FDRS is often down on Sundays.
It showed in your first screenshots server isn't online.
You can try rebooting laptop if it is some weird issue on your end but likely the server is just down right now as often happens on Sundays.

So I did all the updates available in FDRS, but am waiting on the dreaded APIM-USB update to kick in. I have a 2021 that I don't believe has ever been updated, it has no version in the about SYNC screen and my update buttons are grayed out. I have read a lot on this thread about this problem but was wondering if there have been any new revelations on how to get the APIM update started?

I just got through this problem. I'm sorry you're having to deal with it too. I did the procedure here https://www.tsbsearch.com/Ford/22-2150. After this, the usb read and my truck updated. Now stuck on the TCU update already installed problem.

Edit: Here is a youtube video that helped me:

Texasguy, thanks for the links. I may end up doing this if it doesn’t take the update soon.

Just note that I'm not recommending it. It's tricky and you only get 15 tries before it blocks your APIM from future updates and will require you to replace it, so there is some risk to it. I got to 10 tries before I tried a different computer and had it take. I was very nervous while watching it fail over and over.

Feel free to PM me before trying and I'll walk you through exactly where my tries failed and what equipment I ended up using.

Hey all. I am trying to run this today. Firewall is off. Everything else is working but getting a Login Server fail when I do a network test. Anyone else confirm they are having the same issue? All other tests passed and I am able to post this message so Internet is good. I don't have the mongoose connected to the computer during this process. Help :) Thank you.

Windows 11? FDRS 38.X.X doesn’t work with Windows 11. You need to run an older version of FDRS.

I’m running the latest FDRS with latest windows 11 no problems here.
That hasn’t been most people’s experience, particularly if they are seeing server errors.

I’ll consider myself lucky and knock on wood that it keeps on running.

It appears that the older version is working well.
Updates are happening. Thank you!
