Firmware update repeatedly failing Blackshark v3

I keep trying to update the firmware on the blackshark v3 headset but it just doesn’t work. It keeps timing out during the reset. The dongle updated successfully first try.

Im trying to do this because the headset keeps bugging out, going all robotic (requireing a replug) or just straight up not sending audio anymore (required power off and on again) randomly. I was hoping a firmware update would help, but i can’t even do that.

Any screenshot of the error during FW update?

If you have another PC - I’d try FW update on it.

Hello there, ​@macknificent101!

 

Yeah, you can try updating your headset’s firmware using a different PC. Also, feel free to drop me a message via PM along with your device’s serial number so I can validate it in our database and check for some workarounds along the way.
