I have a new x-lite updating firmware unknown error!

[jdawson]

It says it can't write the firmware.bin file unknown error.

It came with firmware 2.2.2 dated 2018-05-27. I was going to put the final release on it but i get this error.
I updated the boot loader but i get the same error on windows and mac. And I set the companion app to know that i am on a x-lite.


No doubt it is a stupid setting I am not aware of. Every time I ask a question here someone points out a silly mistake I made but I am always thankful for the help.

Merry Xmas and Happy New Year to all.

Thanks,

Joe

Really NO ONE has any suggestions?

Show the actual error with a screenshot?

[jdawson]

In the process to do the screen capture I just tried to do the firmware update with the power off on then x-lite!
Unlike my old radio it looks like you do firmware updates on the x-lite with the radio OFF!

So it worked... The error I was getting only happens I guess if you try to do a firmeare upgrade while the radio is on.

Lesson learned!

[Kilrah]

Both should work, but good you moved forward.

Did you get the X-Lite running in bootloader mode when you were trying to update in "power on" mode?

No I didn't know how to put it in bootloader until today. So that was also my issue.

What is stock/deFault firmware on the x9 lite, and where is there instructions for updating.
