Update to 1.6.0 Beta Fails

    I have the same problem, but I have resolved it in the following manner:


    I,m was happy with my 1.52 version KPA with about 760 rigs on it.


    Like I have read in this forum somewhere, first I have updated it to version 1.54 succesfull, and after that I have tryied to update to 1.6 without any succes.


    It gets to 100% of the process and then update was failed.


    After trying a few times to update to 1.6 I have returned to the version 1.52 which was succesfully installed.


    Now I was stopped the KPA and waiting a few minutes.


    In next step, after restarting the Kemper I was trying to update from version 1.52 to 1.6, and...what a surprise: it was working!!!.....but after the updating process my nice little Kemper won't start again.......


    I have stopped it again and after a few minutes I've tried to start it with booting from USB stick with the new firmware.........and like a wonder it was started and it,s working fine and sounding perfect now with the new software version and the new rigs....


    I hope that this is working for You too!

    Thanks guys I'll give this a try.


    I'm at 1.5.4 and can't get to 1.6 despite multiple USB sticks and downloads.


    The process gets to 100% and then fails "Update has Failed. There was a problem reading update data" ...


    Hoping to use the same USB stick I've dedicated to the Kemper for several months and I've done about 5 updates with no problem prior to this :/


    I might try to go down to 1.5.2 and then back up again.

    i just made a big cock up i answerd this post by clicking on the report button by mistake sorry to all for that im losing it..
    ill try again :wacko:


    Try backing up your USB stick to Pc/ Mac then format the Stick on the KPA, then copy back files other than the update Kaos.bin.
    Download a fresh copy unpack and copy the files to your USB stick and try loading again.
    This worked for me :thumbup:

    Mainly my own built valve amps and Kemper

    Using the KPA to format the same USB I've used for upgrades and trying again to upgrade from 1.5.2 to 1.6.0 did not work for me.
    Upgrading from 1.5.2 > 1.5.4 > 1.6.0 also did not work.


    Edit:
    Success!
    Downgrading back to 1.5.2 from 1.5.4 then trying 1.6.0 again worked.
    I do notice that the "Last Imported Rigs" do not show the most recent rigs I had imported but do show a list of imported rigs from a while back.
    No big deal since the new rigs are there when browsing "All Rigs"
    Thank again for the help!

    Please report this to support. Include a backup and the exact error message (btw what did it say?).

    Finally had some success, see edit above.


    Prior to this the process would get to 99% and then fails "Update has Failed. There was a problem reading update data" ...
