HI everyone
So it has been over a year since I have been able to use MY RCP mk2 and its time to use it again! I have also made some changes to the sensors by using the Sensor X product and will be doing the sequential shift light if possible.
PROBLEM SUMMERY, tested in new car, worked kinda. wanted to load latest film ware, updated mac app, good it reads RCP try and load new firm ware, won't., forum says problem with OS X use Windows, get old laptop win7, update to latest app, it reads RCP as 2.8.7 same as mac did earlier, try and update firmware it won't. go to win10 pc. download latest app for first time, walk through tutorial, will not connect at all. forum says I need to perform long process to get USB's to see com 3, i get that to work..... i think..... still won't read RCP now I notice red error light flashing quickly all the time. Double check condition on all 3 lap tops, will not connect with latest app, and error LED flashing fast as soon as cable is plugged into any one of the three lap tops. tried to remove app from all three computers and reloading, no change.
CRAP WHAT HAVE I DONE!!!!! COMPUTERS ARE GREAT BUT TODAY THEY SUCK AND THEY HATE ME LOL!!!1

THANKS BRENT!!!!!
ok figured it out with some help from Brent....Thank you sir!
What I think I did was put the RCP in bootup mode and removed it from my computer late last night then updated the app which freaked it out some how and it was locked in that boot mode.
With the recommendation from Brent I was to follow the MK2 firmware update video....EXACTLY! with the laptop with Win10 I didn't.... I did the exact same thing, I followed the steps for updating the RCP with the latest app version.
Then is dawned on my I wasn't following the video EXACTLY.... so I uninstalled the lastest app and reinstalled the app version as it was shown in the video 1,3,1 then installed the rcp firmware version 2.8.1 as It was in the video. it glitched cause it was stuck in boot mode then started to post date.
SUCCESS ihad my old rcp back.
now I uninstalled the old app, then redownloaded the latest app, then once open I downloaded the latest firmware 2.12.0 and BAM I got the latest updates.
Thanks again Brent for your help!!!
