Question:
I have a little problem updating firmware for Icom. Just to make story clear, i dont have too much experience with BMW Diagnostic Software and hardware, so maybe there some new issue with new version that i dont know. With older version i did make firmware update without problem.
I have installed ISTA D and ISTA P (ISTA-D 4.10.20,ISTA-P 3.64.0.600,SDP 4.10.21,BLP 4.10.21).
Not myself, with help of a guy that is also part of this forum.
Installation seems okey, but when i open ISTA-D and it detects the interfase i have “FIRMWARE” at the right of the screen, like when i need to update firmware.
I found my old instruction to update firmware, and found the files in the installation folder:
ICOM-A1-A2-A3-Image-03-15-02.7z
Make all the process to update firmware, from 169.254.92.38:60080. First SYSTEM, then APPLICATION, no reboot between.
The system say all is okey, flash process finished…. but when i restart the device i have same old firmware and same problem
What im missing here?? Please i need some advice. Thanks!!
