Has anyone here tried upgrading their firmware with this version without having it crash the box?  I recently made the mistake of hitting 'accept' when my unit was bugging me to upgrade the firmware and it crashed.  By using the instructions here, I managed to get it back working.  The firmware is now 2.20.  I'd like to update but don't want to take the chance of crashing it again.  Also, the nag screen comes up every time I access a module.

What do these two versions offer that isn't in 2.20?

Thanks.

Do not use any firmware that you want. Just replace the one that GDS version need.
You have to use just the fimware version that it is request by the GDS software.
But not any firmware version
Good luck

RE: GDS VCI UPDATE V2.24 and Unblock VCI
I have no idea as to what the GDS 'needs'.

By accident, I let it update it to whatever is the latest firmware from Hyundai and it crashed it. I think it was 2.30. I reinstalled the software and then started the GDS by holding the button until the three red led's came on and it fixed itself but now it is 2.20.

Now, every time I use any function on the GDS, it asks me to accept the firmware update. Kind of a pain in the butt. It would be nice to see if 2.24 or 2.28 upgrade would stop this.

Thanks again.

RE: GDS VCI UPDATE V2.24 and Unblock VCI
Everytime you upgrade GDS you have to check the firmware version and you have to replace it with the same patched ( no blacklisted ) version firmware file.
If now the firmware version in GDS is 2.20 then you need the v2.20 patched to replace the one you have in GDS.


Good luck

Sorry, but I don't understand your reply.  

Isn't the GDS hardware the same for all units?  If that is the case, I would assume you could feed it any working firmware revision... v2.20, v2.24 or v2.28... no?  Obviously, 2.30 does not work.  Will someone patch that version?

The latest firmware version, v2.30 came with the software upgrade from Hyundai.  The software works but the firmware crashed the unit.  I re-installed the original software disks, let it upgrade the software and now the unit is back working with firmware v2.20.  It's back to v2.20 because that's what came with the original disks.

Where did v2.24 and v2.28 come from?  Hyundai?

Thanks again.

RE: GDS VCI UPDATE V2.24 and Unblock VCI
VCI is the hardware. The MCU in the VCI is flashed with the firmware. So this firmware version it is diffrent and depending by the GDS software version.
The firmware contain the blacklist
Your VCI has a blacklisted serial.
If the GDS software need a firmware version then you have to use that firmware  version w/o blacklist.
Fw2.20 is w/o blacklist. All newer firmwares has blacklist.


Good luck

I took another look at the software and since it was showing firmware dll version 2.24 (but firmware 2.20), I decided to try upgrading again.  I put your v2.24 in the bin folder and took a chance.  It worked! 

The program is working fine and no more nag screens! (for now)

I'm thinking, when the software was upgraded via Hyundai, it probably put v2.30 into the bin folder.  Is there any way of reading that bin file to identify its version?

Thanks for the help.

If it will upgrade to fw2.30 you will see and you will check it in Configuration.
When you will see fw2.30 you will need to replace fw2.30 original with fw2.30 blackliste erased.
Actually if you have a blacklisted serial VCI you have to replace the curent firmware version with the patched/blacklist erased firmware.
Good luck
