During download/install of Helix ver 2.92, (from ver 2.71) the process almost completed, but then failed, and now I cannot get the Helix to work at all. The install proceeded as expected, was almost done, but during the "Rebuilding Presets" portion, the unit whizzed through but stopped on Preset 411. I waited for a very long time - 5-10 minutes?- and it never completed. So I turned the Helix off, and back on. It appears to start loading back up, normally, gets to the end of the boot but then displays "Rebuilding Preset 411" on the Helix screen, and does nothing more. HX Edit does not recognize the connected device (yes, the USB cable is plugged in as it should be). So, it appears it is basically locked up and cannot be accessed, at least, not through HX Edit or the Helix unit itself. HELP?! is there a big ol' system reset capability somewhere/somehow?

In HX Edit, go to File>Restore from Backup.

SO I did an update, went fine. Followed directions to a "T".  Imported backup, started going through presets, 1/2 are there but I cant see anything.  I click on first preset, works.  Click on second preset, changes tone but still has all the same info from first preset on screen.  Lost all my IRs.  AM I doing something wrong?

You don’t mention if your unit went through the “rebuilding presets” process- if not you could try a factory reset.

Try FS 10 & 11 first.

Also, please ensure that you version of HX Edit and the firmware revision numbers are the same, as it is not unknown for an old version of the editor to launch instead of the latest.

Here ya go!
