Thanks for commenting! Well, I am sorry, but since I do not own an ELRS Version of the radio I can't really tell. My guess is, that updating EdgeTX is the same as for the 4-in-1 version. But for ELRS I can't tell. If I take a look at the ELRS website (espresslrs.org) then the ExpressLRS Configurator is used for updating. But again, I can not test this scenario.
My TX16S has firmware version V2.8.0 released on 11/25/2022, and multimodule version v1.3.3.20 AETR, should I update both the Edgetx firmeare and multi module version? If I do it, would it lose the current settings on my airplanes that I fly? Thanks in advance
After flashing in the bootloader mode, my version in correct and successful but when I go to flash the internal multi, it gives me and error. Any idea what the problem could be? Thank you
You dont flash the Multi-Module firmware from the bootloader. Just start the radio normally, goto to SYS and there to SD card and open the folder FIRMWARE. Now select the firmware file and "execute" it.
After you flash the firmware at time stamp 19:47 and click on EXIT, do you disconnect the radio from the computer? When you then update the MultiMode module is the radio still disconnected from computer? Thank you
The radio was never connected to the computer! All the necessary files where downloaded and then copied to the SD card and the update where performed from there. The EdgeTX firmware you update through the bootloader. To enter that, you have to hold the trim switches as shown in the video. The update of the multi module firmware is simply done from the SYS > SD Card menu on the MT12. Just navigate to the folder, select the file and initiate the update.
@@arminrc So if you remove the SD card from the radio and connect the SD card directly to the computer does that prevent you from accidentally deleting the Memory device (Volume) Internal to the radio that contains the edgetx OS? This seems like Safer way to connect the SD card. Because when I leave the SD card in the radio and connect the radio to the computer with a USB cable and select Storage mode. I see 2 Devices (or Volumes) on the Finder window, RM ZORRO and RM ZORRO SD. Does that sound correct to you? I’m try to understand how the memory is arranged. 🙏
No, it does not prevent you from deleting content from the SD card. If you insert the SD card into the card reader on your computer then you have full access to the SD card. You can copy, delete, rename, or whatever. Best strategy would be to insert the SD card and make a full backup. Then, if anything goes wrong, just copy the backup over to the SD card and start all over again.
Hello ArmenRC- So instead of doing a firmware update as shown, if you wanted to Restore to a previous saved Backup would the procedure be to 1. Copy the contents of the desired Backup and the Paste the contents into the SD card mounted using the SD Card Adapter. 2. Open the Firmware folder to get the name of firmware/Radio.bin file. 3. Install the SD Card back into the Radio and 3. Launch the BootLoader and write the Firmware by Selecting the Name obtained in step 2. Without using Companion or Buddy?🙏
Yes, I think this would be the way! If you have a full backup (a complete copy of the SD card content incl. models, audio, etc.) then just copy the backup to the radio replacing everything that is there. Maybe it is best to clear/remove all the SD card content and then copy the backup over to the SD card. Then, after the content has been replaced, put the SD card back into the MT12, turn it with entering the bootloader (hold the two trim switches in the right position) and flash the "old" firmware. Of course you need that old firmware binary file (either by downloading it again or the backup already contains that file). Please be aware that there is no guarantee that an older firmware works with newer content. Therefore it will be best to remove/clear all the SD card content and replace it with the content from the backup. But why would you want to go back to an older firmware version?
