Hello!
I just managed to get my hands on a pre-owned Pod XT Live.
It is working fine and already up to the latest firmware version, but the previous owner overwrote all the presets, so I'd been wanting to reinstall the firmware in order to recover the factory tones.
However, nothing I've tried works. I have installed the 4.2.7.7 drivers, downloaded Monkey 1.77, Line 6 Edit, and even Gearbox.
Output to a DAW works wonderfully, Line 6 Edit works (I managed to backup the current tones), and Gearbox works too.
Line 6 Monkey is the one that refuses to "see" the device, even when importing the settings file provided elsewhere in this site.
I've tried every combination of USB port in my PC, USB controller, driver version, I even tried to do it through a Win 8.1 virtual machine, to no avail. I also tried some startup button combinations suggested by google searches, but nothing works.
Has anyone had any success in doing this? Or alternatively, does anybody have a backup of the PodXT Live default banks?
