How to upgrade Devo TX to Deviation Firmware

dononeness wrote: I just bought a new DEVO 10 (white) and a 3-in-1 multiple protocol from Banggood.
After installing the protocol onto my DEVO, I download the firmware (deviation-devo7e-v5.0.0-S-FHSS.zip) from here and upgrade my DEVO with firmware upgrade tool (DevoDfuSe_v1.7) via the USB cable.
The upgrade tool showed the upgrade process is successful. I closed the tool and turned off the DEVO.
When I turned it back on (hold down the ENT ans switch the power on) to try to copy files from the zip file "deviation-devo7e-v5.0.0-S-FHSS.zip" to the DEVO hard drive, no display on the DEVO screen and no DEVO hard drive opened on my computer. I have tried over and over but the DEVO screen is completely dead. I don't know what happened and how to fix it. My DEVO is brand new and now it is dead, no power, no screen, no display just dead!!! PLEASE HELP.

please dont post the same thing multiple times, you have 2 threads already posted plus this.

you should be able to reflash the correct firmware, you need the devo10 firmware, not 7e. Download the correct firmware.

power up your devo connected to pc the same way as instructed to flash firmware. run the updater tool with the correct file, as i said in the other thread someone else did this and was able to flash the correct firmware )

Hold EXT and power it on, and do the firmware upgrade.

Once done, power of and hold ENT and power on, now you should get USB icon

Um, yeah, you installed the firmware for the Devo 7E on your 10. I'm impressed that you got it to install at all.

Get the version for the Devo 10. I'd recommend starting with the release build, and not a developer test build, just to minimize the sources for problems in the initial install. If you really want FHSS, you can go to the test build later.

bazsound - I am so sorry to post the same topic in multiple threads. I am so desperate.

Deal57 suggested me to remove the battery and leave it for 1/2 hour to clear the issue. It works. I am able to get back to the Program Update screen again of the TX but the upgrade tool can not find the connection to the TX to re-flash the correct firmware. Also the Program Update screen won't stay long neither, about 1 minute and it die again and I have to remove the battery and wait for it to clear.

mwm - you are correct. The wrong firmware seems to cause the USB connection issue and make the re-flash the correct firmware impossible now.

Thank you very much. That was it!

is anyone able to show me where I can find the devo 7e 2.0 upgrade tool? or can send me the link?
I would really appreciate it.

Hi,

I followed all of the step by step instructions in your tutorial, however when I went to the unzipped deviation devo7e file, it doesn't recognize a dfu file. I see a deviation emu file

You downloaded the wrong zip archive. The emu files are emulators to run on Windows. You need the zip archive without the emu in the name.

I am not able to see my f12e in dfuse, I tested all versions and reinstalled the drivers and does not appear ... who can help me?

Hello and good evening to all deviation fans,

i bought an Devo 7E TX for using with DSM2 protokoll für my little quads.
But there is an problem to install deviation on my Devo TX. I loaded Vers. 5.0 and unziped to my desctop. Even Dfuse 2.3.1.
I have 3 USB to mini cables at home.
When i open DFUSe and install it, then i connect the cables to TX and PC ( Windows 10)- then press EXT button and Powerswitch on the display shows Update but - there is no connection between Dfuse and my TX, the same fact with all my cables! So i am not able to install the deviation firmware Who can help me with this problems??

Please help me, i`d like to fly soon

Most likely you are having driver problems. The best option is to not use Windows since those are unique to it, but that's difficult or impossible for most people, so...

Have you installed the driver? If not, you want the driver installer from www.deviationtx.com/downloads-new/category/161-dfu-usb-tool . Instructions are in the manual under "Installation with dfuse".

If you have installed the driver, go to the device manager and see if you can see the dfu device there. If you don't see it at all, then I believe it's a hardware problem. If you do see it, then report that back here so some of the Windows people can help.

So many thanks to mwm,

this was my problem. Your answer helped my, so i have to say "you made my day"
Deviation V 5.0 is running - and i am happy.
"so must forum"
My next projekt is soldering multiprotokoll.
I wish you all a nice day

specially to mwm

New guy here, just got a Devo 7e to fly my micro quads and I'm trying to figure out the Deviation firmware upgrade. I watched Tom Z's tutorial video and tried to follow it step by step but the Walkera website no longer has a "service" tab. So where do I find the drivers, etc. that I need to get this done? Is there another tutorial somewhere?

Thanks in advance!

Did you check the Downloads menu on the left side of the page? If you need something that's not there, please let us know what it is you're looking for and we can try to point you in the right direction.

Welcome to Deviation, and happy flying!
