okutu Posted April 16, 2014 Report Share Posted April 16, 2014 Hi, I have been having a couple of problems with my flirc so thought I would do a firmware update to see if it would fix it. I installed the latest version of the the software (1.2.3) and noticed that the firmware at the bottom left states rmware v-16.-1. The software does not try to update firmware automatically when started and when I force the update via advanced->Force FW Upgrade it states that the firmware is -16.-16. When the firmware update starts the program says Firmware being upgraded, please wait... and then the program stops responding and no matter how long i leave it nothing happens. Any ideas of what I can do? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drayn Posted April 27, 2014 Report Share Posted April 27, 2014 I'm having the exact same problem. did you get it fixed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
okutu Posted April 27, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2014 Nope not at all yet, still looking for a solution if you find one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drayn Posted April 27, 2014 Report Share Posted April 27, 2014 (edited) Nope not at all yet, still looking for a solution if you find one. actually here's what worked for me. It seems that if I installed the flirc software and dongle on a different pc all together it worked. The flic GUI was able to identify the correct firmware and allowed me to program the keys Edited April 27, 2014 by drayn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ptr727 Posted May 12, 2014 Report Share Posted May 12, 2014 I've encountered this from time to time, even with fully up to date flircs. I found that after a "flir_util.exe format" I can again program the firmware. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jason Posted May 13, 2014 Report Share Posted May 13, 2014 It's basically the driver on windows. You probably had an old GUI, and the new driver couldn't be loaded older the old one. Use zadig: https://flirc.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/200712548-Using-the-ZADIG-Utility Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
essential Posted June 12, 2014 Report Share Posted June 12, 2014 This is happening to me. I'm using Flirc 1.2.6 ... as soon as I "force firmware" the program immediately goes to "Not Responding" and I have to manually close it (even if I let it sit hours). I have tried the zadig utility as well to update the drive, same issue after driver update. As there any other ways to update the firmware, I'm trying to get the Harmony profile working and I think I can only get that with this beta.
