Devo 7E - problem installing Deviation v5

Hello. I put this post in category "Stock firmware help" but that may have been the wrong forum area. I am very new to RC.

Have just bought Devo 7E and attempted to install deviation v5.0 using Java Uploader. I have a macbook OS Sierra 10.12.6.

I noticed the Firmware slot remained empty despite trying to browse and fill. The zip file location would only go in filesystem slot. The check boxes were ticked but only Library size had anything in it. All firmware info was empty as was Library Version.

It seemd to install and java completed. But when the TX was un-plugged from USB - switched off then back on - the screen showed a scrambled image (photo attached) and the TX gave a constant repetitive beep. That is how it now remains.

I thought about re-doing the walkera firmware but I understand that can only be done using windows DFU USB tool.

Can anybody help please?

Eh.. did you flash the .zip instead of unpacking the firmware and flashing the actual firmware file?

Thanks for reply ... it is appreciated.

I followed the instructions in the Deviation User Manual for 7E :

" Press the ‘…’ button and select the zip file for the firmware you will install. There is no need to unpack the zip file since the Deviation Uploader will handle that."

Do you think I should try to unzip the folder? If so how does it unpack the necessary files?

Thanks again

Ah, sorry.. I wasn't aware that the java uploader is supposed to automatically unzip the file.
I'd still try to unpack the file manually (you need some sort of zip compatible tool for mac), then manually select the firmware .bin file and attempt to flash that.

What was the name of the zip file you tried to flash?

Thanks for interest.

It was named: deviation-devo7e-v5.0.0.zip
