Boot Load Firmware Issue and Unable to update it

Post by bryandiaz0898 »

Hello,

I just purchased my Hondata FlashPro. I tried installing it and making sure all the checks were green in the FlashPro Window.

I am getting only one issue and that is the firmware. It has a warning sign and per the instructions, I am supposed to have all green checks. I
am running the latest Hondata FlashPro Manager Software (3.9.3.0).

I read in other posts that there may be an issue with USB3 (which is all the new modern laptops have). I also read that to unplug + plug the USB cable from the laptop several times would do the trick. But NO.

Then in the Quick Guide, I read that you can update the Boot Firmware, and since my issue says "Bootloader Checksum: 0x6E5CE512". I also see that the Bootloader version is 1. Hence I though perhaps the Boot Firmware needs to be updated. The guide actually says you can go to the Help Menu and click on "Update FlashPro Boot Firmware" . So I tried it, but it keeps just failing. It says to try again, but even after multiple tries, it does not update anything.

Then I thought perhaps it's my laptop (gaming laptop with 32GB of Ram and all USB3 and USBC ports) perhaps is too new. So I tried in other "elderly" laptops which have USB2. But they are all giving me the same issue "Failed. Please try again before un-plugging the FlashPro"

If someone has experiences this , please let me know how I can possible fix this. Else please suggest how to contact Hondata to see if I can get a replacement (maybe its the FlashPro Issue) or troubleshooting steps. I am not able to see anybody else struggling with this.

Thank you so much in advance.

thanks for your response!

So it does not matter that the warning sign is there?

I thought it was a must as I see every “How-to” YouTube Video saying that all should be a green check mark

kindly confirm
