I installed drivers, checked for port set port as shown in device manager, set Arduino as ISP but it showing error while uploading, i changed nano bit also it's showing same error
What error?
@@mission_critical it was showing that unable to upload code to board, after doing every steps provided by u still it's showing same error, then i randomly chaned one option showing atmega 328bootloader to atmega 328(old bootloader) then again i upload the code now this time the successfully uploaded 😊😊😊 tyso mch🤗🤗.request u to add this common problem also😉
Yes sure, I will pin your comment and make sure everyone gets to see it! Thanks for the update
@@anzilasheikh3622 tysm it helped...
@@mission_critical I am having the same problem as above, but the boot loader will not burn to the nano. No combination of settings helps. the nano I have already has the blink program running from when I got it. how do I get it to burn the boot loader???
Thank you so much! I ordered a few of these nanos and none of them worked. I was pulling my hair out. Following you excellent guide I installed the correct driver and burning the boot loader and they are working great! Thank you again!
You are most welcome, glad to know my video was helpful 😍😉
A superb video - your 'Burn Bootloader' information sorted my cheap Nano problem in no time. Thankyou Mr Mission Critical, you are a STAR Sir!
Thank you very much! I had to do the bootloader burn on my 3 that I got 2 weeks ago. I couldn't upload anything, and got frustrated, and now they're working like a charm 😋 thank you!
Hi, I am having problems with new nanos. I need the old loader versions, which work perfectly for me. Is there a way to know when purchasing them, or can I use this method in the video, to upload the old boot loader onto a new boot loader?
i faced a problems on the pins of A6 and A7 on arduino nano once i program using those pins especially on simple blinking and keypad interfacing using those pins but doesnt give an output but once i use other pins they work perfectly, how to solve it?
I have arduino nano clone version with atmega 328p. And I use arduinodroid for the program. And whenever I try to upload my sketch it shows "programmer not responding" and there is nothing connected to tx1 and rx1 pins. What's the issue here and how can I solve it sir? And also when i choose the board type as "nano w atmega328p (old bootloader)" it shows check board type.
Thank you! On the spot! For me as a beginner I really didn’t know what to do... You helped me so much!
Glad that it helped,
Thank you for subscribing to Mission Critical
hi i have a nano with tx and power lights on the board will not reset and i cannot upload sketch to it it seems to have died overnight
Hi, I do have an arduino programmed with an hex file who sends characters to a lcd screen, I want to copy the file but when using AVRDUDESS I can't detect the nano clone, any idea how to copy hex file to clon? thanks
I try to operate different sketches for lighting to ON a number of LEDs, but this board of nano can only handle 4 LEDs per sketch and no more. Is there a solution? Thank you.
sir ,it dump the program is done.blinking program is good to run. but i connect ir sensor and relay but doesn't work properly its work always run or not improper
Thanks a million. I finally got it to work after the 4th step.
Hey I tried your burn bootloader method and it displayed a successful bootload but after disconnecting it and uploading code again it is showing the same issue ( avrdude: ser_open(): can't set com-state for "\\.\COM3"
Failed uploading: uploading error: exit status 1). Can you guide me through this process again or suggest me some other solution to this.
At first I had no big hopes that this video will help me, because I already watched lots of other Videos with problems about the Arduino nano. But when I tested to burn the Bootloader using my working Arduino Uno, it worked. Thank you!!!
Thank you so much for supporting my work, this kind of support make my day 🥂 thank you so much 😁
You helped me, so I also can help you 👍😉
Thanks a million for you comprehensive approach. As it turned out I did have to install the boot loader. Worked like a charm :)
Glad to help,
Thank you for subscribing to Mission Critical 😊
I have installed CH340 driver, set everything on IDE, but my computer still can't detect a new port for my Nano, other than the existing ports. And no port connected to CH340 in device manager. The Nano power LED lights up, the 'L' LED blinks... and nothing else. I can't load any sketch to my Nano since my computer can't detect the port. Help..!!
Thank you. The boot loader instructions saved my day.
Hi, after run through problem #4, it says - after i've uploaded both the UNO and the NANo the ArduinoISP - that everything is okay.
However after that, when i try to upload the 'blink' program to the nano, it says it uploaded it, but it did not work. I tried other programs, or changing the blink to output the led to pin 9, but its just won't work.
The output is this:
Reading | ################################################## | 100% 0.31s
avrdude: verifying ...
avrdude: 2146 bytes of flash verified
avrdude done. Thank you.
What can be the problem?
