OpenTx 2.2.3 Update and boot loader 

Why not do the upgrade with the TX connected "Power Off", then it updates the bootloader at the same time...

BRO!!!! Your video was THE BEST and the easiest instructional video I have ever seen and followed!! Thank you so much for your video and thank you for not making it over complicated like all the other videos out there!!!

Thank You for this, i was struggling a bit with it and your video helped me get my x9d back on track thank you!!!

Just bought the Rock Monster Taranis this video made updating it super easy thanks for that.

Fantastic tutorial :) If you actually flash with the radio totally turned off (without turning it on in bootloader mode), it will automatically upgrade the bootloader at the same time when performing any firmware upgrade. BUT, you must be sure that the DFU drivers are installed correctly in order to perform the firmware upgrade with the radio turned off :) Have a great weekend and keep on flying with OpenTX 2.2.3 firmware ;)

Worked like a charm. I'm on macOS, but the process was exactly the same. Thanks a lot for the educational videos, keep it up.

Worked great.. Now we are up to 2.3v0025, but hey, same process, and i love the different font! Thanks man

Thank you so much for this video. I was getting no where and frustrated. I could not update opentx. I watched your video and updated to newest firmware and updated the bootloader. Great video.

Subscribed! Big thanks man! Great, concise tutorial. My X-Lite now talks to me! Had to turn the volume down though because the default is a bit much for me. I mainly did the update so that I can more reliably flash my current XM+ receivers and also my soon to be installed R9MM receiver. Super excited to stretch the capabilities of 2.4ghz and to begin testing some medium-range action with the R9M Lite module! I really hope Frsky has ironed out all the wrinkles!

Amazing job explaining everything very easy to follow!👍

Video worked like a charm, thanks

This was great I just had a problem getting the eeprom I watched it a couple time but finally got it thanks

You are a life saver, thanks much appreciated! saved me hours of research :)

Thanks for the vid. I got it installed but not without a hitch for me. Just for others... I downloaded and installed over the existing installation. I showed 2.2.3 on the top menu bar but it would only allow me to dnload the latest release candidate. I backed up my radio files and uninstalled OpenTX and then reinstalled the 2.2.3 version and then it allowed me to dnload the latest update.

Thank you for your instructions. You made it very easy.

Easy peasy with your instructions. Absolutely great instructions.

The best, easiest, fastest instructions I've seen on how to update my Q-X7, which obviously is so similar; thank you

Just a heads up for anyone that is using this to apply firmware updates > 2.3.x the firmware needs to be put in the firmware directory no the eefrom directory. then run `write firmware` with the appropriate file on the taranis after unplugging the usb

Excellent video Tweet. Thank you Sir.

Great Tutorial....I managed to load 2.2.3. okay, and got the Bootloader to 2.2.3 using your method. Sprayed my X9D white too ages ago, mines just as purdy.....lol.....Thank you. R9M working on 868mhz Flex...:) That nice font is not available in the 2.2.3 Firmware though...?....It is in RC5....So frustrating...How to load just that Font file???????

I did it, Thanks for your help. Great vid.

Excelllent, all very clearly explained. Many Thanks

Excellent job, clear, concise. Thanks.

i had one issue to report, once it was checked all working ok i copied across the additional sound files but when i unplugged the usb the transmitter hung / locked up i had this all day when trying to load sd card direct in the end had to take out the sd card and load up on the computer

simple, and easy to understand.thank you

Thank you so much, subscribed!!

Do you know what ATC Battery low warning is? Ever since I upgraded to the latest I have this warning on screen 1st thing. My main pack is fully charged though and still lasts a couple hrs. Thanks for the vid. It helped me a lot.

TweetFPV Thanks very much for this great tutorial. My Tranis Q7XS is not fully up to date .. Regards JimS

Nice video . Thanks for the tutorial

Great vid. Question, if I don’t check the heli option as you did would the Taranis X9D plus then have a wizard for helis? I just got a taranis same one and it doesn’t have a heli option and it’s freaking me out since I’m new to helis. Fairly.

1. I believe that the firmware is supposed to go in the folder Firmware. Just looking at the readme.txt files for EEPROM and FIRMWARE seems to indicate that. But it worked for in your video so apparently it doesn't make any difference. 2. Although not copying the sound file has worked for me, There does need to have one folder in the SOUNDS/en/ folder (substitute the language of your choice for en) that dose need to be copied. It is the SOUNDS/en/SYSTEM folder. It contains the units for announcing "12.3 Volts" or "42 meters" or any other telemetry or lua values...as well as several other announcements used by OpenTx (like hello.wav and bye.wav.) 3. The Power off method works fine when the correct USB driver is installed, but Windows sometimes dose updates that change it to a driver that dose not work. Then you are in what is known as ZADIG hell. ZADIG is a program to install the correct driver.

