Default VR7140 Updating Problems

[hr]


Anyone having problem updating their VR7140? I keep getting download failed/transfered failed messages. The furthest I've gotten is 54. Anyone know a fix or something?
I tried every port but 3 because it's used by something. I tried to restore default and everything. Anyone else getting this problem? I'm using a Serial to USB because no local store seems to have serial to serial. I have the driver installed, BAUD set at 115200, and COM port set at 4.[/align][/align][/align]

What happens at this step:

22. Once the tool boots up, another window will be displayed with a message saying:
“Tool is ready, do you wish to download?â€


We should determine if the tool is communicating with the
pc or not, this will help us determine where the problem lies.

The problem may be the Serial to USB cable. Try a different one. You should be able to get a serial cable from Radio shack, Bestbuy or a local computer store.
