Matt_Brown Posted October 16, 2016 Share Posted October 16, 2016 What message and how are you connecting the JTV. Have re remembered to put a 1/4 jack in as well as the Ethernet to power the guitar? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
datacommando Posted October 16, 2016 Share Posted October 16, 2016 2 day now.....Tried and tried ...several pcs....all Win Xp thru win8 .....same message or I get kicked to the new spider amp page and cant get out. Really? Just a suggestion. It may be a glitch over your internet connection. How about downloading the JTV Flash Memory to your Windoze machine, then use Line 6 Monkey app to do the update with the local file. Worth a shot, unless I misunderstood your post.

barkeywayne Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 sidsimo, did you have any luck with this? I am having the same issues as you from your thread opener post. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psarkissian Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 "Have re remembered to put a 1/4 jack in as well as the Ethernet to power the guitar?"--- With the JTV battery in it to keep USB line from sagging during a download. "How about downloading the JTV Flash Memory to your Windoze machine, then use Line 6 Monkey app to do the update with the local file"--- Yes, download to your desktop and update from there. I do that all the time myself. Use the VDI Interface Device, don't use any USB hubs, don't go thru effect units,... it wants a straight path.

sidsimo Posted October 18, 2016 Author Share Posted October 18, 2016 sidsimo, did you have any luck with this? I am having the same issues as you from your thread opener post. Yes I got through to L6 support. they claimed to have had server issues. I was able to D/L all versions locally to a Win7 PC. Also I can flash with Monkey now. So hopefully it's in the past. I am unable to see JTV Flash Mem. through Monkey v. 1.72. Also, One of the JTVs my oldest and dearest ....is not completing the Flashing process. Currentlyion the 4th try. Some kind of I/O error. I hope it's not bricked Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidsimo Posted October 18, 2016 Author Share Posted October 18, 2016 Ah well....follow up My oldest JTV59 will flash to 1.70, but any other version causes I/O errors.... Probably needs to go to another topic. But wtf.....I have 5 JTVs......it's crazy trying to get these things flashed. I prefer V.1.90, but am not able to do this on any of the guitars. This is nuts.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barkeywayne Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 Thanks for the follow up sidsimo. I was finally able to roll back the fw in my 59 last night, dld the file to my PC and went that route. Btw, I went back from 2.21 to 1.90, huge improvement in the Spank and Chime models IMO.

psarkissian Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 "... got through to L6 support. they claimed to have had server issues"--- Yes, IT department was doing some work over the weekend. Sorry if it caused any problems. sidsimo,... the 59,... log a ticket in your account. They will come to me and I will make a recommendation to the custom support people. Roll-backs or updates are do'able with JTV's. I can deal with it. barkeywayne,... yeah, it's a matter of taste. I'm more of a Gibson than Fender kind of guy, so v2.21 is good for me. v1.90 or v2.21 for Chime,... either is fine, but then I have a '66 Ricki 370-12 (custom rebuild I did back in 1979), so I have something to compare to it with. 2.21 is fine, but yeah, v1.90 has a good Chime model,... I like 'em both. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidsimo Posted October 18, 2016 Author Share Posted October 18, 2016 UPDATE.......... I recently stated that I couldn't flash my oldest JTV59.....I did manage to get 1.70 successfully reinstaled, it seems that that is the only version that will take on this guitar. I'm trying to remember, and I think this has been the case on many other attempts over the years. I think that's why it's still at 1.70. so far I've used the Vax interface, HDPod500x and a Helix. My preference is 1.90..... but that seems not in the cards as yet....

sidsimo Posted October 18, 2016 Author Share Posted October 18, 2016 I'm on a Vista Pc at this moment and looking at the download page...I do not see JTV Flash V.1.90......anyone else? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psarkissian Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 Vista has been something of a pain in general to everyone regarding everything. I don't know anyone who actually likes it. Just a few who tolerated it til they got something else. Odd,... Vista shows up in my downloads page pull-down menu. Strange. As far as your typing goes, I know what you mean,... I used to crew for the band Iron Butterfly during the mid to late 70's. Was a tea tootler then too, even though some of my pals weren't. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
