Bluetooth connection to phone disconnected while updating firmware, leading to the update failing and needing to retry. Upon second attempt, worked fine, how ever with a few issues. 1. powering off the device doesn’t say power off, only “Power” then gets cut off. 2. powering on or off the device, as well as smart-switching, often requires multiple attempts for it to register that I’m doing anything. I’ve tried factory resetting the headset, and running the latest firmware updater, but to no avail. Is there anyway of resetting/rolling back the firmware to an older version so the updater will do it’s thing?
Razer Barracuda - Firmware Reset?
Looks exactly like this problem:
I had to have my headset exchanged for a new one at the dealer because there doesn't seem to be a solution to the problem.
It’s a major firmware bug and also it’s very annoying thing. When you try to charge your device while headphone on, your device may have this bug. Solution is very easy. Remove right speaker cap and four screw from unit. After that disconnect the Li-on battery from the unit for a while. When the battery disconnected try to turn on your unit. Then you can connect battery connector. That is the solution.
Enjoy!

Hey, I have tried this but still would not work. What happens is the Barracuda would charge for a couple of seconds then disconnects (turns off).
Disconnected Battery > Plug USB in and turn on device > Steady Red LED > Connect Battery and Turn On device > Connect to App and it shows 10% battery remaining > Disconnect Battery and USB > Reconnect Battery and Turn On device > Connect to App and it shows 52% battery remaining > Connect USB > Charges for 5-10 seconds (red led blinking) then turns off and disconnects (won’t charge).
