help with flashing, stuck in specific part.

[Big Boy]

I got to step 4: UPGRADE SOFTWARE STORAGE STEPS.

I can not find the latest upgrade software file that is represented in the "how to" pdf. file as "SeriesA_v1_4.SR1" to put in the "Angel 1 Software" folder.

Therefore when I bring up the flashing program, I have no file to select to flash.

Where should this file be, that I can transfer it to the newly created "Angel 1 Software" folder?

[Jeroensplash]

give me your e-mail and I can e-mail it to you.

Thanks!

[Big Boy]

NOT GOOD!!

I got the file from Jeroen and did all the necessary steps. I got a error message after clicking "flash" after selecting the speed.

Basically it wont finish, and my angel 1 is stuck with the led being orange and non responsive to the click wheel! Had to take the battery out to make the led go out.

MT HELP PLEASE!!

Here is a screen shot of the message I got:

Check out some of the other threads on flashing. I have seen this problem reported before in a thread but I dont remember which one.

If the error says run-time error '53'
To fix you have to delete the software from you computer and re-install.
Then reflash with the new software and should work fine.
I had to do mine three times i think its all in the way you install it onto you computer if you don't follow the process exactly it dosn't like it.

[Russ A1]

Also check this thread it has the same problem

Hope this helps.

[Big Boy]

I just deleted everything, re installed, and retried, and I got the same thing.

The only thing that doesn't happen for me in the instructions, is when you first plug in the marker the prompt is supposed to come up about new hardware or whatever with the USB. That doesn't happen with me. I don't know if that's what causes the problem...

But I have to get this fixed! I have a tourney coming up quick!

In your Angel 1 Software folder...does that DLL exist? Your screenshot has the application hiding what is in the folder. That DLL needs to be in that folder.

[Big Boy]

DLL? The only things in that folder are what is visible on the screen shot. The two files. "Angel_Series_1_Flash_Utility" and "SeriesA_V2_2.SR1" Is there something else that needs to go in there?

[Russ A1]

have you made a folder called Angel 1 software on your desk top and is the 2.2 in that folder also is there a short cut to Angel_series_1_Flash_Utility on your deak top?
If if dosn't work delete again and re install i had to do it 3 times for it to work.
Let us know what happens

[Big Boy]

Both those things are in the Angel 1 software file, and yes there is a short cut on my desktop.

I'll go try it all again...

[Big Boy]

Still doesn't work... Definitely have the tournament coming....crap.

[Russ A1]

Give me 5 minutes i'll run through it and talk you through till the end.

[Big Boy]

That would be extremely appreciated. I'm not a computer tard or anything, in fact I worked at a comp shop for quite a while building them custom order...

I guess I'm just missing something through all of this. I guess this is also why I normally play with my old brass pump guns...

[Russ A1]

Ok first you opened up the CP210x_VCP_Win2K_XP.exe file and did the install shield wizard.

Then went to the your c:\SiLabs\MCU\CP210x\Win2K_XP folder and install the USB driver in the Perinstaller.exe file

It should then say install complete

[Russ A1]

then go to the Series_1_Flash file and open
Click setup and follow instructions

[Russ A1]

it then should say flash utility setup complete

then make a short cut of that to your desktop

[Russ A1]

that folder should only contain the 2.2 nothing else

so you should now have a folder named Angel 1 Software and also a shotcut to Angel_Series_1_Flash_Utility

Now click on the Angel_Series_1_Flash_Utility then open the Angel 1 Software file and open the 2.2

[Russ A1]

it should then prompt you to conect your marker

[Russ A1]

hows that going?

[Big Boy]

Did everything. Still nothing but an error.

[Russ A1]

well sorry to hear but the only thing i can recommend is delete and keep trying as i said before it took me 3 times to get it the first time since then have upgraded from 1.9 to 2.2 with out a problem it just seems to be the way i put it on in the beginning.

[Big Boy]

Yeah I just tried it two more times...

Any way to easily get in contact with a MT?

[Brad7]

Try installing on a different computer. I've seen stranger things

[Trigga Nometry]

Try installing on a different computer. I've seen stranger thingsI can attest to that Mav! Tried to flash 2.2 using our desktop over here. Error, after error. Went and installed it from the laptop, not a single issue whatsoever.

[Big Boy]

Finding another comp will be interesting to do. Think the public library would mind me brining my Angel in? :)

Click windows start button (bottom left of screen), click search, search in all files folders for fwnppd.dll once loctated copy into your c:\window\system32 folder and restart computer. Try flashing again.

[Big Boy]

I found the first file, but can't find where C:\window\system32 is to copy that file into. Sorry for being such a tard, but any help is definitely appreciated.

[BoB]

Should be c:\windows\system32 If you use windows explorer you will find it

[Big Boy]

Alright, thanks for the help. Found the file and copied it in. Now I just have to get my usb cable back from my friends house...

Left it over there last night when I tried it on his comp...:(
