Note: If you don't see the firmware filename extension ".bin" that may be because your setup of Windows doesn't show the 3-character filename extension. If that's the case, don't worry about it and just look at the filename itself -- which should tell you what you need to know.

#godox #firmware #update
Wow, I never would have thought it would be so complicated. Thanks for making it so clear. Godox, if you're listening, you really should make firmware updates much easier!
What a convoluted process. Thank you for making it clear. Have great weekend.
Thanks, you too!
Appreciate you taking the headache away with these firmware updates.
Wasn't able to update the speedlite I think it's the USB driver but was able to update the remote trigger.
Try also a different cord. That worked for me.
@@pal2tech I was able to get it to work using a laptop instead of my PC. Thanks for your help.
I am really curious how you manage to find this obscure processes that some manufacturers seem to love to throw at their consumers. Bravo!! For Godox on the other hand (although I like and use their products) I think the “Torquemada Award” is well deserved.
hahaha, thanks!!! I have no life.
You are a gent, this has saved me from having a breakdown with the Godox tech i own
The tip to take out the batteries is what I needed, thank you!
This whole process is so cumbersome, and it ain't broke, so I have never contemplated updating (if it even is available for my Godox gear). I have a Mac, so learned early on that it was not an option, have blissfully lived in ignorance since :)
5:05 OMG this ... THIS !!! .... you are a lifesaver
Oh my goodness! That is a bit complicated. Particularly the need to remove the batteries!
Thanks for this, it will stop a lot of frustration!
Hope you have a great weekend!
All good tips however I had issues using Godox updater(s) and in my case it wasn't the cable, firewall or anything computer related preventing the update(s). After contacting Godox and trying their suggestions I finally figured out It was the actual Godox install package that was the issue. It was corrupt on their site and didn't have the correct "files" to recognize the product(s). Instead I used the Adorama Flashpoint series updater and it worked perfectly for my V860iin and Xpro transmitter. In case you aren't aware: Adorama brand flashes are just Godox rebranded and all of their accessories and updates are compatible with each other. Hopefully those who got the corrupt software can use this tip.
could not have updated my TT350 without this! thank you!
Once again you have produced the goods. This would be a minefield without your help. You are much appreciated, keep up the brilliant work 👍😀
Many thanks! So nice of you Colin!!!!
Watching it in January 2022: The X2T-F connected immediately, despite batteries in it. Don't know why, but still very very glad for the video.
Godox made it hard. You made it much easier. Thank you!
My godox V860IIS flashes did not work in manual mode. After this update all 4 of them are working now in manual mode too. You explained every thing calm and perfect. Thanks a lot.
You are amazing! Thanks for making all this stuff so easy to follow! Love your sense of humor!
ones again thanks I just got a7iv and my Godox wasn't working but you explained so well man thank you so much now is working great
Pal, you're an absolute legend! Who would of thought the batteries needed removing before the x2t would connect. Thumbs/Subs.... Thanks for the content
Your simply the best teacher for literally all the products that I own, capture one, Fuji cameras, and Godox lights.
To be fair: the doc states
"Please discharge the device before updating.
For X1T-F: Remove the battery and press the test button for 2 seconds"
Also, remember to use a proper micro USB cable. Some are only for charging. Figured out the hard way :o)
Thankyou soo much for this.I haven't as yet updated my flash gear to the Z firmware but this shows the process perfectly.
Great information. My city is currently in COVID lockdown and I was considering updating the firmware for "something to do" around the house. Thanks to you, I will save the aggravation, leave the firmware as-is and just take some pictures around the house instead.
Sounds great!
What a nightmare. Thanks for the thorough video. Haven't been able to update it yet, as I have Mac:/
Very helpfull video! my new x-t5 did not work with the Godox V1f so i choose to update the Godox. But despite all the good advices and following the steps it dit not connect. Then i switchted from " usb-c / usb-c" to " usb-c / usb" cable and it connected. So keep that also in mind.
Thanks for the explanation....I was spending way to much time convinced I was a dummy not able to update the X1T using MACOS....You'd think GODOX might do us all a favour and just give us a MACOS G1, G2 app!?
Thanks so much for this information. I own only Mac. So I will ask my son for the update on his windows machine
Thanks bro. This is priceless lesson. Thank you once again, greatly appreciate it.
Thank you so much!!! 🙏
You use all the same equipment as me, it's incredible, thank you so much for having great taste
You, sir, are a saint! I successfully updated the firmware on several TT685N flashes from V3.2 to V3.3. Just FYI, this firmware file is a “.fri” file, not a “.bin” file. With firmware V3.3 I can confirm that the TT685N now offers iTTL and high speed sync with the Nikon Z6 mark II (and by extension likely all of the Z bodies). Awesome!
