Hello,
It looks like several people are having issues updating the firmware of the Thingy:91 modem with a simple USB cable.
I personally tried on Windows 10, 8 and 7. No luck.
The firmware currently installed is mfw_nrf9160_1.1.1 (it was never updated). I am trying to update to mfwnrf9160120.
When I try, after switching on to DFU mode, the error message I receive is "MCUboot DFU failed. Please make sure that the device is in MCUboot mode and try again."
I'm using the Programmer v. 1.4.5 of the nRF Connect v 3.5.0 application.
The Thingy:91 is always flashing blue, so it can't have access to network. I wonder if updating the firmware would solve this.
My question is: is there any chance that a (near future) driver or Programmer update could solve this issue?
Otherwise, if I need to use a hardware programmer, could you point me to the right (and cheapest) one (including the right cable), for example on DigiKey or Mouser?
Thanks for your support.
Andrea
