now, i have resetted the configuration for FDT and the error is the previous one:

Clock Frequency (External) = 24.0000MHz, Clock Mode = 0, CKM = 1, and CKP = N/A

ok, this is nuts!!!! the errors are not the same, all time! I can't get the situation of the process if this continues.... :S

[dead_devil_66]

sometimes it says "time out", others just "download failed", others it says the 21 seconds warning. Serious, is vci firmware upgrade worser than women menstrual cycle ending??!!

ok, its impossible, for me, to find the problem with this. Without help, im dead in the water. DJtt staff, hello?

btw, will a 128 kpbs USB-to-serial cable do the job? Or the speed is a big issue?

Maybe this is the problem? I used a Dynex serial to USB cable from Best Buy and it seemed to work.

btw, in the video, ean says, in a commentary box, that the lights should flush, when in boot mode. Which lights? When i connect the kit and turn on the vci (connected to the laptop), no lights flush.... :S
