    Thank's, followed the steps exactly! Worked perfectly, I was skeptical at first because I have tried it before and it did not work. But I flashed two Lumineer F4 AIO perfectly to the new 3.2.2. Thank you so much! I could not download STM32 it would not allow it on the website so I proceed anyway, turned out when I did this previously I already had it downloaded and it would not let me download it again!

    Hey great video! Unfortunately this didn't fix my "Bootloader won't connect failed issue". I reinstalled all the drivers several times already. I could luckily solve it in another way (!):
    1. Connect you drone as usual via USB
    2. In the SETUP-Tab there's a button "Activate Bootloader / DFU". I clicked it, the drone will restart into Bootloader
    3. Don't click "connet" this time
    4. Click on the "Update Firmware Button"
    5. Flash your desired Firmware, Done! (I could now erase / flash my firmware without issues) Once finished, I could connect to the drone again, new firmware was installed.
    Hope this helps other ppl., but obviously you need to have the correct drivers running / working, before trying the 5 steps, as DumbThumbs explained really good!

    I am no computer expert but I got into a situation where the driver simply disappeared and I couldn't install it by running the CP21x driver program. After a lot of messing around I found that the following worked:
    Add the device manually to the Device Manager. As ports do not show up in the list in Windows 10, you'll go to Action>Add Legacy Hardware>Install Manually from a List>Ports (COM & LPT)>Manufacturer = Silicon Labs, Model = Silicon Labs CP210x USB to UART Bridge.
    Thereafter it should install, and display the COM Port in the Device Manager. If it displays a COM port, but shows as a broken device, check your cable.

    See beta flight picks up COM3 when i use the OSB 1.0.0 driver but then doesn't open the port. But when I install this Win USB 1.7600 beta flight doesn't recognize my FC or COM3 at all and only gives me the manual option. Idk what else to do here.
    Idk why but I followed your video last week and it worked fine. But I installed the wrong Firmware and am now trying to clean erase in boot mode but like I said now im having the issue above when i update the drivers.

    • @DumbThumbsFPV
      @DumbThumbsFPV  5 лет назад

      I personally hate windows and always will. Have you tried these things because I've had ALL of this happen to me. Reinstall the drivers after removing them from your machine. 2. Try a different usb cable

For the others that may be as daft as me, clicking update firmware was insufficient to actually put me in update ready mode....had to have bootloader button pressed when connecting usb to f.c for single solid red led.

    after 2years in the hobby i failed to get an connection with BF on a pc/laptop.
    I always use speedybee but its limited.
    now i have a new laptop with windows 10 on it. but the STM drives doesnt support win.10.
    so i need another virtual com port drive to fix this problem i think.
    do you have the sulution?
