Dsp Boot Fail After Downloaindg Updates Hd400

Hi, I had the same problem when I tried to download the latest firmware for my pod HD300. I first tried downloading it from my laptop running windows 8 a number of times, but each time it failed, leaving me with dsp boot fail. I then tried using a laptop running windows 7, but the same thing happened. I called line6, but they were no help. They said it was most likely a fault with the pod, but it was working fine until I tried downloading their software! I wasn't satisfied with this, so I thought I'd try one more go. This time I tried it on my old desktop running windows XP. It worked!!! BUT it did wipe ALL the presests from my pod! I could do a factory reset, but I'm afraid to, just in case I have to reload the firmware and have the same problems again! I don't mind putting in new sounds because I hadn't any patches created before the download fiasco, and I didn't like the line6 presets  anyway, but if you had a lot of good sounds put in, your'll most likely loose them. I sent a ticket to line6 about this, but their answer was, better get the pod checked out anyway, nothing about the download problem. I hope this works for you. let me know how you get on.

Apparantly it seems that it has to do with either USB hub or drivers.  I tried another computer and it worked.  I did the factory reset and I got back the presets without any problems.  The POD stayed up to date according to the last updates.

 

Good luck.

I downloaded all of the updates on my HD400.  When installing the flash memory updates, the screen on the HD never stopped displaying, "downloading".  Now, even after trying to restore factory presets, all I get is the Dsp boot fail message.  I want my money back.

The best you can do is revert back to the version it came with. Updates seem to only work with iOS apple mac. PC users need some specific machine to do it and Line6 isn't interested in a fix.

you have absolutely no idea what you are talking about. for example... you cannot in any way shape or form use iOS to interface with the pod HD's...

 

try holding the A button down when you plug it in (or maybe it was the D button?)

should go into a safe or test mode, from there reflash it.

You just told him how to reset the pod.

That's good but he's already at "boot fail".

That will only work if you have a working version installed on the pod. He needs to go back to monkey and revert to the original version so that he can at least get the pod to play something.

Now go flame someone else "Professor".

No Politness given, no politness returned. I'm not having it.

On further note, resetting the pod didn't work for my pod400. I tried the update process three times to no avail and had to restore the original version each time. I'm currently on the original version waiting to hear of a good fix or for boss or digitech to make a unit I like.

I'm wishing you all the best for getting updated. If a fix works for you that doesn't involve finding an outdated PC or buying a new mac, please post it so we all can benefit.

yes, even the resident grump believes that you can regain use by flashing to the previous version.

i'd say there is a good chance you can regain use of the device.

 

Ok i will try all the possibilities just to boot this thing up. but my question is if there is a chances that i can bring it back for booting?
