Firmware update fails!
mr_city > 11-30-2024, 04:50 PM
Hi!
Please help me with firmware update of vLinker FS USB.
So I followed this instruction:
https://community.cyanlabs.net/t/updatin...can/5539/2
I downloaded vLinker FS_USB_v2.3.02.zip and installed CDM21228_Setup.exe. Then I installed also CDM212364_Setup.exe from https://ftdichip.com/drivers/vcp-drivers/ (although I am not sure if I needed to because it feels the same as CDM21228_Setup.exe).
And THEN I tried to run vLinkerFwUpdater v3.6.exe from the same zip. I carefully followed instructions (chose vLinker_FS_v2.3.02.txt file) but got the message "**Failed** Please power on the device again!"
WHY???
And do I really need this firmware update? The light is blue and COM port is being recognized by windows.

You can try updating to the latest version to see if it updates properly(11-30-2024, 04:50 PM)mr_city Wrote: Hi!

I suggest reinstalling only CDM21228_Setup.exe, using a USB 2.0 port, and running the firmware updater as administrator after restarting your PC.

You should try reinstalling CDM21228_Setup.exe, connecting the device via USB 2.0 port, and running the firmware updater with administrator rights after restarting the PC. bitlife -

I have this same problem. I am trying to update from firmware 2.3.02 to 2.3.04, however I am not getting a blue light on my adapter, just a brief yellow LED flash when I try to update. I have tried vLinkerFwUpdater v4.0 as well as an older version vLinkerFwUpdater v3.5, however neither version can Read my adapter, or update it with the firmware txt file, and I get an error
:
Port is opened!
Change the baud rate to 2Mbps!
**Failed** Sending error on 109 line!
**Failed** Please power on the device again!
I tried at baud rate 2Mbps but i just get the Failed message. The adapter seems to have partially updated, as I no longer get any Blue light when plugging it into a USB port at all. The only light I now get is a brief yellow LED flash as I try to Read or update the firmware. So it seems something is faulty with either the firmware, the update process/application, or a faulty adapter perhaps? It did previously light up blue when plugged into a windows laptop, so it does seem the firmware update has caused the issue, and I can no longer re-upload the firmware to correct it. -

I fixed mine yesterday and tested it on 2 different Fords. I stumbled upon an older firmware file, 2.2.91 beta 6, in the forum and flashed it to that version. Once that succeeded, I flashed the 2.3.04 version.
I was having the same issues after a failed update that was done through Forscan. This fixed it. I don't know what was on my adapter previously and I was about to write it off as dead when I gave this a try. I've attached the file I used. Maybe it will work for you.