I have connected a TSOP 1838 to an arduino nano uploading the code its totally OK but displaying the code on the serial monitor is the big issue please help me with that
Hi, nice and clear video, I have MACBook Ail and I bought Arduino nano clone and I cannot find the serial port options (grey button) even I had download the the CH340 divers, but the USB serial port still remain disabled, how I can solve this matter? thanks in advance Roberto
when i insert GND on Uno , UNO goes off and Nano also goes off , they are not even detected, when i remove GND pin on UNO everything is up , but in the end bootloader fails, pls suggest
i purchased arduino uno clone ,i installed ch340 driver but when i connect the board nothing happens in my laptop ,even no connection notification no popup no port in device manager and no port in IDE but all 4 leds are glowing
what should i do plzz help!!
when i upload any program to my arduino uno r3 its showing error can you help me out !!!!! please
Hi @Mission Critical Im Struggling Here I Have The Same Board But I Get This Error
avrdude: ser_open(): can't open device "\\.\COM13": Access is denied.
I Have Tried All Apart From Bootloader As I Do Not Have A UNO Board
Any Help Will Be Much Appreciated Thanks
I guess you need to close " serial port " and disconnect any circuit connected,
Thank you for subscribing to Mission Critical
Hello to Mission Critical. I really appreciate your video on how to fix nano issues. My nano gets heated (chip) once I connect the usb to the pc with no load, and it does not upload the sketch. Can adivise with that ?
Can i change bootloader with clone nano like arduino uno?
i have a nano clone. I installed ch34x drivers but the computer still cant detect the board. it doest show anything under the ports tab in device maager
Will post a solution soon, be subscribed
Bro if we do like the fourth process we can uplode the program with the use of uno to nano ha bro...?
Yes absolutely!
I just changed to Big Sur OS...now the Arduino IDE will not open. Sp I use PlatformIO. I have an esp32 dev mod and a Heltec esp32 wifi kit. Platform I will not uplad due to error either timed out waiting for header or wrong com port. The only com prt I can find in PIO is bluetooth incoming port.
Brother, is there any system to upload bootloader to Arduino Nano using downloaded software from internet without using another Arduino?
I ordered an Arduino uno(no small or smd version) supposed to be genuine.
I need to use A4 input to read voltage or use Ina219 to read current sense.
Regardless I do, I have no answer if I use a4 input. If I measure with a voltmeter A4 and Gnd I'll read 5volts.
I am able to upload code.
Is this a bad board? A4 shouldn't be present 5 volts I think.
100% Helpful, thank you!
This was very helpful, thank you! After burning a boot loader using a working Arduino Uno (clone) I finally managed to upload a sketch to my Arduino Nano (clone).
I had to use the ATmega328p (Old bootloader) setting, even after burning a new boot loader though. Before burning the bootloader nothing worked...
You are most welcome, thank you for subscribing to Mission Critical
After i upload the code in nano all things works perfectly but after connecting it to my circuit it automatically erase the code in it pls help
Subscribed! I've been dogged by a problem lately that makes sense now that I've seen it. I recently upgraded the IDE to ver. 1.8.9 on Linux. Until that point I was able to upload to my nano clones using the Genuino Uno settings, although for whatever reason, selecting Nano did not work. Watching this video, I got the idea to look at the bootloader and found a new option to use the "old bootloader." Selecting that, along with "Arduino as ISP" under Programmer and now everything works as expected. Thanks for the guidance!
Thank you for subscribing and showing support towards this channel! 😊
Hi there
I don't have a UNO, so I couldn't do the bootloader step.
My Win 11 shows my Nano clone on COM 3, CH341 is installed, baud-rate: 9600
I've tried to make the Nano blink using the example in Arduino IDE 2.1.0 (also 1.8.19).
Board: Arduino Nano
Port: COM3
Processor: ATmega328P (ATmega328P old)
What I see is:
Using Port : COM3
Using Programmer : arduino
Overriding Baud Rate : 115200
avrdude: ser_open(): can't set com-state for "\\.\COM3"
avrdude done. Thank you.
Fehlgeschlagenes Hochladen: Hochladefehler: exit status 1
I've used four cables.
Any advice? Thanks in advance
You, master. I was about to return the boards to amazon. Thanks!!
amazing bro the drive fixed the issue , For me the problem was there was something at com1 so i thought that was the arduino but when i opened device manage i found it wasnt the arduino so i installed the driver and now it works.
Method 4 Bootloading worked perfect for me. Thank you!
Bro! On my nano as i pug in usb all led lights (rx,tx,and power)starts to glow except (L) labeled led .my pc and mobile shows no arduino board found ...please help me out..nano was working recently...please help
I think you burnt your Arduino officially, did you short circuited or may be applied over voltage or something to the board, if yes, it might be damaged else it might be a defective board,
Thank you for subscribing to Mission Critical
Nice. You da man.
