How to update the IPV 4 firmware

[Vapor Guy]

does anyone have a step by step on how to update the firmware on the IPV  4. They came out with the 4s so we should be able to update the IPV 4 with the new firmware and gain 20 watts. Anybody know how or have done it?

I don't have an ipv4.  I did do my ipv3 a while back.  I found these instructions on another site, but it is the exact same steps as the ones I did on the ipv3.

You need a micro USB cable to connect the IPV4 to your computer.

1. New SXi upgrate package (this is the software that will do the upgrade)

2. ipv4 upgrade software for 120w with Ti wire 100J test (this is the file that contains the firmware)

3. Install the SXi Program

4. Open the SXi Program program

5. Turn off your IPV4, remove the batteries, and plug in the USB cord

6. Click the connection icon

7. Click install driver.

8. Install the driver for the IPV4 (should be the only option)

9. Close out of the driver pop up

10.Click connect

11.Click return (the icon at the top center of the window)

12.Click open file

13.Browse to and open the IPV4 update package

14.Click Upgrade

Good Luck!

thanks so much for all the help, it worked perfectly. I love how it's possible to update the firmware on these. Way better then having to buy a whole new mod

It is a great feature.  I wish they all did it.  The new DNA200 is even a level above updatability. DNA200 data sheet (PDF) It allows full customization.  I have only had one that could be updated (ipv3).  I really want the ipv mini D2, it can not be updated.  YiHi only makes certain boards that can be updated.
