I Can not upgrade the firmware of my SD2Snes help!!!

[RogeCM]

i know that everybody updates the firmware of the sd2snes only changing the sd2snes folder for another most recently that has the new file firmware.img and the firmware is updated automatically for the flash of the cartridge, but in my case this way does not work because the boot of my sd2snes is differently because my boot process is different for another sd2snes carts because if i turn on the super nes with cartridge of sd2snes and the sd card in the sd2snes does not work for me and show a black screen, for my sd2snes work i have to turn on the super nes with the sd2snes in the slot of the super nes but with the sd card not inserted in the sd2snes slot and will show at the screen no sd card found so after this i insert the sd card in the sd slot on the sd2snes with the super bes turned on and this way show the menu of the sd2snes, the problem is this way is not the way to boot the sd2snes and it does not make the process to save the file firmware.img to the flash of the sd2snes this way i cant upgrade my sd2snes at the menu of the sd2snes after 1 press x on the controller and go in system configuration is showing firmware version 0.1.4a but in the true the firmware.bin that is at the folder of my sd2snes is the 0.1.5 Could anyony help me to upgrade mye Sd2snes cart?

OMG, how about some punctuation? It's impossible to read that...

Guess the punctuation won't help much, because the whole stanza is a single sentence.

Sorry fo the English guys this is not my first language and German neither is, my first language is portuguese, its hard to explain the problem in another language that is not Portuguese for me, i will make a video on youtube and post here in the forum i believe this way will be easy to understand the problem.

After all that I understood he is not able to update firmware
since the sd2snes just shows a black screen when booted with sdCard inserted.

He uses his sd2snes by switching on with sdCard NOT inserted and puts it in afterwards.

@RogeCM
My proposal is to get you a working sdCard.
I think there was a list around with supported manufactors on sd2snes.de...
here you go

..and about your language skills: give it a try and build short senteces before approaching the longer ones

[RogeCM]

Yes you understood exactly what i wrote, but changing the SD cad does not solve the problem i already try even 5 or more Sd cards, the problem of does not boot directly with sd card inside the sd2snes does not bother me the problem is that way i can not upgrade the firmware of my sd2snes, Krikkz wrote me for i try to take out the R101 (resistor 101) of the board of my sd2snes but i afraid to cause some damage to my board because i dont have skills to do it, and he not have sure that doing this will solve the problem of the boot of my sd2snes although i will be happy if the problem of the boot of my sd2snes was solved at least since solving this i think that the problem with the update would be solved together

I am sending the video showing that i can not do the upgrade of my sd2snes i move all the files of the firmware version 0.1.5 for the root of the sd card all files are inside the folder sd2snes including firmware.img but after star menu still show firmware version 0.1.4a, maybe it happens because the way too boot my sd2snes is few differente for another sd2snes i have to insert the sd card after turn on the super nes with no sd card and show at the tv screen no sd card found this way the menu of sd2snes open but does not make the update, if i inset the sd card at the ssd2snes and turn on the super nintendo show only black screen. Krikkz sent to me a message that maybe if i take out the resitor 101 (R101) maybe could solve the problem, but i am afraid to do this because i dont have enough skill to take out the resistor. Could anybody help me? maybe Ikari know the solution for this....

i have a idea, but i write in german. it is not the answer.

also für mich hört sich das genau an wie die ersten 15 sd2snes von ikari. da war dasproblem ja auch. nur leider habe ich keine ahnung ob das bei krizz seine auch is. ich hab keine ahnung, was ikari dann nachtröglich geändert hat, das die firmware läuft.
dann bleibt noch die frage, wer das repariert, falls es daran liegt?

I Made a Video to show what happens, and it shows what i have to do to start the menu of my sd2snes

What he wrote was:

It seems to him that this can be an already known problem.
The very first 15 sd2snes by ikari_01 had a certain problem with updating.
Have you bought your sd2snes from krikzz? It's very unlikely that you have one of these 15 carts.

Thanks for the translate, i bought my sd2snes for taobao.com it is like a ebay from China i usually bought my cartridges from stoneagegamer.com but it is out off stock for a long time and i was already waiting for a long time and because of it i bought in another place, Krikkz does not sold it for me he just answer an message tolde me that the problem could be solver if a take out the resistor 101 but i am afraid to do this and damage my board because i don have enough skills to take out the Resistor 101 (R101) from the board

[ikari_01]

Apparently there are sd2snes cartridges sold on taobao (and probably aliexpress) which are neither made by me (obviously) nor by KRIKzz. They are based on my latest PCB revision E2 but with very slight differences in appearance. The item photos show a KRIKzz made board though, which is false advertisement if you will.

These sd2snes cartridges are pre-programmed with a defective boot loader which is incapable of updating the firmware. It cannot be fixed by the user without the use of JTAG programming hardware and appropriate tools.
I strongly advise to steer clear of these units.
