IR Toy stuck in bootloader mode

Hi all.

My IR Toy v2 stuck on bootloader mode. The LED keeps lights on. 
I had tried to run "update-USBIRToy.v22.bat" on both WIndows XP and WIndows 7. I entered the correct COM Port number.  But it return the same result as below:

Enter Com Port Number 3
Could not open com port.
Once the device has entered boot l
Press any key to continue . . .
U2IO flash erasing: FAILED.
Device is not found.
Operation aborted.
Press any key to continue . . .

I had also tried using jumper to short PGD and PGC pins, it gives the same result as above.  Could you please guide me on this? Your generous help would highly appreciated.  Thanks in advance.

Hi mone
is your refered project the android library (it looks exactly like my example)?
you can record such strings via the perl script form the provided package and then convert the binary file to hex string with the bin2hex.exe found in this thread.

Hi,  Manitu

I actually use your code and I am so appreciate about your sharing.

I will try your suggestion, thank you very much.

PS. but because I have many lirc format code, so I want to use them as possible. haha
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I tried you suggestion, but I can not run the perl script, so I use the "IRToyRecPlay" in USBIRToy.package.v22 to record and play the code.

But the recorded code has no effect.

Last time I looked the IR TOY firmware did not exist in the SVN and what I clearly stated was a forked version (at best partially tested) has been promoted up the chain to be official release.
