Original Kickstarter MOD Duo, can't upgrade - File corrupted

Hi, I have an original Kickstarter MOD Duo which I’ve never upgraded. If I go to System, its value is fbbfb5f. Not sure if there is any other information that would be useful to give. I can reach the Pedalboard UI but I think it is before the built-in auto update functionality there. I’ve tried upgrading it via the Releases page on the wiki, but no matter what I always get File Corrupted when I put the tar file on the MODDUO device drive. Here’s the kicker though, I looked at the other threads that point out how the upgrade system changed and how this tar file will work with anything: Release 1.0.0 (Release Candidate #1) however not even this tar works for me. I still get file corrupted. I think I might need some assistance?

Did you ever solve this issue? I’m experiencing the same issue now

wow 6 years I forgot all about this. No I never got this resolved

Shoot! Well, thanks for the quick reply. I’m having the same issue… if I manage to figure it out, I’ll let you know!

I figured it out! I had to run a factory reset, which worked - now I’m on the latest software!

To be clear for anyone else trying to retrace my steps:

  1. I followed the factory reset instructions, which mean reflashing it using the listed factory reset image (right now, that’s v1.13.4)
  2. Note that it took maybe 7 minutes with red LEDs on after I safely removed / unplugged the USB - longer than I expected, but with patience it eventually rebooted into the updated software!
  3. Then, I followed the normal upgrade process to get to v1.13.5 (the latest as of now)
