Same unit HD500 on the last 2 flash updates the same problem. Save either a bundle or setlist file, acts like it is OK, try to reopen it and nothing.

Has done this from when I first got the unit and through the updates. Even a new preset formed on the lasy flash update,. same thing. The saved files are empty of any data.

Seriously did not help. Saving a bundle or preset file into the folders inside the HD tone locations still will not reopen. File error all data is lost and empty.

I mean come on, anyone seeing this????

Please read this, I know what is wrong....

I have the same problem with file saves and a ticket they have not responded. Not sure they have a clue concerning the cause. I worked by myself to try and solve it.

There is a "Bundle" and a "Preset" save error problem. If you save the file into the proper bundle or preset folder all seems to be fine BUT when you try and reload the file "data corruption error" and all presets lost and changed to "new tone". Your data is NOT lost!! Please read the following on how to get around the bug.

Been there and done that, still no reponse from Line 6, I can only assume it is a major software flaw someone would like to ignore or perhaps hope the teenagers will never use the feature to find it does not work.

UPSIDE;

Your files are still intact, do not delete them! IT IS NOT THE POD it is a software problem!!! A new unit will not fix it.

Go find the file outside the editor software and open it, the editor will come up with the presets you saved, you can resend them back into the unit. DO NOT open the editor first and try and load up the 'bundle" or "preset" file IT WILL NOT WORK!

Open the file by locating the POD folder where they are stored, something like  C:user/-name-/documents/line6/hdpod/

A.) To keep the POD from sending all its bad content into the editor, open the editor first before you plug in the USB. It will ask you to bring in the POD data, say NO.

B.) Select the preset file you opened by itself and resend it back into the POD.

C.) File save for presets suffers no problems, be sure and save each preset as you design it into the basic POD directory folder. Whenever I edit a preset I "send" it back into the POD memory.

D.) Make sure you have all your presets saved in the basic folder to resend them back into the POD as each software update will replace everything back to factory.

E.) The Bundle and Preset files are still intact just find them and open them without using the main editor software page. A new editor window will open containing your data.
