FBV3 went dead after a failed firmware update


Recommended Posts

Hi,

I tried to update the firmware of FBV3 from 1.00.00 to 1.01.00 using Line 6 Updater. However, Line 6 Updater crashed after around 15 minutes and now FBV does not work anymore. It does not power up at all, neither when connected to Firehawk 1500, nor when connected to my notebook via USB.

Has anyone else witnessed a similar situation? Any advice? Should I return it for servicing?

I have raised a support ticket with Line 6 and am waiting for their response.

 

Best regards.

I just got into this Line 6 world recently with a G10T, FBV3 and a Spider V 120. Hearing that so many are dealing with Line 6 software bricking Line 6 hardware makes me shy away from even thinking about upgrading firmware on any of these devices. Seriously, Line 6 refused to spend $.50 to install a Factory Reset Button on at least the FBV3? They'd rather spend many more $$$ replacing bricked hardware? Shaking my head and truckin' on down the street...

Same issue here... FBV3 dead after a FW update to 1.15... What should I do? You guys ever had or found a solution?

 

Edit: "fixed" by restarting FBV3 n update mode (hold FS1 and A when plugging in the USB cable. The update went through fine.

Same problem after purchasing the device and updating via Line6 Updater - what is afaik in most cases not necessary. This description of a working fix helped me a lot and kept me from returning the FBV3 to my dealer. Alas, the description is hard to find for German users, so I'd like to repeat:

FBV3 zurücksetzen auf Werkseinstellung (FBV3 reset to factory defaults): press FS1 and A simultaneously, then connect USB-Cable. Device will display "In Update Mode", the update itself will complete within less than a minute.

Bonjour à tous,

 

j'ai acheté un Line 6 FBV 3 il y a maintenant quelques semaines d'occasions, celui-ci a l'air de fonctionner puisque l'écran s'allume quand je le branche. Mais mon problème est que même avec les avis je n'arrive pas à faire réagir le pédalier quelque soit la manière, l'écran me laisse tjrs le même visuel : "Fbv 3 v1.00.00", ce qui est très agaçant. Je viens tout juste de réussir à le faire réagir grâce à vos messages en le faisant changer sur "Update Mode" ça ne résout pas vraiment mon problème, bien que ça me soulage de l'idée qu'il puisse être cassé...

Quelqu'un peut m'aider, ne sachant pas quel est le problème, je pense qu'il faudra que je le réinitialise pour le configurer, mais comment ?

 

Merci d'avance !!
