Get OpenTX Companion here: www.open-tx.org/2021/01/08/op...
Get the most recent version of SD card contents here for your radio: downloads.open-tx.org/2.3/rel...
Get Zadig here: zadig.akeo.ie
My Taranis was running very slow between menus and this video helped me fix my issue.
Thanks for your video! A buddy wanted me to update his old X9D Taranis so he could use a Spektrum Hack module. It turned out it was on Version 1.1.02 just like yours. It's been a long time since I fooled with a Taranis without a bootloader, but your video brought back memories of using Zadig to get things going, and I was able to jump all the way from 1.1.02 up to 2.3.15 successfully. Great job!
Glad I could help.
Love the sound of an ender printing away in the background. Great video mate.
Thanks! That sound is unmistakable lol
I didn't know the latest companion even worked with these old x9d's. I ended up with one just like yours. Thanks!
Glad to help!
Great tutorial! My daily driver is the X9D+... I connect it to the Companion every once in a while to back up my quad profiles. Never know when it's gonna decide to crap out.
Thanks! It’s a great radio. I wanted one when I got into the hobby, but got an X9 lite instead. I couldn’t find a tutorial anywhere to update without a bootloader, so I figured I’d make one.
thank you for this video. You help me a lot.
Anytime! Always glad to help.
Now that's a flash back.
Great tutorial!!!
You showed all the steps that "The expert missed"
Thanks
But one question...
My firmware upload comes up with "New firmware is not compatible with the one currently installed!"
I have a Taranis - plus and downloaded the ( Taranis X9D Plus 2019) firmware update version 210208. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Again, your instructions are Awesome!!!
I need to try Zidag incorrectly flashed my XD9+ 2019 and all I get is blue screen won’t go passed that. I tried the three button , connecting straight to pc, and STM32 Bootloader and still no luck. I’m guessing it’s ruined haven’t ran into anyone or videos with my issue. Seen some close to it but feels like they leave something out. Anyone have any suggestions? Or Tips?
Great Video Thanks I have a question about Mac, The Zadig USB driver says windows Only... Is the any another. you know of for mac. Or what I should search for thank you!!
Unfortunately I wasn’t able to get it working with a Mac. I had to use my Windows machine. Once the Taranis was initially updated, I was able to flash future updates with my Mac.
Yes I was having issues with mac as well
My Old Taranis X9D+ from 2015 will not show up in Windows 11 ?? Does not matter what I do , the radio(when in bootloader mode) does not show in my PC ..Tried everything like in the video with Zadig etc ?? The TX shows USN connected but nothing is on the PC or in Device Manager ?? HELP PLEASE !! LOL
Great. I just bricked my X9D doing this! OK,, I luckily had an older version of Companion and files on my old computer and was able to flash the old firmware back on it. I also saved my model files before trying this, so I loaded those back up and all is well. However, I am wondering,,,, Did I need the SD card files as well to allow it to boot up after this procedure?
I have the same problem my x9d will not boot anymore but i have not a backup can you help me please sent me your backup from you x9d Tony
@@dianaboshuizen9409 How do I send it to you? I don't know if you want to put your email up here.
@@dianaboshuizen9409 Actually you can just download the older version. It's still available. Then Reload it to your Taranis.
I have fixe the problem thank you for the fast response Tony
my radio dont switch on i get a lock symbol a stay pressed then get a guy with ZZ and radio get off again
Going to Try this when I get home! Right now my x9d plus won't bind with any receivers since I flashed a firmware recently(possibly wrong one). I'll share updates once I begin the solution Thanks!
Anytime!
@@TitanFPV Should I have any specific .frk file in my firmware folder on the SD card? Thnx for your help
if I remember correctly, the latest XJT firmware is from 2017. You should be able to get it from FRSKY’s website.
@@TitanFPV does this give the option for crossfire as a build option? trying to get that working for my external ELRS module with nightlies firmware, but can't get that option to appear. THANKS!!!
@@digitalrs_pro You should be able to create a model, and set the external module to CRSF. ELRS uses CRSF protocol.
Bonjour, est ce que vous pouvez me proposer un récepteur compatible avec cette radiocommande et qui a 12 canaux ou plus?
Hi, when I write firmware I get the message 'could not check firmware from radio', any help/suggestions please?
Sounds like your computer isn’t recognizing the device. May need reinstall the drivers, and try again.
@@TitanFPV I tried the whole process through a laptop and it worked, wouldn't work on PC but now both read/write so who knows. drivers were updated.
Ok so how do I get my Mac to even recognize my radio ? I plug it in and nothing happens. USB setting doesn't show it?
I wasn’t able to flash the bootloader via my Mac, so I had to use a PC. Once I flashed the bootloader, my Mac was able to see it.
I think I'm just going to get a USB dongle
Or a USB 2.0 hub. I'm just trying to fly a simulator right now. It'll be another month or so until I'm doing building my drone. And by then I hope to have a radio master boxer
Tried all the Bardwell videos & got nowhere with updating.
Tried the Project Blue Falcon clips & no luck.
Followed THIS clip & finally updated OpenTX.
NOW however, ALL my fleet now need re-binding & their fail-safes resetting.
To top it off, Im reminded every time of the kick-in-the-nuts by the stupid grating trying-to-be-cute not-child voice emanating from my radio.
EVERYTHING I fear about updating something that works has now come to fruition & there's NO support other than forums filled with malicious elitist fan-bois that delight in misdirecting others for their own self gratification.
I now cant fly ANYTHING & I dont know how to fix it.
NOW it looks like I need to drive 3hours to drop radio off at a business & then drive back a week later to pick it up & pay more than I paid for my x9d+ SE new!
Money that I can no longer afford.
Cheers for your help, but unfortunately 'Open Source' software is NOT open enough for noobs & the computer illiterate.
Glad you got it updated, and sorry you are having issues. The update shouldn't have anything to do with the binds of the internal module. You should be able to set up a model and choose the intenal xjt module and protocol. Then you should be able to change the model to the correct id, ie 00 or 01. The bind should function at this point. Hope this helps.
