Can Not Update
An SD card formatted to FAT is required for an update updates can be found in the download and releases sections of the site and how to apply in the manual. In most cases it's fine to format the card on a PC using the format tool that comes with your operating system but at times this does not do the job well. Use a digital camera or Panasonic tool to format the card correctly.

What to do if it doesn't update?
If you're having trouble updating it could be for a number of reasons.
It's not uncommon for users to have wii connect 24 enabled this makes the Wii shutdown to standby mode and keeps the WODE active and unable to update. The WODE's bootloader checks for an update.bin on your SD card's root from a cold boot. To achieve a cold boot you must hold the Wii's power button in for around 5 seconds until the power indicator LED turns RED the Wii is now fully off you can then insert your SD into the WODE and power on once the update has completed check your WODE's settings are correct for your region and power cycle again.
It's possible that your SD card is not compatible with the WODE please try another.
Still not Updating
It's possible that there is a bad connection on one end of the slave ribbon, re-check your installation including the connection In the stand.
If your WODE is working on a lower firmware it's possible to test the connection by trying to run an iso from SD.
Stuck on LOADING
If your loading screen is pixelated like the image it's likely that your WODE has a Flash failure and requires an RMA, Please contact your seller to arrange a repair/exchange.

Last thing... the problem of the update of 1.28 >> 2.xx firmware is found in the FLASH IC... some wodes pass the quality check with 1.28 because is under 5 MB firmware... the 2.00 is over 5 MB and we found some wodes that have a faulty FLASH IC with bad sectors...
All who have a wode that cannot upgrade need to replace the WODE MAIN BOARD or replace the FLASH IC... this kind of issue is covered from warranty, you can link this thread to distributors that need to accept the RMA.
