Error code 43 during firmware update

DHP1985
in RF60 Problems
Greetings,

Updating an RF60 from V2.00 to V2.05 using Cactus Updater V3.04.  Updater detects the flash just fine but while sending the new firmware it stops with Error Code 43.  I did try on different computers just to make sure it wasn't the computer having the issue.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Sorry to hear about this.  This error means there was a problem with the firmware installation.

    Are you able to still power on the flash and use normally?

    You could also hold down the NEXT button while switching on the unit to check the firmware version.  Since the installation did not complete I think it should be running on v2.00.

    There could also be a problem with the hardware of your RF60, which caused the error code. If you are still unable to update its firmware please send it to us for a check up.

    Thank you.

    Hi Antonio,

    I am able to power on and use the flash normally.  I even tested for use wirelessly, it worked.

    I checked the version, it's still the same at V2.00.  I tried to update again, fails with error code 43 like before.  Can you please send complete shipping info?  I will send it ASAP.

    Antonio,

    I tried to ship the RF60 out today.  I was very shocked at the price to ship, I could have purchased a new RF60X.

    Do you think this is the better option??

    Mike

    Did you ask USPS to give you the cheapest mailing option? 

    From our experience, international priority costs around $24. It should also include a tracking number, just takes longer to arrive.

    It's on it's way!  Thanks for the help.  BTW, our postal forms don't allow for large addresses   Really had to squeeze it all in.

    Keep your eye out for this.

    Again, thanks for your help.

    Mike

  • AntonioAntonio
    Great! We will look out for your package.

    And yes, the mailing address is quite long, thanks to the building name.

    Thank you.

    Hey Mike,

    We received your RF60 and were able to update the firmware without any problem.

    I suspect its your mini-USB cable that's causing the hiccups?

    We will send your RF60 back later today via registered airmail. Will PM the tracking number later.

    Thank you.

    I hope to help anyone having the same problem. I am pretty sure that this problem has nothing to do with cables and although it's due to a driver problem, is not about what explained above, at least on Windows 10:

    the problem is due to the drivers not be correctly signed. I am not sure why Cactus didn't fix this problem yet not even with the latest update of the updater as I think I communicated the issue to them.

    In order to fix the issue, you need to disable the signing check of your drivers. Please follow this link for explanations:

    writing this post also for me, as it's the second time I forgot the real issue and I spent one hour to try to remember how I fixed it the first time.
