- This video is a guide on how to update Godox Firmware using the Godox G1, G2, and G3 firmware installers for godox series flashes. Yes this works for Flashpoint equivalent products too. Some firmware installers are only for windows, whereas the G3 firmware installer is for windows and mac.

Great tip to discharge the flash before firmware install. Thanks Rob!
Robert Hall, I really appreciate your thorough review on updating Godox products firmware. Keep doing what you do!!!
Was looking for a video like this last week. Every video I found was like 8 years old. Not the most fun video to make I bet but it surely helps beginners to flash photography like myself.
Thanks for this! I had charge only USB cable and was scratching my head as to why it did not work.
Excellent presentation. Your videos are well defined and can help without wasting a lot of time.
Dude, your videos are awesome & super helpful. Keep up the good work!!!
Thank you!! :D. There's a v3 Mac updater. I just used it and it works the same as on Winblows.
Thanks, just updated my xproc and ad200, hope that helps getting read of the sensor banding at HSS with the EOS RP.
Robert, thanks for this video. As you know from emails this week I just ordered and rec'd the eVolv200 Pro to add to my existing kit of Godox V860II x2 and the XPro-N. So now (at 5:01) I learned I could have fried that stuff due to not pressing the ON switch after removing the battery to eliminate any residual power-hmm, did I even remove the battery? Don't remember. So, in the User Guide with the eVolv 200 Pro, it says on pg 21 to download from Adorama the "F3" installer, then click on the page where the device is shown to download the firmware. Could only find the eVolv200, not Pro and I noticed that model said to use the "F2" installer. So, thoroughly confused, I just quit, thankfully. Now I learn at 7:10 and in your commentary below the video, I can just use the Godox firmware for my eVolv200 Pro. Hopefully, I don't need to update but, if I do, you have likely saved a brand new piece of equipment from frying. Thanks for this info plus thanks for all your other helpful videos to show me the best stuff to order, like those really cool Rogue Grid Gels for the Round Head! ⭐x5
You might want to add a bit about the .rar files and 7-ZIP. I was not expecting that after I downloaded the files for my two triggers I had to load the G2 and G3 loaders as well as the new firmware and I did not look at the instructions right away. Just something that would have been nice. Great video... It was really helpful.
I'll give it another shot. I tried a couple days ago, and couldn't make anything work. I'll try again today, and if it doesn't work, I'll reach out to you or Alex.. Tech is NOT my strong suit...
thanks for the easy directions btw.
How about OS X firmware
I gave up and just find a windows computer. Just had to give in lol
Thank you again great content, always I did this about 6 months ago...
I hope you're correct about not needing MacOS versions of G1 and G2.
Thanks for the video.
God tips and well explained and thank you for sharing. I’ll have to check mine out now too.
I found this video because I missed the step of taking the battery out of my brand new AD200Pro when I went to update the firmware. Why did I even update it? I've in IT for over 25 years and well, that's just what older IT geeks do. The flash would not come back on. So I figured my bad, I messed up and I should just take the beating and buy another. At least I would have an extra battery and accessories, right? New flash comes in today and I figured it's working this time don't bother it. But, now that I've got something that works, I've just gotta keep messing with the one I bricked. I tried a bunch of other things, still didn't work (BTW, I did take the battery out and discharged it before I tried again and again). So, I noticed there was a "Version A" of the firmware for the AD200Pro but there was no "Version A" labeled on my flash anywhere. I said to myself, "it's already broken, why not try it"? Installed the version A firmware and now my bricked flash is working, YAY!!!!! So now I have two AD200Pro's that work.... much better than having two with one bricked! I followed the steps carefully this time on the second flash and the upgrade worked flawlessly (this one was obviously a Version A as well). Thank you for the video!
Hello, I'm about to update the firmware of my ad200pro too, cos I am getting an E3 error, I read somewhere that updating firmware could fix it.
However, I am not sure exactly what version of the firmware to download. Could you please share a link of the firmware version that worked for you? Thanks
@@jaigraphixmedia2826 just unboxed new ad200pro, how do i find the current FW version on device ?
Between cable confusion and multiple launchers Godox/Flashpoint has made a mess of upgrading FW. AD200 uses A type, R2PRO uses type C and reciever R2 uses yet another cable, Micro B. Thanks for taking some confusion out. Three different connectors for products bought at the same time is frustrating.
That AD200's USB type A port is for the old FT-16 433 MHz receiver. It has a micro port for firmware.
First thanks ever so much for your wonderful tutorials. The problem with Godox is that my app G3 doesn't recognize none of my Godox devices on MAC OS. I guess it has to do with some USBC problem, but God knows what? It just doesn't work on MAC OS, really a great shame knowing that most photographers are MAC users?! Who will buy a Windows device for just updating your Godox equipment? Have you any experience of using Godox together with MAC, Robert?
