p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Godox XT1 transmitter fails to update firmware


I just received my XT1 transmitter with firmware version 14. I have downloaded the G1 installer and the correct firmware ver 17 fir upgrade. When I connect the transmitter to my USB port on both a desktop Win 10 and a laptop win 7 both have an error message " Cannot connect XT1". Anyone have any suggestions what might wrong? I have tried two different micro USB cable without success.

Turn the XT1 off. I know it's counterintuitive, but what you describe is exactly what I experienced.

Yes, make sure it is off and follow the posted link instructions. I even removed the batteries in the units. The new G1 software makes life a little easier to update the firmware over the previous method. I updated all of my X1t's, (5), 360II's, and 860II's last night on a Microsoft Surface Pro 4 with no problem.

Turn all of the Godox devices off before you connect them to your computer.

Also, if you don't see the two green check marks for successfully installed the Godox USB Devices Driver, then you'll need to restart your computer with the option to disable signed driver enforcement and do the G1 installation again.

I had no problem updating my V860iiS. However I'm not able to update my XITS using the same USB cable that I used for the V860iiS. I turned off the device, removed the batteries and pressed the test button. I then used G1 to select the update file and message was displayed: Loading completed. Matching product XIT-S. Then I pressed Upgraded and message was displayed: Erase Failed, Upgrade failed.

Any suggestions?

Re-boot your computer and do the process before you load anything else.

I get the idea the X1 drivers for the G1 software are a little wonky. This worked for me.

I've been trying to get the firmware updated for two months on my XT1-n and no go. I just tried turning off the XT1 and even removing the batteries and still no go.

I've tried it in a Windows machine runing Windows 10 and on a Mac with VMFusion emulation software and Windows XP. I think I may try sending it back to CheetaStand to see if they will update it for me.

Finnally, after two different computers, two different operating systems and three micro USB cables I got it to install. It was the third cable, one that I got with my Sony a7rII that finally worked.

I kept getting the same error as well and it turned out to be the cable.

I ran into a connection error using G1 to update my Godox V860IIs. Based on this thread, I tried four different cables. That didn't work.

But the steps outlined at http://andjelicnikola.com/index.php/blog/35-godox-error did work.
