M9 firmware update

I'm trying to update the firmware on my M9. I get midway through and then there is a crash with an unspecified midi error. This has rendered my M9 unusable which is utterly abysmal. Please send information on how to correct this issue ASAP.

Regards.

Re: M9 firmware update

I recently purchased a M9 and updated it on Vista 64bit without a problem. The Line6 Monkey did it for me. What midi interface are you using? It seems the best one is the M-audio uno usb adapter. Make sure it is a new one though, the older ones will not work on Vista and above. Can you describe your exact process leading up to the crash? I have also updated my M13 several times with no problems and it has to be done manually because it doesn't have Monkey support yet.

 

Good luck,

Jason

Re: M9 firmware update

I made a critical error of buying a $5 midi to USB cable and trying to do the update, seemed like it was working but would never engage the m13 after about 4 tries got frustrated and went out and bought the $40 M Audio cable and it worked like a charm first shot

RE: M9 firmware update

Hello,

 

  Can you please provide me with a little more information? What kind of computer are you running on? Is this error message happening when you try to update via Line 6 Monkey?

 

  Can you tell me exactly what the error message is?

 

  Also, what kind of MIDI interface are you using and have you tried connecting your MIDI interface to other USB ports on your computer?

 

  Have you tried reinstalling the drivers for your MIDI interface? Have you checked to make sure all cables are connected properly?
