Title: fw_update failed.
Post by: Smuddy on July 30, 2013, 08:51:54 pm
Hiho,

I just connected my fresh IR Toy v2 and tried to Update the firmware with Windows 8.
At first I tried the Firmware kit with the Firmwarekit: 
USBIRToy.package.v22.zip --> update-USBIRToy.v22.bat
But after reconnecting, the Ir Toy is still listed as an USB PID. I checked the USB-ID and its the the right one (0x04D8&0xFD0B)

So I tried the other way and shorted PGC and PGD and connected it again to USB (still listed as PID in the hardware list with the right ID).
Now I ran the cmd and the firmwareupdater with:
fw_update -e -w -v -m flash -vid 0x04D8 -pid 0xFD0B -ix USBIRToy.v22.hex
The Output is:
U2IO flash erasing: FAILED.
Device is not found.
Operation aborted.

What can I do now?

Greetings,
Smuddy

If anyone else has this problem, don't expect a reply. I have had this problem for the past six months and the OP has for over two years. There is no help. I have bricked two brand new Ir Toys because they get stuck in bootloader and once that happens, Windows does not see them as COM3 anymore, so you cannot connect to them to upgrade them. TOTAL SHIT PRODUCT.
