Flipper dies during Firmware update (28JUL22)

Firmware update / qFlipper
#1

I want to update the firmware in my Flipper zero via Windows 11.
I have a correct (latest to this day) driver application.
USB cable directly connected to PC (no hubs).
Fast microSD card is in.

Please help.
These are my first few minutes with Flipper. I don’t want to let it die.

UPDATE!!! I tried another computer with Windows 10, and it worked like a charm.
Thank you all for your tips&tricks.
Great to have such a strong community here.

At the risk of an over-obvious suggestion, have you tried using an alternate SD card?

#3

Are you using any hubs or adapters? They are known sources of issues with DFU

tried more cards, no luck with any :frowning:

no, it’s connected directly to Motherboard USB output

Oh, OK

Can you attach the log txt file here?

First things first, you can try doing it on a different computer. Unfortunately, the hardware is very diverse and there are always some incompatibilities.
As another trick you may try the following:

  1. Press “Repair” as usual
  2. When the program will say “Downloading option bytes” unplug the USB cable and plug it back in right away.
