Yeah I did the format to Fat32
I'm trying to update IPMA then I will try TCU maybe this is the issue

I got option to reprogramming TCU
and a warning message that I need 12G ram and it will take long time to complete
what does this option do ? anyone did it ?

Most of my USB drives won't work. I have a chinesium special 8GB stick I use for all of my FDRS stuff. Samsungs don't work. I think it's syncs dated hardware as the drives work in TVs which have much newer hardware. Funny how they're all running on ARM SOCs from phones / tablets. Sync 4's hardware is almost 10 years old.

Format for the flash drive should be exFAT, not FAT32.

Sorry, my mistake, I meant exFAT. Yes, fat32 would be a problem.

Sounds like is it giving you option to install the update via CAN since the USB method keeps failing. I would do it if it continues to fail with the USB.

Hi
Both exFat and Fat32 are not working
I'm updating right now via CAN
It's very slow but it's updating

Yes, very slow indeed. APIM, GWM, TCU and IPC can be done with USB to make the process faster, but when it fails, then CAN is the way to go. Just be happy it isn't the IPC. That one takes 6 hours.

Ironically I have a Samsung thumb drive that I have been using for both of the Powerboosts I have owned, and now the Mach-E.

I carry it in my left pocket everyday everywhere. Not to be mixed in with the 10 other thumb drives in the backpack.

So I don't think brand differentiation is the whole story.

Make/model/firmware.....?

I do know our vehicles can be picky about such things.

I tried 3 devices:
SanDisk 64GB flash drive,ASUS SSD 512GB and SD reader XD
None of them worked for me

I personally would have to conclude that it isn't the physical media itself behind the failure.

But you aren't the only updater to be taunted with the scenario.

Have you labeled the stick? If so...needs to be short ...like Ford or Sync and exFat format