Suuuuper helpful!! Thanks!

FANTASTIC !!! GREAT JOB !!!

When copying new sd card contents, my previous models will be erased?

correction just because..: the default USB connector is "Mini USB" you have modified it to "micro USB" didn't know, you can exchange the USB ports so easy o_O gonna try it! .. but at first I have to solve the problem that openTX Companion can NOT retrieve any update nor firmware (my Taranis X9D+ is stuck at 2.1.8)

so i did splash screen and used paint to take existing opentx and put my pilot name on it and then saved that file in paint and uploaded to the tarantis and now radio wont turn on

You know that check hardware compatibility box? I unchecked it and flashed my transmitter. Now it wont turn on and will only turn on in bootloader mode saying no fw installed. Can I come back from this?

Did the update, now none of my receivers will work with my radio. How do I fix this? Ive updated to 2.3.12-otx firmware and SD card. Its the most up to date firmware.

thanks for the video! I did notice you copied over a new Models folder to the USB from your firmware file. that doesn't erase your models?

Thanks for the video. 2.2.3 Version of Open TX for Taranis Qx7 Accst ( 2.4 GHz ) non EU, is good for Receivers of Frsky X series, D series and V8-II series...??? Are they binding...???

Thanks for sharing...🙏 One question, how about memory setting for our model? It’s gone be reset after we update to opentx 2.2.3? Please your advice. Thanks

Hi, I just updated my Taranis with open tx 2.3.4. Just so I understand correctly , to update the bootloader we just take the same firmware we downloaded previously (open Tx 2.3.4) and we put it in the eeprom folder on the sd card in my Taranis ? Thank you !

When I try updating the firmware, it says "new firmware is not compatible with the one currently installed!" I made sure that Taranis Qx7/x7s is selected in the settings... I even updated the bootloader to 2.2.3, but the firmware itself will not update. Any ideas?

Great, thank you!

When you copy and paste the sd contens, if you have luas scrip like Inav, BT or crossfire will you lose them?

Hi, I've got the new x-lite pro and can't seem to bring up the bootloader. I've tried to hold down the '+' pad and tapping on the power button but nothing... Is this now all integrated together and no need to do separately or is there a new way of doing this? Many thanks in advance :-)

Hey how can I order the kit for the micro USB relocation?

Thanks for video Do you know how to get old opentx firmware ? Companion give only new firmware.

Thank you. Very helpful

when i push the 2 trim tabs inward and turn on power, it doesnt go to the bootloader screen. it just turns on to SD Card Warning. what should i do? nor does the usb cable show up in my computer when i connect to the computer

A final release can most assuredly contain bugs.

i have 20 models on my x9d+ do i have to drag sd card model files to for 2.2.3 to work

Is there much of a difference in 223? I am running 222 now.

thank you so much

This wont affect your current models set up will it?

When I go into the Firmware folder on the SD screen I do NOT get a Flash Bootloader option. Any ideas ???

Thank you!

Awesome, easy as pie!

Nice work.

Does Companionx also need updating if this updated

my tx hung up when copying scripts at 34%, had to disconnect the battery en restore the tx , what happened?

Thank you so much!

Thanks a lot man

If you're rockin an xlite, ill rock you in the jaw.....naaa only kidding. Thanks for the video, answered a lot of my question, thank man, cheers!

Worked like a charm. I'm on macOS, but the process was exactly the same. Thanks a lot for the educational videos, keep it up.

This was great. Thank you!

I have a new FRSKY x18s but i got a older Tarranis lite and I want to get it to work again. I used it about a year ago and when i tried to update it, I broke something with the firmware I think cause It does not want to take a download. Would this vid be current to update still?

This was an outstanding tutorial. I got my taranis 2 days ago, pure virgin to any of this. I got though it nearly flawlessly with this video. I bugged out a bit because my bootloader .bin file icon was different, but when I followed the instructions everything seems to have worked. Now to set up for DRL (real flights to follow on trashcan after I feel comfortable) Big thanks!

Most helpful ! Followed the clear instructions to update my Q-X7 successfully, including the bootloader. Thanks !

