Not impressed with this update. Seems to break more then it fixed...
Well that didnt work. had high hopes as i got 40-50 minutes past the FW update - but no. Froze on a patch change. This was after 8 hours of playing on FW5.04b with no issues whatsoever.
Unless I get something back from G66, Im staying with FW5.07b. First time Ive had issues since updating to FW4.something on my old Standard.
*Edit* - this time it scared my because its taken 5 power resets, with a minute or two between off/ons to get it working again.
I've had my first freeze ever with firmware 5.07.
But in my case it was at power up. Recycled the power and it came back no problem.

that can happen on occation. It happens before the firmware even loads.

I don't think so... I've upgrade from 5.04 to 5.07 (and 5.05 and 5.06 non-public releases in between) and also to AE 273. NO lockups, and just [now] got back from a 3+ hr rehearsal where it was in use the whole time.Man, if you are on 504b @AE 272.
Should we be sitting tight ?

Java, Ill download tomorrow (bedtime right now in the UK). that last list of "to dos" you posted didnt include restoring my own patches. Could it be id need to re-do them from scratch? that would NOT be good.
i didnt have Axe-Edit open as i only use it for FW updates. The only thing i didnt do was a power cycle after I re-sent the banks, but it had one after the first freeze and I still got a second.
Dont think its the MFX either, never had an issue with any other FW apart from 5.07. I know it seems that Im the only one experiencing this - but ice checked everything i can think of. Ive had no patch corruption, all my settings seem the same as always, I dont run Axe-Edit open, the freezez stop when I revert to 5.04 and re-occur with 5.07. Ive re-downloaded the Zip file twice and get the same issue. Ive factory re-set then reloaded the FW5 banks (mine came loaded with 5.01 anyway so were alredy the correct ones). the freezez happen randomly but have occurred on patch change via MFC, patch change via AE, with my own presets, with a factory preset, with an IA change and also with no changes just as i was playing to a BT. That accounts for the 4 freezes Ive had to date.
The only thing I can think of that has been mentioned (and that i havent already tried) is i have the USB permanently attached due to having a patch panel on the rear of the rack. Its not permanently connected to the PC but it is to the AFX. Not sure how this would affect things (particularly as I dont get the freezes on any other FW state) but I guess anythings worth trying.
Hi, I followed Javajunkie's "how to" update post. After I updated to 5.0.7 my unit locked up every time I turned it on, regardless of what presets it was on. And sometimes it locked up on the "Axe FX II" banner that comes up during start up.
Never even made it to a full preset load. Once, when it didn't lock up on start up. I reset the unit again. Played for a few minutes. Then the meters froze and no sound! This is my second attempt at 5.0.7. I would say this firmware has an issue. Well, at least for me. I kept restarting till I got it in to the utility mode and managed to load 5.0.4 back in. And everything works fine. Just thought I 'd share.
