Ommand Posted March 20, 2014 Report Posted March 20, 2014 So I finally got things straightened out with logitech and thought I was finally in a position to actually use my flirc... seems I was wrong. I went to map my keys today but nothing was taking, so I tried a firmware update. When I hit "force fw upgrade" in the advanced page in the configuration tool it reports that my current firmware version is -16,-16 and that the latest is 2.3. I push "yes" to complete the upgrade, it appears to start and then it hangs. And hangs. And hangs. I've repeated the process no less than a dozen times and have even tried rebooting (windows 8 x64). The device is detected correctly in device manager so I don't imagine drivers are an issue. Any advice? Quote
MrNice Posted March 20, 2014 Report Posted March 20, 2014 Just an idea: I don't know with windows but do you run it with admin rights? Quote
Ommand Posted March 21, 2014 Author Report Posted March 21, 2014 Nope that didn't have any effect. Do the developers read these forums? Quote
jason Posted March 21, 2014 Report Posted March 21, 2014 Try this: https://flirc.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/200712548-Using-the-ZADIG-Utility ** EDIT ** you have an old driver, the installer doesn't do a good job of replacing the old driver, and I don't know why. Following the instructions, you'll force the update of the driver, and everything should be good. The -16.-16 is because that request to the device doesn't work because the old winusb driver is restricting commands. Quote
Ommand Posted March 21, 2014 Author Report Posted March 21, 2014 Followed those instructions, started with winusb 3.0.6.0 and now have libusbk 3.0.6.0. Still hangs while trying to update firmware. Quote
jason Posted March 21, 2014 Report Posted March 21, 2014 How about trying to install the libusb driver? Quote
Ommand Posted March 21, 2014 Author Report Posted March 21, 2014 libusb-win32 doesn't seem to detect the device. Quote
Ommand Posted March 21, 2014 Author Report Posted March 21, 2014 After a dozen or so attempts with libusbk it finally worked. Quote
jason Posted March 21, 2014 Report Posted March 21, 2014 Glad it finally worked, not sure why it took so many attempts but it shouldn't be an issue any more. Sorry for the trouble. Quote
