I upgraded my software to 7.5.5 build 73 and 8.1.2 build 43. I also have boot 2.05.04 and firmware 2.05.21. Explorer locks up. I'm guessing that I have something wrong in the v2 like bootblock or firmware. Does anyone know how I can recover from this?

Hi Dave,

The bootblock and firmware combinations you have are not compatible. On page 10 of the Upgrading FlashScan.rtf it details that you need reprogram firmware V2.05.14 to recover your FlashScan device. There is also a nice table detailing what bootblock and firmware is compatible at each stage through our development journey.

Once you've done that you can upgrade your bootblock to V2.05.08 and then the latest firmware.

Cheers
Cindy

Cindy,
Thanks for the help. I finally got it with help from you and Guy. I now have bootblock 2.06.02 and firmware 2.06.04 and it seems to be working!
And I thought that going to the dentist was bad!

I'm glad you got it sorted. The V8 software upgrades and BBL are essential to the development of our product. Unfortuantely development presents many things in a far from ideal format......the evolutionary upgrade process is one of them :(

Cheers
Cindy
