Devo 7E upgrading to 5.0

So I'm trying to upgrade to 5.0 from an old version of 4 something.. (It's probably been a year since I even looked at it).

I am using a different laptop running Windows 7. I downloaded pretty much everything. I tried to install the drivers using the DFU USBDrv Installer-1.1 but:
1) When I try to load the Walkera drivers all I get is a blank message box - no words, nothing, pretty much immediately after clicking the button.

2) I eventually got it to load the Deviation drivers.

So I ran the DeviationUpload-0.8.0.jar file.. I held in EXT and turned on the 7E. Plugged in the cable. Driver Software installation pops up, STM DFU (WinUSD) installed. Devo 7e shows up in the uploader tool... all going well so far...

I click the ... for the firmware and pick the deviation-emu_devo7e-v5.0.0.zip file that I downloaded.

Doing so populates the Filesystem text box.. ? Kind of strange. Anyway, I tried doing the upgrade with the install library, replace, etc.. (after I copied the files from my Tx into a separate directory for reference)

All I got was a msg box saying 'Files Copied'.

Ok, the manual for the 7e says all should be fine - I turn off the tx, turn it back on and notice that it still says 4.xxx

I tried this several times and no joy.

Eventually, I tried ticking the Format button - still, nothing besides, 'File copied'

Eventually I screwed around long enough and was able to get it to format - but the file system on the tx was something like 2 megs and there were a bunch of files on there (i forget the file extension - but none of the folders or normal .ini files..

I tried a bunch of things and now I'm just lost with a tx that does nothing.. I turn it on - nada. USB via windows shows no files. I can't get it to do anything but 'copy' files - and when I do it says they are 0 bytes.

I'm lost, I don't know what to do at this point.. Help?

you need to extract the zip file and flash the *.dfu file that's inside. maybe have a re-read of the manual to refresh your memory bud

I was following the manual as I was doing it. The manual says, 2.4, #1, press the ... button and select the zip file since Deviation Uploaded will handle that.

Am I looking at the wrong manual?

Also, I just looked, there is no .dfu in the 5.0 zip.

you've downloaded the emulator build bud, you need the 7e version without 'emu' in it's name, and I didn't notice you were using the java uploader

Not shure about your writing but

is definitely wrong, it's a funny windows game to play with the deviation GUI without MCU flashig procedure.

Nevertheless your result looks straight same like mine, "Files copied" and Devo remains in DFU state

Meanwhile I checked the jar on Ubuntu , too, with DFU package installed..same result

I needed to remove all files and install the Walkera stuff..

OMG. Thanks.

Yeah, I tried to use the Walker and one but the driver installer just pops up a blank message box.

Just for the record, the EMU code on the 7E includes the GUI editor, so you can use it to edit GUI models. Can't do that on a 7E proper.

Thanks all, once I downloaded the right file all worked perfectly. Now I'm trying to get my cx-10 W working and not having much luck. But that's a post for a different thread I guess!