Had the issue - saw your comment - and couldn't find any answer online, but when I did I had to come back. I was able to fix the issue this way: Use a USB-C to regular USB plug and run it through an adapter on your mac. The USB-C to USB-C connection didn't work at all for me.
Great and very clear explanation Robert! 👍😀
Precise, as ever. Thanks Rob.
Thanks Robert. I was looking for some thing like this from you. I had a question. I am Mac user and I think upgrader is only for Window?
Covered in the video...
@@robhallphoto thanks
Robert did you get the firmware updater working in Windows 10 without disabling secure driver signing? I tried a few weeks ago and couldn't get it to work, seemed the software was designed for Windows 7. Is there a new windows 10 updater?
I have a v860ii N that won't get detected on either windows 10 computer I have. I don't know what to do. I bought 480 mbs data transfer cable specifically for this but no dice.
@@adamblejer7610 - Same here. I cant get the installer to load.
Just a heads up .... G1 firmware gave me an " Cache Error" the way to make it work is you have to right click and run as administrator .... ALSO Flashpoint F1 Firmware will also work on GODOX hardware ......
Thank you for your brilliant videos! I've recently changed my Canon 5diii to a Canon R6ii. I'm battling with my Godox X2T and AD300pro. Are you aware of any problems between these two systems?? Thank you!
If the flash is working correctly, I would not risk going with firmware updates
K.
I tried to update ad600bm, the driver is installed and the program is also installed, but it gives an error connection fail!, please help
Hello Rob, I have a question regarding the XPros trigger. I tried to do a update, and trigger will not turn on. I installed the wrong firmware!!! What can I do please help out Michiganian???
Do I need to update my V1's (some are at VER4 others at VER6) if the update decripsions have nothing to do with my R6 cameras?
A great video well explained. I have a problem with the G1-Launcher it will not upload driver and I get this error message "libus install failed." I am running the latest version of Windows 11 on my PC. The G2-Launcher is fine. Is there are way to fix this problem as I have two speedlights TT685 for my Nikon and Olympus cameras that need to be updated. Is there a way to fix this.
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.
Love your videos! The firmware link in the comments is now broken. Just in case you have an updated one :)
1. The website you gave isn't working. I am trying to update my V860IIC because my Canon EOS R's ISO continually changes when the flash is in use. 2. The flash shows it has Version 1.8, the latest version. WTH.
¿Alguna actualización sirve para que el flash no se caliente?
why can't I get this to work on Mac with my Flashpoint R2
Thank you! Will this work for Flashpoint too?
I followed your process, updated my AD200 Pro and its refusing to come on. Help
PROBLEM SOLVED. I figured it out. There are two firmware update for AD200 Pro. so you have to check if your Unit is "Version A" or not
Im using Godox x2t for fuji trigger to ad200 flash ,the camera will not let me set the flash to Manual... it will immediately go to TTL. I don't want TTL...Do I need to update the firmware...
I am trying to update the firmware on my Godox v860ii for Nikon and I have removed the battery, downloaded the firmware and the firmware installer, turned the flash switch to ON, and connected the micro USB cable to my computer. The flashloader will not connect to the flash. Could this be something with the microusb cable I am trying to use?
Very helpful thank you
Great video Robert! I have an E5 Error on my new V1 flash with a continuous beeping sound and it says please contact the after sales service!
I think I maybe messed up a firmware upgrade using G3 but reinstalled the Bin file a few more times anyway but still no luck! is there anyway to fix this like an older update somewhere or do I need to replace it from B&H which is no problem at all? Thanks
Hey I updated my xpro trigger and now the sync is not showing its just deep black so I can't turn my hss on from the trigger any advice please
AD200. I switch off bleep (during wedding ceremony) but if I switch off the tx (and ad200) when I switch them back on, the bleep has returned !
Can you help solve this ?
my godox flash is not working been stuck for a year. What can I do?
lovely beard man!
Just updated my TT685 and XProN. Your instructions very helpful but (here in the UK) using Windows 10 I kept getting Connect Failed. Google provided a solution but entailed altering the Secure Boot status to Disabled in the UEFI BIOS and then using the command prompt to disable the integrity check. Only then following your instructions to complete the update. Thereafter, going back to enable Secure boot and reinstate the integrity check. I gather this is because Godox don't sign their USB driver. If you have any influence with them can you get them to rectify this for the future please? I do wonder if I could have more easily updated using the Flashpoint updates via the US Adorama site?
can't update. Safari can’t open the file “Godox_AD600_AD600B_V2.6.rar” because no available application can open it.
this page is no longer found, do you have an updated one?
aid!!! update with the current version of the program in windows (godox G3) the firmware of my godox x2t trigger for sony and it does not turn on. I already tried reinstalling the firmware and it still doesn't turn on :(
Thank you so much!
Hi Robert, The link you specify for the various Godox G1, G2 and G3 launchers is not working, just displays a 404 error, can you help please.
