Failed firmware update

We tested as good as we can. But there will always be things we didn't find. If you found things that apparently don't work as they should, you can report them here so we can take care of them as soon as possible.

Initially started to update, got to 50% stopped and asked to restart or reboot. Choose restart. Now it either tries automatically or I hit restart and won’t go past 0%

A 2.1.3
B 2.13
C 2.0.0

Hi!
I see that your serial number is below 4500, so we almost definitely have a fix for you. You will not believe this but the following trick will almost definitely help: Put the Unleashed in the freezer for 10-20 minutes, then plug it into the camera and try the update again, while it’s still as cold as possible.
We took a long time trying to find the cause of this problem. We found the problem and fixed it, but the fix comes in Firmware A, so if there’s ever a problem during the update of Firmware A, the fix will no longer work either.. The trick with the freezer has a scientific explanation too - now that we know the underlying cause.

Please try a few times - we've had cases where it worked only after the 4th or 5th attempt, see: viewtopic.php?f=13&t=1345&hilit=freezer

I hope it helps!