Any idear why the godox installer won't connect to my ttl685fn? Used multiple USB cables. The laptop beeps to recognise a connection but the installer will not. So frustrated as its been months now without the ttl which I need. I'm considering buying another unit but how would anyone know if its got the updated firmware for a nikon z6ii?
@@callumjohnson9433 Sorry to hear you're having issues with this... you did type "ttl685fn" which is not a Godox model number. To be clear the TTL685F is for Fuji, and the TTL685N is for Nikon. There is no "FN" flavor. Verify you have the correct flash. Other than that, I have no idea why it's not working for you... Maybe your version of Windows isn't playing nice? Did you remove the batteries? You'll know it's correct when the flash has firmware V3.3.
@@tomweis1194 yeah it's the ttl685n, not sure how the f got in there. I have removed batteries and done all the different trouble shooting that's online. I'm using Windows 11 by the way.
How were you able to open the .fri file? 7 zip won't open it.
I didn’t even know you had to update your Godoy flash. I will have to check
Its complicated but you explained really well
awsome, you really helped me out. It's working flawless for my Godox V860II(N), X1T24G(N) combined with the Nikon Z6II
How'd you manage that. Mine isn't recognized when I plug it in using multiple cables.🤔
@@RogersPhotographyGuilford did you follow the full instruction? Did you remove the battery?
Thanks a lot Chris!!! I'll follow your advice (my Godox is working fine).
Thank you so much for this video! Godox updates royally sucks. That’s why, since my first and only try, I’ve never update mines but today you bring hope! Thank you so much!
🤔 This Fast Friday was awesome! 🤗
Just what the doctor ordered thanks
Wow really great and useful tutorial Chris!
Once again you’ve cleared the Fog 👍 Can’t wait for your cooking channel 😂
This is very useful. Thank you. I just don't have a window so I'm stuck
Every time I hear that intro I feel it needs more cowbell 🤘🏽
LOL! I have several on order. They will also look good in the studio when I make my grand entrance. 👍 👍
@@pal2tech Make sure to choose the right one. They're not all the same. :-) (I used to race cyclocross; cowbells are essential to a successful race). www.cxmagazine.com/going-pro-more-cowbell-international-shootout
pal2tech my man Wayne Szalinski with the cowbells!! Haha YASS!!!
📦 🔔 🗣🤘🏽
@@JimFeeley That's just so AWESOME!!!
Pure gold, thank you!
You bet!
Happy Thanksgiving to you, too!
"If it ain't broke, don't fix it." That is worth its weight in gold as well. Sometimes firmware worm holes are not fun!
I've traveled through many.
Thanks!! This video was great instruction.
Thanks!
Thanks Mate, Very Helpful. Would have stuffed this up without some of those essential tips.
WOW !! Ehy Chris..every time is the same story...your video tutorials open a....world !! Great Suggest "" I have a XT2 - a 685 and a 600 speedlight from Godox...and for sure I'm going to check if there are some update. THX a lot and enjoy your time
Great to hear! Thanks Cristiano!!!
Thxs for the tip I had to figure all this out on my own but I did it but now u made a video for others thxs for your help again
No problem 👍
Nice Thank you...Now i Can refer this video for anyone😍
Wow! great job! worked great!
YOU are my hero.
I updated the Godox V1F to version 1.2 on a iMac with OS Catalina. No problem! For MAcOS the 7-zip wasn't free. The UNARCHIVER is and does the same job! To start the Godox-update program you have to give permission in system-ref-ref because it's blocked bij Apple as a unknown file. Let's hope someday there will be a much smarter way to do this. Same for the Fujilim remote app. It sucks.
Thank you. You did it again.
Thanks for the tip!
Thank you for the great and helpful video
You are welcome! 👍
I saw on a forum that you should press the power on button on the device once the batteries are removed....I suppose this is to dissipate any residual power??
I don't think this is absolutely necessary as you have shown the update worked without this step.
I didn't try that, but makes sense. Can't hurt.
Thank you for help.
THANK YOU for this video!
You bet!
You could go to a friends house or library to use a PC.
Do I really need these updates? I cannot thank you enough for this info but am left feeling very cynical about anything IT...come on guys cut us some slack!
Bless you Chris, please keep on keeping on 🤩
You and me both!
Thanks
The problem with my Godox is the way you have to down load a decompression software then down load the update before installing it on the flash drive. The problem is it is not compatible with windows 11 or with the Apple m1 laptops . So I’m stuck .
Great Video. 💯
Thank you.
