I have tried other USB ports, I was gonna try to do a default reset. This is very frustrating. Have there been any issues with the current firmware?

I have the newest version of monkey...

Thanks for your response

Those aren't my screen shots, I have the newest version of monkey.

This is a message that I put in my Ticket...  sorry for english .. I use translators ..  Let me improve the text:  First to remember, this problem has occurred since I update the last  firmware version POD X3 Live: Version 2.01.0 - as soon as he left, I updated.  During the firmware update did not show any error messages and everything went normally. The POD X3 Live works perfectly to play live.  Now I have problem in communication:  - With GearBox, to get/set patches ... that error message appears(below). - In Variax Workbench appears the same message. - And in Line6 Monkey appears in the upper left corner of the POD ID (ESN),  however, can not detect "Flash Memory" from POD and in POD appears  "USB Firmware Version 0.00". - If I try to update the firmware (the Monkey) without overriding my tones or  use Gearbox (when trying to load tones from POD X3 Live) the following message appears:       "Tone Transfer Failed. Reason: (Code 8000900C) MIDI device timed out waiting for a       response."  - The message changes when I try to update the firmware and override the POD tones that are       in the same error occurs only changes the code:       "POD X3 Live update failed (Code 80007211) Firmware update timed out waiting        for response from the device.        Try the update again, making sure the cables are still connected."    I have tested the three startup modes: - First, pressing the down button (safe mode) - Second, pressing the button to the right (test mode) - And the normal mode - without pressing. In both modes the windows detects the device the POD  (A message from the Windows "Hardware Detected - POD X3 Live").    I am an experienced user with the POD and use for more than 8 years -  I had a POD XT that can`t boot and communicate through the USB cable  and restored by cables USB / MIDI in safe mode.  ->  Remembering again I have tested with high quality USB cables  (Used in Ultrasound devices - I've always used it and it worked perfectly)  and tested it on several computers and diverses  Operating Systems (32bit Win7, Win7 64-bit and Win XP) and on different computers..  and different USB ports. And the message is the same ... -> Have reinstalled an OS only to reinstall all drivers and applications updated to try to communicate(And not used Virtual Machines)...  but continues with the same message. -> Already reseted patches in POD X3 Live to the factory default.  But they just lost my patches... -> Remembering also that the POD X3 to operate normally to play live. Only  the communication with the applications configuration and management of line6  devices.. which is impossible. (I really need this communication -  because I have the Variax and also use the POD as interface to configure,  and have the backup of my old patches to restore)  This is the first time that I can't make anything, and I'm sure there  is need one alternative update for POD X3 Live. Or even a software  adapted to this situation or one update that use use the MIDI communication  from POD, because via USB is impossible.  ...
