Cannot update firmware on XDJ RX from 1.50 to 1.60

My XDJ RX has 1.50 firmware on it and I downloaded the 1.60 update.

I've followed the usual instructions and when prompted to load my USB device, I plug it in top left, but nothing happens. The USB prompt stays on the screen and there is no progress bar at all. I've tried leaving it for quite a while.

I have also tried re-downloading in case the file was corrupt but this made no difference. I have also tried 3 USB devices: One SanDisk, one recently formatted Corsair Survivor Stealth and a WD (FAT32 formatted) My Passport for Mac. I cannot trigger the update no matter what.
In the past I updated from 1.40 to 1.50 with no such problems.
Please advise.

Many thanks
Mark

Did you remember to unzip the download file?

Mark Tamsett

yes both times. The file I'm using is a Unix Executable file - XDJRX.UPD file.

cheers

Have you possibly downloaded this file with Safari? Please try using another browser.

Mark Tamsett

Pulse you are a genius. Thanks very much for the tip. Downloaded using Firefox instead and it has worked a treat. cheers Mark

I think it has something to do with Safari and the auto-unzip feature. Thanks for reporting back that it worked!

Hi. I'm trying to update the firmware of XDJ-RX and the controller wont start the update. I downloaded the file with Chrome and did it 2 times. Unzipped the file to a usb stick (format FAT) and it wont start. 2 USB sticks the same..

The firmware is from 180 -> 210
