Update fantom g from 1.03 to 1.5

Post by MrMellotron »

Good morning, i Just bought a Roland fantom g6. I’d like to update the os to 1.5, now running 1.03.
I followed step by step this procedure as suggested:

1) download 2 file.bin
2) formatted 2 flash drive with fantom (one 4gb and the other 8gb, so i tried them both)
3) put the 2 file.bin in the flash drive root
4) plugged flash into the fantom off first and then switched the fantom on
5) no result

Am i doing something wrong?

Thank you in advance

Hi Augusto:

Your procedure is correct.
From the update folder you downloaded, drag (or copy/paste) both the “fan_g_upa.bin” and “fan_g_upc.bin” files to the USB drive.
File sizes
fan_g_upa.bin 9.271.552 bytes
fan_g_upc.bin 22.912.302 bytes

Please download firmware update file again from Roland site using another Computer if you can, and unzip checkin the sizes. Eject USB drives from PC properly.

Then follow the instructions included in upgrade zip file.

Good luck.
