Thanks David. The size of the file is 12,053 kb.
I'm going to try the intermediate step of upgrading to 1.33 with the package

Hello Greg,
The absence of the system menu is simply because you're running an older
version of the software. Using the shortcut command B7B8D3D6 is perfectly
okay.
If it appears to go through the motions of updating, but then reboot without
updating, it suggests something failed during the install.
You have tried the things I would have suggested, including trying to
download the update using another browser or other computer. If it is still
not working after that, then I'm running out of suggestions.
With VarioUltra switched on and connected to your Windows computer, go to
Windows Explorer on the computer and find the storage device VarioUltra.
Drill down to the storage and check/confirm that the update file is the only
update file there.
Also, can you confirm the file size of the downloaded zip file you have
there?
Thanks,
David

Hi Paul and Pavel,
Thanks for the responses.
I have tried copying the update file to a USB stick and then from the stick
to the device as you described but am still getting nowhere. I have tried
several fresh downloads from the dropbox link and have even tried the
process from my wife's Mac using Chrome. I made sure the file was not
unzipped.
AS I mentioned earlier, there is no System option under my Settings. I'm not
sure why, but that means I have to use the shortcut key to start the
download. I don't know if that has anything to do with why it might not be
loading.
Any other ideas of what might be going wrong or things I can try?
Thanks for the help.
Best,
Greg

Yes. First, put it on a thumb drive
Then navigate to the thumb drive in file manager
Copy it to the root of the flash disk
Go to settings
Go to update
You will see it
Click on it
It will then unzip
Then it will install
Kind Regards

Subject: [varioultra] Trouble updating from Firmware 1.32 to 1.42
Hello all,
I have a VarioUltra 40 that is currently running Firmware 1.32. I have
downloaded the Firmware 1.42 update from the dropbox link on the Baum
support page but am not able to get the update to work. I copied the zip
file to VarioUltra Storage using File Explorer in Windows. I cannot find the
System menu in Settings on my display so I used the B7+B8+D3+D6 to start an
update. It appears that it is running and update and my device restarts once
or twice. Once it restarts though, it is still running 1.32 when I look at
the About section under Help.
Can anyone offer any advice?
I also tried copying to an emptyUSB stick and copying from there to the
Flash memory. Again, I had to use the same command though because System is
not showing up under Settings.
Thanks for any help.
Best,
Greg
