Hi,

I purchased a Flex 200 on Ebay.

The device is already registered, under I assume the original owner.

Can the device registration be transferred…or is it important?

Regards,

Bret

    Thanks Ivan,

    I now have the device in my portal.

    The firmware updates don't work. All my other Flex 200 devices have firmware 5.37.

    This device won't upgrade. Is stuck on 5.3

    The auto update looks like it's doing somethings but never updates.

    So I downloaded the firmware.

    I goes through the process about waiting 5 minutes etc, but never updates the firmware.

    Any tricks to get the firmware update working?

    Thanks

    I ended up setting the original firmware as the running firmware.

    Then I reset to factory defaults.

    Then the device downloaded the 5.37 firmware during the boot process, and is now running on the device.

    The firmware update process seems partially working, but as long as I know a way to get it updated,

    I can deal with it.

    The Flex 200 is very good so far.

    Thanks,

    Bret
