Did you put the new Firmware into the 'firmware' folder of the card?
Do you hold the correct buttons like with or before power on? SHIFT + COPY + CURSOR UP... it must enter the Bootloader mode. First off let me answer your questions yes the .Hex file was in the firmware folder. But today I checked the folder and it appeared to be empty so I put a .Hex file in it and it then showed 2 pages but still showed 2.22 in the folder. But today instead of the download blue box I get a red box and it says
"Drive handle invalid try again" and yes I am hollding the three buttons down shift +copy+ cursor up on power. What can I say its beyond me.
I don't get it. First the NerdSEQ can't delete any files, so i am not sure why the firmware folder was empty.
Also i don't understand the '2 pages / showed 2.22 in de folder'.
If the correct file 'nerdseq.hex' is in the firmware folder, then the startup should recognise the file for flashing. If there is the red box in the first place, keep holding the buttons until it has restarted by itself again, if they are still error messages after like 2-3 continous startups, it might make sense to re-format the SD card (backup the content before, format and copy back) or even replace it.

Just Fat or Fat32 are ok. But if it works when you keep holding the buttons, then all is OK and no need to re-format.

Hi! Excited about this new firmware. I updated from 1.14 RC (update went fine), however, and none of my old tracks will load. They all reboot the Nerd. Is there something I missed?

You used the V1.14 stable before? These should load i think. Projects from the RC are normally not supported.

Oh, no I upgraded directly from RC...
Wait.. are you telling me all the music I wrote on RC will never be able to be played on any future firmwares??  Is there a way to convert those to a usable format? I unfortunately have a ton of stuff I wrote on RC

Man, i mentioned several times that the Release Candidates are not for productive use and that i can only guarantee compatibility between stable versions. Mentioned on the RC thread and also on this thread here.
Anyway before getting mad, they are 2 solutions for it.
1: Load with the RC version and make photos of the patterns so you can manually copy them ( only if these are small projects).
2: If these are this mega big projects, i offer to upgrade the project files. This takes me also some time which i can't use elswhere then. So use with caution...
...I got to disable saving with Releace Candidates the next time ;-)
So nothing is lost :dancing banana:

Well I have tried every sugestion you gave and no luck. I bought a sandisc 32g card put the software on and nothing.Formated both cards nothing put the card in at every micro-angle to make sure everything was touching well you get the idea. I have not seen tv since I got this. This should have take 20 min tops i'm on 20 hrs. I need some sage like advice Mr. Wizard.

It should be a job of 2 minutes normally and i expect it to work.( Because thats how i put the software on your NerdSEQ in the first place).
I think a 32GB card could also be a problem.(Doesn't have to) I would normally recommend 1 - 8 GB cards formated with either FAT or FAT32.
I'll get in touch with you to solve your problem.

Oh it's OK, I'm not actually mad - I should have just paid better attention. Sorry about that! It's really only one large file that houses an entire live set : can probably live with losing the other work, or re-track it. I know you don't have much time but I may just send it to you anyway for whenever you can get to it. Otherwise, I can always just revert to the 1.14RC to perform it live.
Quick question, if I create a file in the new firmware, will I be able to open it in 1.14RC? Like, is the incompatibility both ways or could I track on the new firmware and perform those on an RC?
