Hi All,

I have my Taranis 9D updated to 2.1.7, and I am trying to update to 2.2.x I downloaded Companion 2.2.0N371 for Windows and it installed correctly, and I can connect it to my radio, I have updated the Settings in Companion, but when I try to Download the new F/W I get the following error: "Unable to check for updates", so I'm stuck.

I wanted to upgrade to 2.2 as the manual for the S6R RX recommended that level, but if I don't try to send the RX a .lua file then I should be able to use the 2.1.7 or 2.1.9 F/W just fine.

But I'd like to get Companion 2.2.0 functional so does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks for your time.

Read the the page you downloaded 2.2 from.

Bill, did you find an answer for this?
Kilrah, I did read the page but there was no mention of this issue.
I too am unable to proceed with my move from 2.1 to 2.2 due to this issue.
Any suggestions welcomed

You need to check “Use OpenTX firmware nightly builds” in companion settings to be able to download firmware, and “Use companion nightly builds” to be notified of further companion release candidate updates.

This fixed the problem for me! Thanks!

I have opentx companion 2.1.9 and have the same error
"unable to check for updates"

I do not have a check box under settings/application for "nightly builds"

how to I fix this

Wait until the server is fixed.

thanks its working now

Another problem, today I cannot communicate with X9DP (did communicate yesterday)
have 2.1.9 FW and Bootloader
when I USB TX, no power, I get STM32 Bootloader in device manager, cannot communicate with radio and opentx companion 2.1.9
when USB TX after 3 finger ON, I get Frsky Taranis Bootloader in device manager, cannot communicate with radio and companion
in both cases says cannot find radio, do three finger ON (which doesn't help)

I have never been able to USB X9DP and computer (no TX power) and get the drives to show (Taranis/firmware)

any thoughts

UPDATE, I can upload the FW from the radio, no TX power, USB,
cannot Backup radio to file, cannot read models and settings

gesh, finally back in business. Had to uninstall "Taranis Frysky Bootloader" with zadig
Everything works (for now (G))
