March 20, 201412 yr comment_6556 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? Report
March 20, 201412 yr comment_6557 Just an idea: I don't know with windows but do you run it with admin rights? Report
March 21, 201412 yr Author comment_6559 Nope that didn't have any effect. Do the developers read these forums? Report
March 21, 201412 yr comment_6560 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. Report
March 21, 201412 yr Author comment_6561 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. Report
March 21, 201412 yr Author comment_6564 After a dozen or so attempts with libusbk it finally worked. Report
March 21, 201412 yr comment_6566 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. Report