I can see you've been round the block with this thing. Thanks
My Arduino nano clone upload sketches normally some some work properly and some stops randomly even though I have tested them on original Arduino uno
It's probably because of bad USB serial communication chip try bootloading else get a new clone
That must have been a pain in the ass. How far into assembly were you, and were you still prototyping when you found the bug? Anyways, I hope you didn't have to use the solder sucker too much!
Hi bro help me :( my arduino uno don't upload:
An error occurred while uploading the sketch
avrdude: stk500_paged_load(): (a) protocol error, expect=0x10, resp=0x00
avrdude: stk500_cmd(): programmer is out of sync
avr_read(): error reading address 0x0000
read operation not supported for memory "flash"
avrdude: failed to read all of flash memory, rc=-2
avrdude: stk500_disable(): protocol error, expect=0x14, resp=0x00
once I connect arduino uno to nano but I cant upload arduino uno individualy now
I got an type c version of clone, even after uploading bootloader it doesn't work
keep getting this error
avrdude: stk500_getsync() attempt 2 of 10: not in sync: resp=0x1c
have checked board is conected in device manager and is on comport 3. but still struggling
Try to change the usb wire
Thank you very much.
It was a driver problem for me
Glad that it helped you🙌
Your videos are good but there is a huge disparity in the audio levels between your voice recording and the music... With the sound level set so I can hear your voice, when the music comes on, my neighbors get an ear full 2 blocks away. :)
hahahaha, first of all thank you so much for supporting me inspite of shortcomings in my videos, but i will really consider this point while editing my future videos, thank you koshus for bringing this glitch into notice.
when i plug in my ardruino nano into my computer it says that the device isnt working properly i have tried switching out cables
planning to make an updated video on this soon, be subscribed to not miss that when its aired! thank you
Thank you so much. This video helped me finally finish my project!
Glad I would help 😊
*Thsnk you sir, I switched to ATmega328p(Old Bootloader) and my nano worked!?* btw What are the bugs on the "old bootloader" you speak of.?
Thank you so much this fixed my problem with my new nano!!!!
i had to do it a couple of times and make sure you reboot the computer to make the changes.
Thank you so much! I got my clones working!
Always happy to help!
And also thank you for subscribing to Mission Critical
Thanks a million... read so many blogs and Instrcatubles and your video (#3) fixed it... thanks
Most welcome
Great overview thankyou ! 5 nano clones now bootloaded 👍
That's great to hear! Do Subscribe to Mission Critical!
Excellent! You've just saved me from taking a hammer to two Nano boards that came without bootloader installed! :-) Thanks!
i boughta cheap arduino nano for school project but it didnt uploat first and now it works. thankyou
I did not know I had to burn the bootloader. Thank you for the nice and helpful tutorial :)
thanks for the help
I followed all the steps, but when "Burl bootloader" says "Invalid device signature." Device signature = 0x000000. Keepek the connection, I uploaded the blink test, both the UNO and NANO blinked.
But the NANO alone is not recognized by windows, no changed in Device Manager. Once it worked, than started to say "Error installing device" and now nothing happens. Is the NANO damaged?
Yes, if you see " invalid device signature" I think your nano is static damaged! , But still try installing drivers in accordance to your USB communication ic!
Thanks a lot for Subscribing! Appreciate your interaction
@@mission_critical Thank you for the fast reply. Have a nice day.
Sure! You too have a great day and hopefully you learnt a thing or two on this channel!

worked for me! just changed the programmer from AVR ISP to Arduino ISP. thnx!
Can you help me with my problem?

Problem uploading to board. See www.arduino.cc/en/Guide/Troubleshooting#upload for suggestions.
Invalid version '1.04' for library in: D:\Documents\Arduino\libraries\arduino_uip-master
Invalid version '1.04' for library in: D:\Documents\Arduino\libraries\arduino_uip-master
First remove your arduino from the module and program it, ( sometimes modules use TX and RX pins of arduino which prevent arduino to code when connected)
If it doesn't works for you, simply try to bootload your Arduino!

I had the bootloader problem thank you so much
my arduino nano board's power led is on but (L) led is not blinking when i plug board.
but i show that the board is connected to the arduino software.
but the programme is not being upload.
please give me a solution how i repair my board?
updated video coming soon, be subscribed !
hello, i m getting an error as "programmer is not responding". Can u help with it? It's really urgnt.
I think you already got your Error fixed! Yet if you face any issue, feel free to comment down! Thank you for subscribing to Mission Critical
Went through each step and still cant get my nanos to upload the ide consistantly. I usually see this error:
avrdude: ser_open(): can't open device "\\.\COM3": Access is denied.
