Belphe Posted October 30, 2016 Posted October 30, 2016 Hi, I upgraded my PC and installed ASUS Maximus VIII Formula Z170 ROG motherboard. When installing my devices I also decided to run a firmware update on my HOTAS Warthog. Unfortunately, having the Joystick connected to USB 3.0 port it failed and it is showing as [bOOT] Hotas Warthog Joystick - Firmware: 0... I've been reading about the potential fix for two days now and it pretty much comes down to plugging the device into USB 2.0 and running the firmware update again. I found that my motherboard has an on-board USB 2.0 connector into which I have plugged in a 2-port USB extension. Unfortunately, all I'm getting during the update is the Main Firmware progress bar go from 0 to 100% four times and a red cross of failure... I have opened the joystick and checked if there were any obvious signs of mechanical damage but it all looked good to me. What's worth mentionong is that the Throttle works fine and updated correctly to firmware ver.23 even being connected to USB 3.0 port. I am no expert but I suspect this to be 99% software vs. 1% mechanical issue. If I could only get the device from being HOTAS Joystick Bootloader to a Joystick - HOTAS Warthog... Please, if you have ANY ideas share them with me. Your help is much appreciated. -Belphe Never say never, Baby! [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]

BitMaster Posted October 31, 2016 Posted October 31, 2016 1: use usbdeview and clean all WH entries from your known usb devices --reboot into bios 2: set your boot mode to FAST and USB-PARTIAL-INIT ( fixes many X99 USB hiccups ) 3: Plugin WH at a USB2 port and try again If you own another device, aka Dell Laptop etc... try on that one too if above fails.

Belphe Posted November 1, 2016 Author Posted November 1, 2016 I got it to work by trying all this on my friend's PC with USB 2.0 port. Funny thing, the joystick showed up as Firmware 11 STRAIGHT AWAY after plugging it in... I did the firmware update and it all went through fine (3 green ticks). I've been flying ever since... ;) Thank you all for help! Never say never, Baby! [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
