Firmware update issue

I recently tried to update my board (v3.5 24v) to the new firmware (v4.7 from 4.6). I tried to use the dfu tool and got an error. After this the board would not show up in the Zadig utility in run mode. I power cycled and switched to DFU mode on the board. It then showed up in zadig as STM32 BOOTLOADER. I then went into the anaconda prompt and this is what went down…

The configuration cannot be backed up because the device is already in DFU mode. The configuration may be lost after updating. Do you want to continue anyway? [Y/n]

I then ran it again and got ValueError: The device has no langid

at this point I am very lost…

I got very same error when trying to update to “input-filter” fork of latest firmware. I’m running OSX.

I’m quite lost too…

Unfortunately this is a known issue that we haven’t fixed yet. In the mean-time please try using DfUse or dfu-util as described here.
