[SOLVED] Firmware Update v0.2.2 Kills the Creator Micro v2

Bugs

SOLUTION: Follow the steps in this document

I’ve just updated the firmware on the Creator Micro v2 (CMv2) to the latest firmware version (v0.2.2 I believe) and even though the software said that the update was successful, after unplugging it, the device won’t turn on anymore at all.

I went through a few TS steps, such as making sure I’ve got a functioning cable to test with plugging it in and then unplugging it. Made sure it’s fully charged, which it seems to be.

SO far, nothing. It’s dead. Bit at a loss now…guess it’s a paperweight now? :(

      IT’S ALIVE!!!

      You’re a beautiful man!

      That totally worked! I feel like the guy in Swordfish (I hope you’ve seen the movie)!

      Oh man, you need to make this guide available to all peeps. They’ll love you.

      Cheers for spending the time to help out, very much appreciated.

      It worked! Thank you Davide, had to uninstall Input on my work mac (intel) because when it searched for the firmware, step 7, it would give me an error and not download anything at all (I’ll leave the image attached in case it’s useful for you guys, macOS Sequoia 15.7.2).

      Was able to use my personal Mac (Silicon) and Input was able to fetch the firmware without issues.


      Much appreciated for the fast help—cheers!

      Hey @Davide // Work Louder


      I have followed the instructions in the PDF reflash guide (about 5 times) and even uninstalled and reinstalled Input. I have done this process on 2 different computers and the device will not power back on (even pushing the internal reset button).

      When I get to that step, the computers make the device connected ding, then the device disconnected chime repeatedly….over and over….constantly… even after pushing the reset button again. I have tried different cables, including the cable sent with the device, different computers, flash, erase, flash again, install, uninstall, reinstall.

      Can you please reach out to me or provide an email where I can get a refund or send the device back for an exchange for a new device. I am not pleased that $160 was wasted.

      Thanks.

    Tried the recommended reset steps in the support section of the CMv2, but sadly nothing has happened. I guess it’s completely dead now. £150 paperweight :( Had high hopes for this.

    If anyone can recommend anything, I would be most grateful.

    Hi, same here.

    Updated this morning to latest version of Input (V.0.12.5) and latest FCM firmware (v0.2.2) and since then I can connect it through BLE but input can’t recognise it properly and it doesn’t work at all. No lights, stuck at layer 1, holding power on/off button doesn’t show an orange under glow if I hold for 10 seconds (like mentioned in the support page) & pressing the reset button under the PCB doesn’t seem to work either.

    With the previous firmware, 0.2.1 dirty, it was working through cable without a problem. BLE was finicky though.

      I was able to use mine for like 30-40min but then it says on input “No device found”

      Have you managed to fix it?

    Hi, my device arrived this morning.

    I updated to latest firmware and have been using it for a few hours. It reset a few times but eventually came back on.

    Now it isn’t turning back on.

    I followed the steps in the document but still, nothing. I ran through all the steps including reinstalling the firmware through input but the final reset button press does not do anything.

    Please can I get some support? @Davide // Work Louder

    I am having similar issues to those described in the thread.

    It started with the device going into some kind of bootloop where Input would detect the device and not detect over and over again. At which point I tried to re-install the firmware through Input.

    Eventually I decided to follow the process described in the reflash guide. After eventually getting the device into bootloader mode, Input seems to be unable to flash the firmware, simply presenting the error screen with Firmware version 0.0.0.

    Would appreciate some help on this.

    I may have fixed it. It seems that the USB that comes with the Micro controller, V2 may have a defect in it. I had to use a high-end SSD transfer USB-C to USB-C cable to finally get it to work. This was after multiple tries with the provided cable we'll see. I've only had it working for 10 minutes now, but I will update if it failed.
