In order to solve your incident, please apply the following steps:

Note: DO NOT UNPLUG the {ICOM Next} from the {OBD II} jack after an update via {ISTA}, a web interface or an emergency software update.
The {ICOM Next} starts with flashing green SYSTEM {LED}s. After about 10 seconds it shows red {LED}s for about 2 minutes. After this, the {ICOM Next} reboots due to a firmware update.
If the {ICOM Next} {LED}s remain red for more than 10 minutes, or if the {ICOM Next} is unplugged directly after an update, please carry out the following procedure:

1. Please ensure that ALL of the following prerequisites are satisfied:
1.1. You require a {USB} 2.0 or {USB} 3.0 flash drive. ({USB} 1.x flash drives are not supported).
1.2. The {USB} flash drive must be formatted with a {FAT32} file system.
1.3. A minimum of 60 {MByte} free space is required on the {USB} flash drive.
2. Navigate to "{C:\ProgramData\BMW\ISPI\data\TRIC\ICOMNext\ICOM-Image-03-14-08}".
ProgramData folder is hidden by default. In that case, you have two options in order to access the file or the folder:
- change the settings directly in the Windows Explorer ("Tools => Folder Options => View => Show hidden files, folders or drives")
- or enter the whole path into the Windows Explorer's address bar and press enter.

3. Copy "{ICOM_Next-rootfs-010002.tar.gz}" to the root directory of the {USB} flash drive.
4. Copy "{ICOM_Next-app-010008.tar.gz}" to the root directory of the {USB} flash drive.
5. Disconnect the {ICOM Next} from the power supply.
6. Plug the {USB} flash drive into the {ICOM NEXT}.
7. Press and hold the button pressed on the {ICOM Next} and connect the {ICOM NEXT} to the {OBD II} jack of a vehicle.
8. Keep the button pressed. The {ICOM NEXT} starts with all {LED}s glowing red. The {LED}s stay red; some may flicker orange/yellow. Keep the button pressed.
9. Keep the button pressed. After about 4 seconds, all {LED}s turn orange/yellow. All {LED}s now glow in the same colour.
10. Release the button and then press it three times within five seconds. The {LED}s glow or flash red and orange/yellow again.
11. Wait: This procedure may take several minutes. Do not disconnect the {ICOM NEXT} as long as any {LED} glows red.
12. After about 5 minutes the SYSTEM {LED} turns green again. The {ICOM NEXT} has been updated and is ready for use.

IMPORTANT: When the software update is complete, the {ICOM NEXT} needs to be connected to the dealer's network in order to be reconfigured.
All previous settings are lost during the update. If there is a "{user.settings}" file on the {USB} flash drive, it will be applied after the firmware update.

---

here are recovery files . just unzip the folder and copy those 2 archives on USB root folder. do not unzip them again. If for any reasons you`ll need recovery files for older 05 version please PM.

   Friend copy rar files of Icom image-03-15-00 on a USB stick but try to unzip and give errors.  How to copy correctly ?  Thanks a lot,  Are any other way to fix the tool ?

The question is : ICOM NEXT have 2 buttons , what is proper for firmware recovery. Maybe somebody have ICOM NEXT operation manual ?

[M-Simon]

It is the button next to the usb port.

This will help you also:

And the second button with yellow led is for ..?

I managed to brick (and later recover) my NEXT attempting to change connection modes with a flash drive, so I have a few lessons to share. I just made a user.settings file attempting to set my NEXT back to APIPA. The correct procedure is to simply insert the drive into the icom and tap the yellow-lit button once. Since this was not working, I tried the recovery procedure of holding the button, plugging in, and giving 3 quick taps. Doing that caused all of the lights to go dead on the ICOM except for LAN. It officially became unresponsive, and attempts to recover with USB firmware were unsuccessful. It turns out the NEXT only likes certain flash drives! So my lessons are as follows:
1. The Next only gets along with certain flash drives, older is generally better. I tried my super-fast Lexar 64gb with FAT32 formatting, and it wouldn't recover. Putting the firmware files on an ancient 64MB drive fixed it in 45 seconds. I have now grabbed a couple of old USB 2.0 drives off Amazon for $4 each.
2. Changing I.P. settings only requires inserting the drive with the user.settings file, waiting for the lights to scroll green, and giving the glowing-yellow button a single tap.
3. The recovery procedure works with the light-up button. Don't do the reset procedure of holding the button and giving the 3 quick taps if you are just changing settings. For reasons I cannot explain, it will mess up the icom.
4. The Next is apparently pretty resilient, and can survive dumb stuff. Just put the 2 tar.gz firmware files on an old USB 2.0 stick with FAT32 formatting, and you can recover it.

I put firmware files to old 2GB USB memory stick and all recovered. ICOM next works like new one. Thank You for help.
