MPVI2+ Stuck at "Reading from interface..." after failed firmware update

Hi all... MPVI2+ came this week, so I downloaded and installed the latest HPT suite (4.10.5) onto my Win10 laptop, then connected the new MPVI2+ dongle. It indicated there was a firmware update available, tried to update, and then failed to do so. Subsequently when I click "Retry" under Resync Interface, it simply indicates "Reading from interface..." and does nothing and sits there forever.

When I click Retry, the STAT light on the dongle (which is normally flashing slow green when plugged into the laptop) flashes white three times, then returns to a slow green blink.

I have restarted Windows a couple times, and see the same behavior each time.

I also tried the beta VCM Suite (4.11.258 Beta) but see the exact same behavior.

Is there a way to re-initiate the firmware update, or is this essentially bricked out of the box?

Ticket 22458, thanks Bill.

Experiencing same issue here. Device was functional and now hangs up at the same place. Any updates on how you resolved this issue?

PEBKAC--this was on me. In case anyone else with limited experience ever has the same issue, the MPVI2 device required a firmware update. I didn't realize you have to plug the device into your vehicle and your computer to trigger the firmware download. Problem solved!

so am having the same issue almost word for word, i have a mpvi3 got it a week ago and went to update it and it gets hung up as well even tried it in the vehicle and with different computers and cables any thoughts?

I was able to resolve the issue by plugging the MPVI into my laptop and into the OBDII port on my truck at the same time, while connected to wifi/internet. Once connected to the truck with the scanner open, it recognized the need for a firmware update and completed the whole process in a couple of minutes. I haven't seen this issue since.

Hope you're able to get it resolved quickly

i have tried to just let it set and connect it just stays at reading from interface it will flash white a few times and go back to slow green flash honestly i want to get it back to working condition because i saved up for this thing for the longest and one week is all it last

I'm sorry you're having troubles and we'd love to help you. Have you already opened up a support ticket? If so, do you have your ticket number so that we can review the status? If not, please open a support ticket here: https://support.hptuners.com

yes i have a ticket number i didnt have the debug log attached with the ticket
ticket number (68065)

okay made a new ticket with debug file linked ticket number 68094

Okay so Charlie G from the support reached out and told me to download the beta version and it updated almost immediately

awesome, glad to hear!

I just had this problem

To fix I load current beta version of vcm suite launch vcm scanner connect to the vehicle like your going to datalog and it triggerd the firmware update
before this i tried to resync from vcm editor rtd flash and vcm scanner and it would just say "Reading from interface..." and sits there forever.

Any update on this from users? My MPVI2+ is doing the same thing. And now it's just stuck there. Won't connect, won't read, won't even connect to the scanner anymore. I opened a ticket but they don't want to help anymore since I tried it on a Mac running windows (I understand that part), even though it also wasn't working on a native windows.

Not sure if you ever got it sorted out but I downloaded all the updated software which still didn't help but what looked to help was the firmware as mentioned above. Click help and pick resync interface.

In case anyone else ends up with the same problem (hangs at reading from interface). For me it was resolved when I went to VCM Suite Information and then updated firmware. Firmware would not update otherwise.

Vcm beta is what i was able to reboot-update & fix my device when my mpvi3 failed the update as well, stuck on the reading interface pop up, the download status bar never moving. Blinking green light could'nt connect to vehicle, nothing... Worked perfect up till this point. I had been running stable vcm suite and vcm editor but not the vcm beta which has nothing to do with why the update failed, but after installing the net 8 software & running vcm beta i was able to recync & update my device. Hope this helps someone else...

Well looks like its my turn. Out of the blue I get an error stating that a firmware update is required. Then bam, stuck at reading interface. Submitted a ticket.

Update to the newest beta & net framework and try again.
