  In Midiox 7.0.2 go to Actions - Send - Sysex File
  (Do Not Select File - Click Cancel on the file select window)
  Sysex View and Scratch Pad will be open.
  in Sysex View and Scratch Pad click on Sysex
  select Configure, a window will open - find Output Timing
  and Check the box for Auto-adjust Buffer Delays if Necessary.
  Click OK. in Sysex View and Scratch Pad click File - then Send Sysex file
  find the file you want to send and let 'er rip!!

Alot of other people are having issues with the update too. Here are some other threads that are covering the same issue. You may find a solution in one of them.

    We give suggestions on what to use. That is all we can do. The update works perfectly from our side. There is such a variety of computers, interfaces, and sysex programs, we cannot figure out what is going on with each set up. It isn't on us if it doesn't work.
    
    I do not mean this to seem cold, it is really not cold. But even my PC at work with the reccomended cable and program, I cannot get it to receive a midi dump back up and that is with our resident firmware midi genius helping me. It just doesn't work so I have to have someone else back up scenes when an artist comes by. My understanding is with you though, when a guy is frustrated trying to update it bums me out. It is like giving my son a present and he can't open it.
    
    Keep up the search. Go to a friends with your cable and try it on their computer. That is what a guy in Argentina had to do ultimately.

        Hmm... Sounds like you may need to reinstall the driver for the USB/MIDI cable. Or try plugging it in to a different USB port. Or maybe the cable itself went bad. I don't know, just trying to think of anything else you can try. You say that you're trying your laptop, is that the second computer that you've tried it on? Any other MIDI interfaces you could try?

Re: Download Fail - 0x02 Format error - Please Help!

using Macbook, Sysex Librarian, Prefs as follow:

Pause between played messages = 250ms

SysEx receive Timeout = 1 sec

Transmit Speeds = 100%

and all is good so far, about 75% complete right now.

Note that back when ver 1.07 was released, I too had this annoying Error message that others here now have. By setting the Pause slider to 250ms cured my headache.

Re: Download Fail - 0x02 Format error - Please Help!

hi paultm... i finally got mine to work by disconnecting the midi out from the m13, and just keeping the midi in connected as i patched... i was kind of scared at first but i didn't think that the m13 needed to send anything back to the computer anyway. when it was done i plugged the midi out back in and everything worked as normal. hope this works for you if you try it!

Re: Download Fail - 0x02 Format error - Please Help!

Hey everyone

I had the same problem.
I think it's very important to use a real USB MIDI interface. It was not working for me (any setting) using a firewire MIDI interface.
When I installed my old MAudio Uno, voilá! Smooth as a cream!

Hope it helps, for those who are desperate to get the new 2.0 tones and improvements.

Cheers from Rio

  I tried for hours with firewire, but is didnt work. In the end used an old midiman USB midisport 4x4 and tried and didnt work. Disconnected midi out on the M13 and finally it worked.
  
  I think I used no longer pauze, just plain 60msec.
  
  Dont give up, just keep trying with other gear and use a USB midi device.
  
  Transfered through MIDI OX. http://www.midiox.com/
  
  Follow instructions carefully.
  
  Goodluck, mine is 2.01 proof now:-)
