Hours to update FW Hex NET

[golfather]

Hi chaps

Any reason why the DS update is taking forever?

Rebooted
Restarted interface
Killed VCDS and restarted

All result in slow updates to DS

ANy help please?

Thanks

This will probably not actually take that long, I would give it twenty minutes and then check what it says. However this does need to write a good chunk of data so it will take a bit of time.

Progress bar is moving, but its been an hour already !

Do you use VCDS-Mobile? If the answer is, No, then you can check the option to skip that update being installed now (which is just data for VCDS-Mobile). The interface firmware itself is looks good to go already.

Yes I clicked skip Mobile and the DS updates did not start. Wasnt sure if it was necessary to use for normal VCDS so i went through the process anyway but thanks for the clarification

Any reason why its taking so long though? Still 4 hours to go !

How long, before this version, was the interface not updated?

You made me interested in testing, with this data it takes less than 2 minutes.

At the same time, I don't have particularly fast internet.

It looks like its working its way progressively through a bunch of DS updates.

48.. 50.. 55.. 57.. 60..

I kind wonder whether you have a lazy SD card in there? Or a dog-slow USB subsystem in your PC?

I don't see a whole bunch of DS updates happening there.

That generally won't be the limitation.

That's right. It's updated regularly.

 

[Uwe]

It's updated regularly.

Looking at the update history on @golfather's HN2, it shipped in 2023 with DS60 in it. The question is, why was it back to 46? That's something of a default reversion. I think there's a way to force it to revert to that and go through all the updates, but I don't remember what it is. I don't use Mobile much...

SD Card? Is that within the interface? Its never been opened but I can replace it if that helps.
USB system ok normally, use this laptop with all sorts of USB drives no issues. Its connected via USB C

Current progress. It was not wrong about the time remaining !

Yes.

I can replace it if that helps.

It needs to be initialized in a particular way. But once this thing is finished, if you can open up the interface, put it in a card reader, and run CHKDSK on it if you want.
