSky Taranis X9D Plus radio that has an internal XJT transmitter and I have tried to update to version 170317 after updated radio's firmware and bootloader to 2.2.0.
I have download the XJT 170317 firmware from https://www.frsky-rc.com/wp-content/upl ... 170317.zip and extracted the file XJT_NONEU_V20_build170317.hex.frk to the FIRMWARE folder on the radios SD Card. Then Flash Internal Module. I first saw a bar going from left to right and then an error (don't remember which). Then I have tried again and now I always get the Firmware update error Module not responding [EXIT] message and I no longer have link with the receiver.
I believed I have the US version since it came with the US power charger, so I have tried the NONEU version of the firmware. I also renamed the firmware file name from XJT_NONEU_V20_build170317.hex.frk to XJT_NONEU_V20_build170317.frk
After this I have tried the EU version and the firmware version before this one, 151223, with no luck.
Is there a way to reprogram the internal XJT module? If I use another Taranis, connect it to this one and Flash External Module can it work, or am I doomed to replace the back PCB of my Taranis?

Re: Taranis Internal XJT Update Failure
I had the same problem with 2 rx's. They are bricked. Now I have problems with a corrupt bootloader of the X9D. I also filed a bugreport but I was rebuffed. I should ask at a forum, use a dua file and replace my sdcard I'm new to drones, the X9D. I wish to know how to debug.
For the sdcard I took a 32 GB which it refuses to read.
I believe the 2.1+ firmware has a bug with mounting, reading the sdcard. Or hardware problems.

Re: Taranis Internal XJT Update Failure
May have a bad SD card, maybe try a different SD card.
SD card must be formatted Fat 32 and not over 32 GB size.
Some more info here: (https://github.com/opentx/opentx/wiki/T ... ia-sd-card).
Looks like FrSky has updated there web-sight, Taranis X9D Plus (XJT) firmwares here: (https://www.frsky-rc.com/taranis-x9d-plus-2/).
Other SD card info: (viewtopic.php?f=94&t=10246&p=129112&hil ... GB#p129072).
If you were to try "erSky9x on Taranis" find here (http://www.er9x.com/) setup the SD card info here: (viewtopic.php?f=35&t=9034#p116984).

Re: Taranis Internal XJT Update Failure
If the bootloader is version 2.1.6 from FrSky it might have a bug when accessing the card through USB, so you want to update that (put the file on the card using another reader).
Re: Taranis Internal XJT Update Failure
Well, it was indeed 2.1.6 when I try to update, but now it is on 2.2.0 and I still can't install any version on the internal module. The problem is how can I recover the internal module after failing the update? I will try using a friend Taranis and program an external module, being the external module my internal module...
Re: Taranis Internal XJT Update Failure
I was answering the post just above mine.
You can try that, if it doesn't work it's replacement time. See with your dealer about warranty.
Re: Taranis Internal XJT Update Failure
Well, I was finally able to try to program the internal module by using an FTDI, with an inverted RXD and TXD and a diode from TX to RX, unfortunately the frisky update sport is unable to find a module to program...
So I suppose there is no other way then replace the backboard, right?
