I have tried this and still got the same issues. I also borrowed a friends old windows XP pc and used the usb1.1 ports and same issues. I’m tempted to try swapping the usb chip to see if that fixes it otherwise I’ll just have to admit defeat

Thank you for your reply, I tried the oldest version of the HD500x edit software from the downloads section v2.22 and still got the same error, it shows that it starts to transfer the patches but stalls out at 2% and then shows this error I also followed the guide you kindly pasted above and got the same issue: After this dialog displays the POD shows Updating Flash on the screen and stays like that until power cycled. I've tried different USB ports and different cables and proved cables and ports all functioning ok. My last ditch attempt will be to install windows 7 on my laptop, really don't want to have to do this but running out of options.

Pretty much run out of ideas for this one and I’ve searched the forums for an answer and it appears there isn’t one. I have HD500x, it’s on firmware version 1.00 I’ve tried to update it via Line 6 central and via the monkey and I’ve tried every version of firmware available and I cannot get it to load. Everytime my POD goes into updating flash and then I get an error on the pc (win 10) that the update has failed. I also cannot connect via the edit program, it starts to sync the patches and then I get device unreachable error and this frequently causes the POD to restart which causes blue screen of death errors. I’ve troubleshooted the BSOD errors and worked out so long as windows isn’t using the pod for sound and I don’t remove the usb cable before turning the power off it doesn’t blue screen. I’m now wondering if it would be better to try an old windows pc either on win7 or even xp? Or maybe even Avalon windows altogether and see if it will work via a mac? Or is the unit just dead and not upgradable? To be honest I just wanted the edit to work so that I can make patches easier as I’m joining a covers band so need to make a bunch of them. I also bought the metal packs years ago and would be nice to get them working on it but I need to update the firmware for them to work. any help is very much appreciated
