Error 5 after flashing

Post by g4ugm »

Folks,
Flashed a GoTek with the loader. It comes up LDR. Pop in a USB stick with the ".upd" file on and the display flashes then error 5. Tried a couple of USB sticks and a couple of software versions. Gotek has had FlashFloppy on before could that cause the issue?

> Error 5 : (blink 5 time and 2 seconds pause cycle) Bad UPD File header! (bad file)

I think that you have an non-hxc upd file on your stick. remove any other upd file from the stick and copy the hxc firmware upd file to the stick.

I used a clean empty stick.

mhhh which file are you using ?

Can you make a video of the issue ? I am not sure anymore what you call "error 5"

The upd files to use are in this archive :

Yes I use that zip.
Error 5 is a flashing "005" in the Gotek LED 3-digit 7-segment display.

Ok, that's very very odd.

Try to reflash again the bootloader with the hxc flasher. (your gotek is already registered so no need to have a new license).