Gold !!!!!! thank you
hello, sir, I am from the Philippines and I always watch your video i just bought a godox tt350 for my fuji xt3 the problem is whenever i put batteries and attach it to my xt3 it's always blinking low and it won't connect to my xt3 I hope you can help me with it thank you and god bless...
Cheers for that Chris it should save a lot of swearing at my computer.
Those Godox units seem sweet, but dang, even for a flash their usability seems poor. I loved the Strobist 101 series back in the day and have been meaning to come back to speedlights with Fuji.
You are a saint!!!
thank you bro
IMPORTANT NOTICE!
Firmware upgrade software won't see your device if you're connected via USB-C to USB-C cable. Works with USB-A to USB-C connection only! Oh that Chinese software..
Anyone else experiencing their XT3 siezing up when using the X2T controller, pre firmware update??
My XT3 seizes when using X2T sometimes. trying to update now.
Fingers crossed 🤞
You jumped from the TT685f to the download page, without even mentioning what page you use. Can't find the godox down;oad page that you mention...
ok..I have a MacBook and I just can't get the G3 software to recognize either my x2tc or ad200pro. I've removed batteries, I've discharged the Speedlight...I've banged my head on the table...nothing works :(
I'm still struggling to get my device to show up in their software?
Can you use the godox firmwear updater for Flashpoint products
I'm not entirely sure - I've not tried that.
No problems at all. Man so manny frustrations. Cool down.
the links are not working :(
Why does my go fox xt2 trigger not have the hss option meaning where I can activate it.
That a really great Chris.I have a question please.Does the Fuji Xt3 take a several shots in multi exposure settings or only Two shots and that what I found. And one day you explained a bout Godox flash unit is there a chance to show us how to use the HSS (high sync speed)
I do really appreciate Chris 😘
Sir my Fujifilm xt3 stuck in TTL model can't switch in manual mode pllzzzzz help
The Mac version didn’t work in Big Sur, I luckily have Catalina in a Mac Mini.
Ugh, I didn't even test in Big Sur. Go figure. Yeah, stuck with Catalina. Big Sur basically turns your mac into one big iPad.
thx a lot😊
That's weird. I had my Godox with batteries in and it still works.
You are right, it is an absolute spectacular issue and to how many issues and hastle there is to update the firmware. Why is there no dowload of a windows .exe program to run the download? why do I have to load an .rar extractor to then extract the .exe program? why does the updater not start in english (once the right version of the update launchef was started - so we all have to figure out on which chinese icons we have to push in odefr to change the launcher to english??? and then, why does the firmware update instruction in dne manual and in the pdf from the website not say that the battery needs to be ejected and only then the flash connectec to the pc. all that jazz. this is not befitting a world leading brand at all. thank you for the video! i wouild have not managed to figure the connectuon issue out!
I have a Mac...I want to update my GODOX AD600.
it is year 2023, it is already on USB-C but i still cannot update the X2T-F
already removed battery
already press and hold he test button for 2 sec...
nothing work
tried on 2 Windows 11 computer and 1 Macbook
*update if you use USB C to USB C data cable, the product will not be connected
if you use USB C to USB A data cable, the product will be detected
Z6 II. iTTL doesnt work , i ttry up 3 flash guns. Any idea of why could hapend? They do work in the Z6 iTTL
Have a godox v1 that just crapped out and won’t turn on… just past warranty. Can’t find any videos to fix. Any suggestions?
I had to borrow a windows laptop to get the tt350f installed...
Or get the update program possible link
Any idea why it failed to install drivers for G1 software? I am not able to upgrade my V860II on my windows 10. ._.
Thank you very much... 👍👍👍😃👋👋
Question.If I update the Nikon z firmware,will the flash still work with Nikon DSLR do you know?
@pal2tech one of the affiliate links for the is out of date and the product it unavailable. fyi Amazon offers a transmitter and speed lite combo...Reason is I want a flash/flash and want to support the channel
Not flash related, but do you know Godox polarity (ledp120c)? No mention on device, manual,
support site or online. Also one asked this on Godox's YT channel
ledp120c video, but no answer from Godox??? Positive polarity I guess?
Hi, your video is great but the chart you display re the various firmware launchers does not appear on the Godox download website, have they moved it somewhere else, I just get a 404 error when trying to download it. Can you please help
My mac does not recognize my xt2
I just got my Godox TT685II F and am trying to update following your instructions, I do not have a BIN file it is a FRI file. Any idea what I am doing wrong? This is so frustrating
Wow. Impressive explanation. However given the fact that I have to consult my instruction manual every time I use my XPro controller and three flashes, I think I will leave well enough alone.
English downloads page does not exist.
Brother please tell me godox tt350 s new firmware I have sony a6400 it will not properly work reply soon
thanks!!! I'm a mac user, What can I do to update?
