Thanks! Certainly .
I loaded a USB with firmware, but no luck. I get the same sequence; Custom boot screen, Pioneer loading splash screen then the "Write Program Forcedlly" menu with no response from soft buttons so navigation through menu is not possible. I'm trying to understand the USB-UART method, is this similar to the factory USB cable when restoring Android devices? Any links to literature on the subject would be helpful. I may not be looking properly for information on the subject, for some reason I only find non related articles on UART.
Thanks again.
