I successfully upgraded firmware until Version 7. I however never succeeded going to 8. For months I always got the "transfer error" message at the end of the process with the Axe going back to 7. As I suspected that the problem was linked to Axe Edit, I decided to wait for the new editor to be made available. But this was months ago and as Axe Edit seems to be still some weeks away, I tried to update with Midi Ox. I really want to access the new scenes feature. I used the tutorial as posted by Stratamania (early this month). It was as clear as possible ... but...
For months I have been reading all posts related to Midi Ox and Firmware upgrading and I took notes ...I use a PC loaded with Windows 7. I uninstalled/reinstalled the Fas USB driver, uninstall/reinstalled twice Midi Ox, set Midi Ox on 128 bit/16 and set milliseconds between buffers to 60, uninstalled completely Axe Edit, downloaded a fresh copy of 9.02, reboot the axe and switched it off/on after each trial, switched of the pc and restarted it before each trial, stopped any other activity on the PC during the transfer, MFC disconnected from AXE... without any success. The axe screen shows the "file transfer" with a progress bar that hardly moves (after the end of the transfer, at the end of the process, the bar is about one third of the horizontal line). The process itself (before aborting) takes about 25'.
After five trials today, I am still in 7 (which at least allows me to continue to use the axe) and I have exhausted my resources. I do not know what else to do/test. Months ago I contacted the FAS support and was told that this was an Axe Edit issue, but apparently my problem is different.
I am close to ignorant in terms of PC and Windows and most probably I am missing something possibly obvious. While I love 7, I now want to get access to the new features and also upgrade my MFC.
Any guess ? (I know that there are many posts adressing this type of issue but I searched the forum without any success in finding what is wrong on my setup).
Thanks already.
