Need to be online for installing 3.60 update ?

[vincentm77]

Hi everyone,

I downloaded the 3.60 Helix Edit and Firmware to my laptop.

My HX Stomp XL is already on 3.50.

 

Do I still need to be online to update to 3.60 ?

 

Best,

Vincent

You still need to be online because what gets downloaded is just the starter pack to actually download and install the actual programs.

No. But you will need to use the Line 6 Updater for the update in case you want to do it offline. So, what you needed would be:

- The actual update flash file

- Line 6 Updater

 

You can then tell the Updater to perform an offline update without even logging in.

 

You will only need the appropriate version of HX Edit later on (to - well - edit, to re-load your preferences and presets).

No, not in case he downloaded the firmware flash file already.

To clarify, you need to download the 3.60 Firmware file for your HX Stomp XL from the Line 6 website and save to your local drive.

You also need to download to your local drive Line 6 Updater. Note: The current version of Line 6 Updater is version 1.27, and works fine.

If you have not already done so, also download and save to your local drive the 3.60 version of HX Edit.

 

Once all these are present on your local drive -- without being online -- you may install and launch Line 6 Updater. Run it in Offline mode, and point it to the HX Stomp XL Firmware file on your drive. It will handle installation of the firmware to your device. Be sure to perform the Power On Factory Restart on your HX Stomp XL after installation of your firmware. And, if you backed up any Custom Presets, should you opt to Reinstall or Import them, be sure to perform the Power On Rebuild Presets routine to be sure everything is upgraded to comply with Firmware 3.60.

I would suggest that you begin by downloading the HX Edit installer package and install all components. This will eliminate the need to individually download the Line 6 Updater program as well as any drivers. The only other thing you will need to download manually is the Helix v3.6 firmware file. Then run Line 6 Updater and choose to install using the local firmware file.
