grant Posted December 30, 2014 Report Share Posted December 30, 2014 Hi, I got my Flirc receivers earlier today. I downloaded the setup online and went through the process of setting up the remote control. The receivers had firmware v2.3 on it. I initially tried setting it up with my toshiba tv remote (ct90256), but then i realized that would also send some of those commands to the tv and could cause problems. I then decided to use my verizon fios remote for it. Set everything up and it worked like a charm. I saved the configuration, then I moved the remote/receiver pair to a different computer, plugged it in without downloading anything and it worked perfectly. I started setting up the other one, but before i started, i decided to upgrade the firmware to 3.3 using the "force firmware update" in the advanced menu. After the update, i loaded the configs, but it did nothing. So i erased and tried programming it manually. It worked, but extremely intermittently. I brought the already working/programmed one down and updated the firmware then tried programming it again. Now it was extremely intermittent. I also tried the toshiba remote that was working flawlessly and now that one also has a problem. The only buttons that seemed to work properly were the volume +/- button on the fios remote. It seems like others have had That is where I am now. 3 questions: 1. Can i get firmware 2.3 and downgrade 2. Is a fix for this in progress or am i just best off sticking with 2.3? 3. Does the "force firmware update" also change the windows program in any way? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grant Posted December 30, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 30, 2014 A downgrade will be most beneficial right now, because I am setting this up for my parents (who really aren't techies), and leaving tomorrow, so if i cant get it working before then, its going in the box and back to the store.

Chris! Posted December 31, 2014 Report Share Posted December 31, 2014 I would stick to the latest stable firmware. To get 2.3 install the latest build from www.flirc.tv/downloads and force upgrade from there - it should downgrade it (I don't have a flirc on me yo check right now) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris! Posted January 1, 2015 Report Share Posted January 1, 2015 Oops, my bad. I read the wrong firmware number. We don't keep an older firmware archive as Jason tries to fix things. Unfortunately I don't have any more answers to your questions - sorry. Hopefully someone more knowledgable will chime in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grant Posted January 1, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 1, 2015 :(. anyone know how to get the firmware version 2.3 (or still has the GUI which forces the 2.3 install)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jason Posted January 11, 2015 Report Share Posted January 11, 2015 :(. anyone know how to get the firmware version 2.3 (or still has the GUI which forces the 2.3 install)? Hey guys, this is fixed. Download the latest GUI and upgrade to the latest firmware image. Sorry this took long, a nice user sent me a verizon remote and I got this worked out pretty quick short after. Get GUI version 1.3.4. Make sure you're on version firmware 3.5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
