jcnielsendk Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 Hello I attempted a software update of my brand new Pod Go but it bricked it. It will not start up anylonger. I don't think the updater managed to update the Pod Go before the screen went weird and it lost connection. When I start up the Pod Go now, it never gets further than the bean image. What to do?

phil_m Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 Try using different USB cables and/or ports and try running the update again. It should eventually go through. This link has some additional information. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcnielsendk Posted June 23, 2020 Author Share Posted June 23, 2020 Thanks phil_m. I am trying that at the moment. The device is in DXP-NFU mode and I can select 'Pod Go unknown version'. So far no luck installing. Will continue to try. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcnielsendk Posted June 23, 2020 Author Share Posted June 23, 2020 The trick was to use the Line 6 Updater application on a Mac. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hdsavoie Posted June 28, 2020 Share Posted June 28, 2020 I'm having the same issue. I've tried to use the updater on a Mac Book Pro running Catalina v.10.15.5 with no joy. I've started the POD Go in update mode (pressing page > while powering on), I reconnect the usb and start the Line 6 Update software. Updater does not seem to detect the device. i tried this with multiple USB cables. I have opened a ticket with Line 6. I'm waiting on their response. If anyone has insight into this issue, I'd appreciate the help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcnielsendk Posted June 29, 2020 Author Share Posted June 29, 2020 While the Updater app is running on your Mac, try to turn off your Pod Go, then turn it on again while pressing Page. This hopefully make the Updater tool see the device in DXP-NFU mode. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acousticglue Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 Yeah on mine it took 4x locally uploading the firmware before it went through but is fine afterwards and no drops or locking up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevenrb718 Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 I have a POD Go loads into the frozen bean silhouette with no progress upon starting. Went through installing go edit for the drivers, Line 6 updater, starting the POD in update mode with the updater in DXP-NFU, and using multiple computers and USB cables. No matter the combination, the firmware update fails. I get to where the PC says installing firmware update and the POD says updating, but the progress bar never even fills at all and the firmware update failed error always follows.

Time to open a support ticket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevenrb718 Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 Already did that. Attempting to solve the issue without having to send it in for repair. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverhead Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 Is Line 6 Support telling you to send it in for repair? If so, that’s likely what it needs. You seem to have already attempted everything short of that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevenrb718 Posted November 4, 2021 Share Posted November 4, 2021 Yes, they are. I was hoping there was something I could've missed or maybe a self-serviceable part. Apparently not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ade_neto Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 My brand new Pod Go worked for a few hours, but in the next day it got stuck at the boot up, as you can see in picture. The Line 6 Updater detects my Pod, installs the update, tells the installation was succeed but the problem remains the same. Did the same process in three different computers, two PCs and one MacBook with the same results. I'm very frustrated cuz I read a ton of messages saying that eventually it will work after using the Updater, but I did it about 50 times and nothing!

I'd always recommend doing updates through the latest v1.30 Pod Go Edit rather than the separate updater which seems to cause problems for some. Install PGE v1.30, connect to your Pod Go, and see if this lets you do the update. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the advice but I already have PGE v1.30 installed, but it didn't recognize my Pod Go, only the Line 6 Updater when I use the update mode (pressing Page > while booting up).

Bugger - is that with both a PC and a Mac via PGE? I think you need to raise a ticket with Line 6 support - I'm sure they'll be able to help you get it sorted one way or another. Keep us posted?

stevenrb718 Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 I have another POD Go that freezes during the loading. After doing the firmware update and saying successfully complete, it hangs up on the preset building. Like the others, it's only able to be flashed though the updater and isn't visible through the Pod Edit program. I wonder if the unit is getting stuck on the presets specifically. I don't believe either of the small bios chips have any issues, so would the memory chip be causing the hangup? I believe most of the chips are bga's, so maybe a cracked solder ball is causing the issue? This unit worked fine until an LCD screen replacement, and now the hangups.
