Mini Firmware Will Not Update

I am at my wit's end here as to why the Mini firmware will not update, and I am hoping that somebody can help me out. My Mini is currently on 4.0.5 and I am trying to get it updated to 4.1.0. I have download the firmware both directly from Github and from Prusa's driver website (separate sticks and separate attempts. I have reset it with the USB in and tried from within the menu, nothing is working. Other then this issue it is brilliant and I love it, please help.

RE: Mini Firmware Will Not Update

Do you mean it is not giving you the option to flash the new firmware? Try this: as you reset the Mini with the USB in, when the first screen comes up, double click the scroll wheel. This is how you get it to recognize a previous version of firmware (if you wanted to downgrade), but maybe it will help in your case.

If that fails, maybe roll back to an older version (or re-flash 4.0.5) then try and update again.

RE:

This may have to do with the firmware version, which is now on your mini.

If it is lower than version 4.4.1 then you cannot flash the latest updates.

You will need to install version 4.4.1 before you can continue updating.

RE: Mini Firmware Will Not Update

I am currently running the 4.4.1 firmware. I have been unable to get the printer to update to 5.1.0. I have tried multiple USBs. It won't even revert to any other version I try to flash to it. Could it really just be the USBs? The printer can see the USBs and print from them, but no update ever starts when I reboot. I have checked the setting too on the Mini FW Update Setting.

Can anyone help? Which .bbf file in the 5.1.0 firmware zip is english? OR do all six unzipped files get loaded onto the usb for the final step in this final step of the mini v4.1 to v5.1 firmware update!?

The five files are each bilingual.

CS = Czech language

DE = German language

ES = Spanish language

FR = French language

IT = Italian language

PL = Polish language

EN = English language

So if you wish to use English menus, you can put one of the six files on your usb stick.

RE: Mini Firmware Will Not Update

I fixed my issue, I went from 3 something to 5.1.0. on my Mini

You have to update in steps. I would do each one, as some have a boot loader update. As mine would not auto update, I pressed the reset button and spam clicked the selector nob, and got it to update. Took about 30min to do all, but was well worth it
