Firmware update not working on Code 25

All Questions

Hi.

I've tried uploading the firmware on my Marshall Code 25 using the Chrome, Opera and Edge latest browser versions on my Macbook pro 12.3 (Monterey) using a midi usb cable.

When doing the update the amp connects and allows me to click update... it shows the progress to 100% but then gives the error below:

"An error occurred. The update process was not completed. Please try restarting your computer/device, and then try the update process again."

I must have tried this a 100 times with no success.

Now when i resart my amp to play some tunes the display says "CHK USB" and the amp wont work.

This is all very frustrating and i hope someone can assist.

Hi Karl,

Please try the below to see if this helps ,

MIDI troubleshooting tips:

Make sure that there aren’t other apps running that could be using the MIDI drivers, for example a DAW or MIDI monitor.
Make sure that there aren’t other browser tabs open that could be accessing the MIDI ports.
Try to switch the amp on in bootloader mode, by holding down the PreFX, Mod and Rev and then turning the amp power on.
Try a different USB cable.
If has access to a Windows PC, try downloading the firmware updater app from the MyMarshall website.

Regards

My issues are different. I have it connected and it says "Restarting in bootloader mode". This has been displayed for 30 minutes not. The amp (Code 100) says "Ready for Update". Nothing seems to be happening. When I try to exit it tells me not to exit while the upload is happening. I don't think anything is happening, but I'm afraid if I disconnect that I will break it. Please help. - 09 Dec 2022 at 01:24 PM

I'm also having trouble using a MacBook Pro too update the firmware. It said use Google Chrome so I downloaded that and now I get a screen saying about "can't connect too MIDI disconnect and try again"

I've used the boot loader too power up the code 25 with still the same conclusion.

This is so frustrating and anyone help me please?

Thank you.

Hi Marc,

You should note that Web MIDI is still a draft specification, and although we've found it to be pretty stable, there could be combinations of hardware and software which have problems.

If you still have problems using MIDI from this site, here are some things you can try:

Check that you have given permission for the My Marshall site to use MIDI devices in your browser. You will normally be prompted to do this the first time you use the site, but you can view and change the permissions later from your browser settings.

On Windows, only one application can use the underlying system MIDI driver at a time. Make sure that you're not running any other software that could be using the MIDI port, such as a Digital Audio Workstation or MIDI Mapper.

If MIDI initially works, but you then start to have problems, close all of your browser windows, and then check that there is not a hidden instance of the browser running in the background. On Windows, use the Task Manager to do this, and on a Mac you can use Activity Monitor.

If all else fails, try turning your computer off and back on again! Sometimes when things crash, they can take the MIDI drivers with them, and the only option is to do a reboot.

Regards

Solution for CHK USB error: use Windows!

After a couple of hours of tries, either on Mac with Chrome or through Parallels with Edge/Windows 11, I could not make it work and my Code 25 was stuck with the CHK USB error. Luckily, I could borrow a Windows PC from a friend and that fixed the problem: I was able to repair the failed firmware upgrade. Good luck!

Yes, I had exactly the the same picture on my MacBook Pro - the 1.48 firmware did not install correctly (it somehow did, but the webpage said it was not successfull), and I got constant CHK USB message. After that I tried maybe 15 times with no success. Then I took my wife’s PC, installed the latest Opera and updated the firmware from the first attempt. Dear Marshall, please fix this, it is quite disappointing when you have tho think where to get a PC to update the firmware. It is 21st century after all, updating firmware is quite a trivial stuff, it is not sending people to terraform Mars. Thank you in advance. - 04 Nov 2023 at 07:51 AM