I followed your video’s instructions for installing a new version of the firmware, I chose v2.8.0 and went to the edgetx GitHub link and opened, then scrolled down to version 2.8.0 and downloaded the zipped file. The new folder I just created, now contained all the .bin files. I copied the file for the Zorro file and dropped it in the Firmware folder below along with a copy of the 4-1 module. Next I copied the EN folder into the SOUND folder. My SD Card content Folders. BACKUP, EEPROM, FIRMWARE, LOGS, MODELS, RADIO, SCREENSHOTS, SCRIPTS, SOUNDS, UTILITIES. Then dis a Select All and dropped them in the SD card then I installed the SD card in the Zorro. Time to turn On the BootLoader. I pushed in on both Trim Buttons and Powered Up the radio. The BootLoader Screen appeared and selected Write Firmware. The display not Showed the message, DIRECTORY IS MISSING! /FIRMWARE. The SD Card>FIRMWARE FOLDER, does appear in the Finder and when I open it, the 2 files show up, the zorro_xxx.bin file and the 4-1 module file. This my Zorro that I Bricked and had to use app STM32 Cube Programmer to get the Display with no SD Card . Any ideas about this problem, Missing Firmware Directory?🙏
To be I do not know, what happens here. I just took my SD card out of my Radiomaster TX16S and formatted it (FAT32). So the card was totally blank. Then I downloaded the SD card content for Version 2.8 and copied all the Folder from the zip archive to the SD card. After that I downloaded the two firmware files (EdgeTX Version 2.8 and Multi-Module version 1.3.4.0) and copied the two files to the FIRMWARE folder. Then the SD card back to the Radio. Powering up with the two trim switches pressed brought me to the bootloader. I selected the EdgeTX firmware file and installed. No problems at all. Please try another SD card. Sometimes they work fine on the PC but for some reasons the radio cannot read them properly. And: are you sure that the filename of the firmware is not too long? Please check it.
@@arminrc Well today I think I discovered why I got the Missing Firmware Directory message. I was watching a new video today from RCVideoReviews about the SD Card and size a such and that started me thinking. In another video on the SD card i thought i could get away using a 32Gb Card formatted Fat32, 1GB Partition and 4K Block size. So that’s what I’ve been trying to write my 2.8.0 Firmware contents to. I received a 512MB microSD card from Adafruit and then using Disk Utility on my Mac Erased and formatted it to Fat32. Then I copied yesterday’s Zorro v2.8.0 data to the 512MB card. The missing Firmware Directory error message went away using the 512 and I was successful writing the firmware using the BootLoader at PowerUp. Some of the firmware options are not Selectable like MPM writing and others shown on these Screenshots. Is there to write these options another way? The T16 colored display radios seem to let you install the mpm and such right from the radio. When I choose a Model the AETR doesn’t seem to work. When you Paces that Show moment when moving the stick it doesn’t agree yet before my major screwup every worked as expected. Also I can’t turn the Internal Module On as shown in one of the screenshots. 🙏 for all your help
Make sure use set the correct channel order (usually AETR) and the correct mode (my TX16S runs in Mode 2 which means throttle is on the left stick). The MPM firmware is not flashed from the bootloader but directly through the SD card menu. Since I do not have a Zorro and won't buy one I cannot help you on this.

Thank you again for the excellent guide! Is there any difference when updating an ELRS version?

Usually if you do the update right, no model info is deleted. But, do you really need to update? You know: never touch a running system 😉
After flashing in the bootloader mode, my version in correct and successful but when I go to flash the internal multi, it gives me and error. Any idea what the problem could be? Thank you
You dont flash the Multi-Module firmware from the bootloader. Just start the radio normally, goto to SYS and there to SD card and open the folder FIRMWARE. Now select the firmware file and "execute" it.
What's the latest update. Not sure if mine is right an having trouble finding it if it's not right. Mine is 2.8.4-rm-build
The most recent stable version of EdgeTX is 2.10.4. But you that if you go to the EdgeTX website.
After you flash the firmware at time stamp 19:47 and click on EXIT, do you disconnect the radio from the computer? When you then update the MultiMode module is the radio still disconnected from computer? Thank you

On the EdgeTX part I just use EdgeTX Buddy. But Do i lose anything for not using the method you are showing?
No, I guess you dont. For me it is always a good thing to know how things are done "by hand". Just in case ...

Muss ich nach dem Upgrade meine Modelle neu binden?
Nein, normalerweise nicht!
