Wifi board listed in device manager, update saying "Wifi board not found" using windows 11

Firmware update / qFlipper
#1

Hello!

I’m using latest build of windows 11. I successfully put the wifi board into bootloader mode (I see it in the device mgr). I run the firmware update command and its saying:

PS C:\Users\thoma\flipperzero-firmware> py -m ufbt devboard_flash
scons: Entering directory `C:\Users\thoma.ufbt\current\scripts\ufbt’

fbt: warning: Folder app: manifest application.fam is missing

having the same issue. Without bootlader the python script reads:

device found but not in bootlader mode. when in bootloader it’s not detected at all but shows in device manager with a yellow asterisk. Is there some fix you found? any new drivers requiring installation?

I ran into the same issue, but I’m on a mac m1.
Maybe the fix will be near the same for Windows 11.

M1 Mac
Python 3.9.13

After this step: python3 -m ufbt devboard_flash

I got the error:

fbt: warning: Folder app: manifest application.fam is missing

LoadAppManifest, line 33, in file “/Users/userdir1/.ufbt/current/scripts/fbt_tools/fbt_apps.py”

python3 /Users/userdir1/.ufbt/current/scripts/wifi_board.py

Fixed by:

Finding the GitHub repo: https://github.com/flipperdevices/flipperzero-firmware/blob/dev/applications/drivers/application.fam

and copying the file to my: /Users/userdir1/.ufbt/current/scripts/fbt_tools

Reran: python3 -m ufbt devboard_flash

Got the ‘wifi board flashed successfully’.

Don’t know why the application.fam file didn’t get downloaded orginally, but finding the file repo and putting it in the proper directory seems to have work.

I tried this and still doesnt work :frowning:

At this point I’m running FBT from github not even ufbt so it must be a driver issue imo