I have an AD200 Pro and a TT350S and using a Macbook Pro.
How do I find the correct launcher and download it without this chart you lited
Hello . When I am Using My trigger Godox X1T-C , for Ocf there is a sudden bump in ISO 1600 automatically can u Please Suggest Something .
After I extract the file, where can I can find the app Godox G1 firmware update to load my select file. You know the one I talk about is the app on the top column have 3 rectangles that contains select file, connect, upgrade. Please help.
Unless I missed it in the video, I don't recall any mention about downloading the program "7-zip" which is required in order to unzip the GODOX files. I went thru the version upgrade process yesterday and 7-zip is required before a version upgrade can proceed.
...don't know why you need 7zip, I just right click and extract with no zip utility required.
@@robhallphoto Needed 7-zip to open "rar" files downloaded from the GODOX web site to my PC. Had to update my TT685 speedlights. Download was under first group using "G1" installer.
Thanks a ton.
this work with the equipments brand flashpoint???? for example xplor600ttl r2 because i don't want to applied a firmware update and make unusable the flash, thanks in advanced
Hi Robert I have a Neewer V1S as well as a Neewer NW600BM will the Godox site updates work as they are rebranded
thank you very much. really helpful ! anyway, as long the gear works I don't touch it. :-)
Not the AD100pro?
thanks, lifesaver
not able to find the godox G1 installer
If you use Flashpoint versions of these, the process is much easier/clearer. Here is the update page on Adorama, It's way more user friendly! I guess that's why I use Flashpoint in the first place. lol.

Is it possible to update the Godox branded this way?
hello, impossible to make G1 work on my win10 machine to update V860II for Z6ii, even with registry tricks,... i have updated V1, ad200pro and ad400pro with G2, G3 without any problem but G1 seems too old or buggy.
I have asked to my godox distributor who uses mac and he didn't find any G1 godox firmware software for mac. any idea how to proceed ? not sure i will find an old WIN XP :-)
as of today firmware link not working?
THANKYOU ! :-)
Hey Rob. My devices that used the G2 firmware worked perfectly but my G1 devices did not upgrade, after hitting the upgrade button, it said, cache failed.
Hi same problem as you, did you find how to fix it ? Thx
Any idea how to update on OSX?
Good shit ! Ty
When I extract the file it doesn’t go to my desk top it opens up internet explore I click open file and a screen flashes for a sec then exits on its own idk wtf going on
Also my flash is not connecting to my pc
there is no g1 software for mac.. that I see
Links are dead 😕
I updated my Godox AD200 PRO from v1. 0 to v1.1 and now it won't turn on! Anyone found a fix for this?
they say email godox, they will provide the old version it'll fix the problem. Mine just got bricked, I followed this tutorial but I won't blame him though.
Any thoughts why I can't change the zoom om v860ii?
Search my video covering speedlight zoom being stuck.
hello rob, how to check if my ad200pro is Version A or not? i dont want to take risk, please guide me thanks!
if there is a sticker "Version A" on the light fixture
@@robhallphoto where is this "light fixture" located?
I always get load complete, but the connect never works. Any idea on that one ?
probably not using a data cable.
@@robhallphoto Hi Robert. Thanks for the reply. I thought that also. I have tried 3 different cables but will head to BestBuy purchase a new one.
@@robhallphoto Turns out it was digital signature. I needed to disable that option and it worked.
Thank you for this tutorial.
How did you install the firmware program? I have a Windows 10 PC, and Godox products AD200 pro and X2T/N.
Regards, Erik.
Great if you have a pc but with a mac you can't update godox products
the page dosnt exist anymore
Lighting tutorial for thumbnail photo?

Can you please tell me where did you get that micro to usb Data cable? Thank you.
I just have amassed dozens of them. From old phones and computer electronics. That one specifically was included with my Wacom tablet.
Robert Hall I have tried dozens that I also have and they won’t work? That’s what I find weird?
@@bass4pro Are you using windows 10?
Could a firmware up help my strobe actually fire because it only powers on but don’t fire moonlight still comes though so just wondering if if I need a update so that it actually fire
If your strobe doesnt fire when you hit the test button on the flash - it's likely the bulb is broken or mounted improperly. Otherwise it would have an error code.
If it fires there but not when you hit test on the transmitter, then it's likely your channel / group / ID functions are not setup properly.
If it fires there but not when you hit your shutter, either your transmitter isn't seated properly, you have the wrong transmitter, or you're in electronic shutter.
@@robhallphoto they worked with it before and I got a new bulb 💡 both triggers worked well before mono light works bulb comes on just doesn’t fire 🔥 at all come on just doesn’t fire when hitting shutter
@@robhallphoto and never fell down at all just got done with a shoot and never fire after that but is there a link that u can send me so I can send in to get I fixed
