Diagnose firmware update in Windows - posssss/portapack-mayhem GitHub Wiki

If you cant get firmware to update/install on your device do these steps.

Try boot into DFU mode by:

  1. Plug device into computer
  2. Press and HOLD the DFU button, While still holding the DFU button, press and release the reset button (WHILE STILL HOLDING THE DFU BUTTON).

Note : in some particular H2 (ex H2R4 with battery ), reset button does not make a proper reset , it just freeze the screen , and do not allow you to enter in DFU . In that case, unplug it from the computer, switch off the unit with two short pushes to the big encoder knob button (power off). And then keep pressing DFU button , a short push button to the encoder knob button (power on) leads you into a proper DFU Mode. And now you can plug it through USB cable to the computer, and continue with process.
