Tascam Model 12, not possible to update firmware via SD card?

[Up457]

Yesterday we couldn't manage to update to the latest firmware version 1.41 using an SD card with the firmware on it.
Is it possible anyway?has that card to be formatted in a special way, and if so, is it writable in Windows?

Or are we required explicitely to use an USB cable, and that virtual drive appearing on the Windows side?
Just another question, we would need a male-to-male USB C cable then, wit an extra adapter to USB A male,
to connect the M12 to our computer?

I use a Sandisk SD card from the approved list and never had issues updating the firmware. If your card is an approved one you just have to format it in the Model 12, put it in your pc and transfer the new f/w file and then back to the Model 12. Be sure to follow the update instructions.
