If it was pre 2.80 you may encounter some problems. There was a major change to the Core operating system back on v2.80 and the information about the "Boot Failure" is documented in the Release Notes. It is also documented in the Release notes for 3.11. Quote: "My Helix/HX is at version X.XX. Can I go straight to 3.11. Absolutely, but note that if you're starting with a version lower than 2.80, the update will appear to happen twice. This is normal." In the Official Notes for Updating Helix/HX it states: IMPORTANT! In the unlikely event that your update fails, please follow the steps below: Unplug the USB cable from both the back of your Helix and the computer. Turn your Helix/HX device off and on. Reconnect the USB cable to your Helix/HX device and the computer. Download, install, and launch the latest version of Line 6 Updater. In a failure state, the device will not connect to HX Edit. Line 6 Updater for macOS: https://line6.com/software/readeula.html?rid=9831 Line 6 Updater for Windows: https://line6.com/software/readeula.html?rid=9832 Select your device and try updating to the latest firmware again. If the device does not show up in Line 6 Updater after these steps, try a different USB cable and/or USB port. If it still doesn't show up, try a different computer. It's really useful to read all the documentation before performing firmware updates, so you don't encounter any unpleasant surprises. Hope this helps/makes sense.

Punkyboy Posted August 31, 2021 Author Share Posted August 31, 2021 I don't remember the firmware, but can be 2.80 or 2.30 ,I don't know, it was never updated I think But I'm with you when you say" It is also documented in the Release notes for 3.11" But my opinion ! If you buy a gear on this price, the information that you mentioned must be in the box ! But excellent unit , sound amazing ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