I have Open Tx 222 on my computer and my X9D Plus radio. 222 does not have the simulator. Open TX 219 did have it and it was a nice feature. Does 2223 have it back as a part of the program?

Hello verry helpful video Ended up with version 2.2.4 on my radio also bootlader version is now 2.2.4 Tried to upgrade to version 2.2.3😀 Not sure how this happend but its not a problem i think? Wr Henk

This video is the best as far as i am concerned on how to upgrade my Frsky. I have tried before and was frustrated. Thanks

Do you need to save anything first before doing the updates such as models/settings?

Pretty nice work, dude! 😊 I made a video about how to upgrade the X9D too, but I couldn't publish it until now... And now looks like I'm going to have to make it again. 😂

thank you very veryyyyyy much it worked great i had 2.1.6 so maybe it will help , i also have just frsky r9m with r9mm coming and this was needed. would 2.1.6 could caused issues with failsafe?

I flashed 2.2.3 a few weeks ago without checking the R9 box, and I just received an R9 module, do I need to go through the same process again with it checked or can I just go into radio setup in open TX and check it?

questions: if I update bootloader am I going to loose any settings in my readio ? in other words do I need to have my taranis empty when doing this ? I noticed you have replaced model folder too. Did this not overwrite your models on your radio ?

I've seen USB mods and I have to say placing it on top is an excellent choice. Especially if you do sims through USB. That way your not breaking off your USB like I have 2 times on my QX7. Thank God I got a great reflow station so replacing them is a 5-10 min process. Good video.

I would like to know if, to update the SD Card, is better to delete all files first and then paste all files of the new version instead to copy and replace.

Excellent video. How do I find out about the USB input change? Taranis didn't think much about their usb placement. Tell me how to buy yhe USB kit + your beer money.

That usb conversation would make a great video,

I'm using Open-Tx 222. I basically followed your steps. There were two files, one called EEPROM & one called Firmware. I saved those files from the Taranis H drive copping them to a folder on my desktop. I copied a third from my computer thru Companion to my desktop. I also saved that content which was from the SD card & it had a different name: models. I changed the one called models to Opentx222. I put the SD card in a reader and placed it in my computer. I cut and paced that file to the EEPROM folder, put the SD card back in my Taranis. Confusing haa. Anyway, when I turned my radio back on, went to page 2 of 9, selected EEPROM, the file I renamed was there. I selected it. the only choices it gave me were copy, rename and delete. Flash boot loader was not there. My boat loader still shows 2.1.6...... What have I done wrong.?

If you update the opentx 2.2.3, Do you lost your models? Thanks

And 3 years later I am doing it now, 2.3.15 now...very well explained, wish I did not wated the time with other two youtuber pretenders trying to complicate what is simple

Flashing the X9D takes a few seconds but doing the Horus radios takes around 2 or 3 minutes so don't worry that it doesn't appear to be doing anything.

so helpful thank you !!!!!

Perfect Video Teaching !!! I followed this exactly as You did and it went flawlessly ! Thank You! I subscribed,liked,and have notifications of more cool videeos from you! keep up the great work !

In 2.2.4 when you rename the eep... file you need to leave the bin part at the end

I have an x7 coming in this week (I hope). Should I go through this process on a brand new TX? Thanks, Mike

hi followed your instructions 3 times and i dont get the eeprom at all only read me tx so there is nothing to update help ?

Tqvm TweetFPV. Just saw your video couple hours ago, immediately update my tx fw from v2.1.6 to v2.2.3. Excellent tutorial, to the point. Thanks to usb cable from foxeer box haha

Hi Mate the news are only for R9M module? Or there is some interessant news?

Where did you get the lanyard clip for your X9D? I have been looking for one for a few weeks now and I can’t find anywhere that has them in stock or is planning on stocking them again.

TweetFPV, very clear narration and easy to follow, very helpful and thank you very much for your help. Perranporth, Cornwall UK.

My QX7 has a damaged USB port. Please make a USB conversion video. Thanks.

What was the file you copied to the EEPROM folder?

Thanks for the video post. While this process is not that complicated...the fact that I don't update very often made your video a really useful and I like the way you made it so easy to understand. Well done.

i updated my taranis qx7 with flexfirmware, flash my R9m module and my R9mm receiver using S/F port, but it's not working, i reflash using Sbus but it won't bind. could you help me, please? 🙏

how do i get the screen pictutes back they have gone going to 2.24

I used this video to help me update my taranis. thankyou