Problem uploading to board. See www.arduino.cc/en/Guide/Troubleshooting#upload for suggestions.
I've gotten the nanos to work a couple times, but they will usually show that error message. After installing the drivers and burning the bootlader with my uno, even the uno will show this error message at times. Any thoughts?
updated video coming soon, please be subscribed, thank you
THANK YOU!!! finaly the 4th problem is my arduino problem im so thankful
I am glad that you at least found out ! Thank you for Subsrcibing To Mission Critical ! Your friendly Tech Team from channel #MissionCritical
I'm unable to upload code from my phone to nano clone. It keeps showing problem uploading to the board. How can I fix it??😞
Thank you so Much, Burning Bootloader Helped me! :)
Hi I tried uploading the bootloader. I am using the latest IDE 2.1.1. And I am getting the error
avrdude: Expected signature for ATmega328P is 1E 95 0F
Double check chip, or use -F to override this check.
Failed chip erase: uploading error: exit status 1
What should be done?
I have the same problem....could not find a solution

As I connect my cable with nano it dont blink what can I do now
Will post a solution soon!
Fist solution worked great! Ty
Glad it helped!
Thanks! This worked!
Glad I was able to help ☺️
This video really helped me and saved me from spending money on a new board thankyou
as you said i installed ch340.. and it showed the port too... the code is not uploading
Try changing your USB cable, many of my subscribers succeeded in this step by changing their usb wire
Very helpful, thank you!! :)
Glad that you found this helpful! Thank you for subscribing to Mission Critical
please, my Arduino Uno is not working, I upload the code but is says 'uploading' but it doesn't says 'done uploading'
Thanks, man it helped!
If anything goes wrong while burning bootloader into NaNo, will it damage my working UNO?
No, luckily Arduino Uno is safe and prone to take those kind of mistakes, just don't over power it, ( don't supply 15 v or so on 5 V pins ) other than that, if you make mistake while bootloading, simply go again and follow the steps again
Taking too long for uploading and at the end it is showing error
When i erase the codes then also showing the same any solutio???
Part 2 of this video coming soon, which will solve most of these problems, be subscribed
thanks a lot bro it works after you told me about the bootloader.
Always welcome
Glad I could help!
thank you for subscribing to Mission Critical
Thanks umpteen times ....
You saved my life 💪🏻😁👍🏻
You are most welcomed 😍,
Don't forget to subscribe to Mission Critical and show some love to my channel it would get if you could share it with your friends too 😊
i did every thing but still i is not showing the proper com port
It's really weird, i have 2 Arduino Nano clones, and i have really weird values on analog pins (even the pot read example throws weird values when moving the Arduino/wires around).
I didn't flash anything/installed the CH340C drivers cause they got recognized as soon as i plugged them in my computer.
Also i'm sure my pots are okay i tested with a multimeter, maybe bad AliExpress wires or just the board itself having problems
Thank you so much Bro Thank you
thanks your a gud teacher bhai, always teach us something new, you will be respected always with love, cheers
Thanks brother now it is working
Ur the goat for having the links in bio 🤝🏾🤝🏾
I have solderder the one side of ale pin to pcb and not souldered it on arduino side is this the reason My arduino nano board is unable to get power supply from battry
i am not sure if i totally understood your problem, can you clarify?
my arduino board is unable to get power supply through pcb battery and working properly whily connected directly throuch laptop..........what can be the reason behind ......is it because i have not souldered header pins on nano board but only on one side i.e.pcb
When I upload my code my computer crashes.. any idea what’s going on there?
I think there must be some problem with your hard disk on computer, definately not Arduino problem, this is simply not possible for Arduino to crash your pc, definitely get your pc checked
Thanks!
Hi in my clone one problem is happened like when ever I connect to the power or laptop its light blinkes and off and it happens again and again...Please help with a solution.
their is no port issue or code uploading issue only it connect and disconnect.After uploading the code it does not runs the light blink and off.
I don't under stand what to do now because no where I don't get this problem solution.
i got 20 of the nano's and i get this on almost all, almost the same error, can you give me some advice?

i think your atmega 328 chip is damaged, else the USB interface ic is not working, if the led is automatically blinking and tx,rx pin doesn't flicker during your uploads, i think you need to get a new arduino board
@@mission_critical i just changed the processor to old boostloader and the uploading was done thank you your video was very helpful
Glad that it worked, because this was a terminal problem! I will make a update video soon! Thank you for bringing this to my notice!
Thank, very well done video
super,, thank you very much for your greatest video in RUclips..
