366 to 366T firmware update disaster - dead 366 needs help!

Riley Casey

I attempted to load the V2.06 firmware update in to a 366 that is or rather was at a version 1.xx something level. I inadvertantly but successfully reloaded the version 1 firmware on the first attempt so the cabling & hardware seem to be in order. While installing the version 2 firmware the installer application threw up a dialog box that said something along the lines of \" Correct file not found - error 8 \". When attempting to reload the firmware I get only \" device not found - check cables \" responses in the progress window of the firmware loading application. The window of the 366 says only that \" upload failed - reload \" or something to that effect.

This is all running on a computer that has a serial port built in with a cable that successfully archived the programs from the 366 via Soundbench only moments before this firmware misadventure began. What can I do to get this 366 working again promptly?

Riley's issue was solved by placing the device into bootloader mode. In this mode, the hardware is auto-set to receive new firmware regardless of the condition of the current firmware. To set the device in this mode, power the device on while holding down the Mute4 and Recall buttons.

The current firmware is available here. http://www.bssaudio.com/product_downloads/Software_Firmware/366/fds366tv206.zip
