nokeagle Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 Hey there! I just received my new Pod Hd500x here in Germany, unpacked it and installed it on my pc. I had absolutly no problem with it, i even updated the flashmemory to 1.10 . After that i played around 2 hours and created my first soundbanks with the POD HD500X Edit Software. After my 14. sound saved on slot (custom1) 4b i created another one based on an earlier profile. I added 3 synthy effects. Than the software crashed and told me to restart my Pod and than restart my software. So i did... Now my Pod is an infinite booting loop. I only see the Line 6 logo and than its reseting himself and i see the Line 6 logo again. I tried it several time to restart. I also waited 30 minutes to the next start - but its still occuring. Monkey also doesnt finds it anymore. I am quite dissapointed - absolut new hardware, brand new. What a good start for a new Hardware - i like it.... And this right before the weekend... great... Does anyone else have made the same experience? Greetings from Germany! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phil_m Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 When you did the firmware update, did you do the global settings reset? If not, that is most likely the root of your problem. You can still try to do it as described here: http://line6.com/support/docs/DOC-2222 If the global reset doesn't work can try a safe mode reset. Hold down the left down key on the directional keypad and power up the pod. Connect the USB cable and use Line 6 Monkey to flash-update the firmware on the POD. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djspleen Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 That happened to my first one too. I ended up returning it, but the second one works fine! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nokeagle Posted August 2, 2013 Author Share Posted August 2, 2013 seems to be working. I did the global reset with reflashing the Software and it works. I then did the global reset again and calibrated the pedals. I´ll keep on testing and inform you, when i have some news. Thanks for your help!

GS_Chimaera Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 I had a very similar problem with my first, brand new one: the first thing I did just after having brought it home from the shop was installing the drivers and updating everything via Line6 Monkey. All seemed to work well at first, but Line6 HD500X Edit refused to communicate with the Pod ("error number XXXXXX: timeout" or something like that). Then I tried to restart the HD500X Edit software, turn off - turn back on the Pod, but it went into the infinite booting loop with the Line6 logo that Nokeagle described in his original post. Then I tried Phil M's solution (thank you mate!): "Hold down the left down key on the directional keypad and power up the Pod". This worked perfectly! Now the Pod seems to boot up and communicate correctly with HD500X Edit. Thanks again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
