(TECH) Unable to falsh Adrunio IDE firmware

Hello.
I’m in the same situation as the OP. Can’t get firmware to flash though. Any ideas?
Hardware appears to working properly. Home screen etc.
Followed driver installation directions step by step.
FirmwareUpdater times out. I’ve tried and re-tried multiple times.

I’m running Win 7 64bit as admin.

Would anyone who has been successful at updating firmware be kind enough to confirm something for me?

When the RePhone is off(solid red LED) and usb connected the device shows up in device manager under “Network Adapters” as “Alcatel Single RNDIS Interface” and driver details shows two driver files in Windows\system32\drivers…sys.

When the Rephone is on(blinking Green LED) and usb connected the device shows up in device manager under “Ports” as “MTK USB Debug Port(COM14)” and "MTK USB Modem Port(Com13).

Is this what you are seeing in your system? I’m trying to troubleshoot what might be holding the firmware update process up and not sure what the cause is.

I’ve also uninstalled and reinstalled the drivers multiple times to no avail.

Thank you for reading.
