Please, check current firmware version using `report` button in WIC, for chipless firmware it must be AT12GC.

Chipless firmware, once activated, do not expire and if you will acidentally update to official version in the future, you can restore it and reactivate with recovery code.

Good day. Firmware from WIC is cheaper but it also older than CS version which means that there are higher chance that it was blocked by Epson for your device.

Caution! This topic will explain how to upload firmware to the printer by pulling out power cable during critical operation and corrupting data on the motherboard. This method has been used dozens of times but, while nobody reported any irreparable damages, results are not conclusive. Execution: 1. Only use this method when everything else is failed. 2. Make sure that there are no problems with USB cable or USB port. Even if the cable is fine for printing there are still can be issues when uploading firmware data, so if you get any errors consider to replace the cable and switch USB port first. 3. Start uploading firmware normally. It is preferable to use service mode (instruction for entering service mode can be found in respective chipless manual) and official offline firmware that you can download from Epson website for this, but if this not possible you can start updating process in normal mode and use Epson Update Center. 4. Remove power cable when firmware is being rewritten. Firmware update executes in four steps: uploading data, verifying data, erasing chip and writing new data to the chip, you need to remove cable during the last two steps somewhere in the middle of the whole proccess. Usually apropriate message is shown during each step if printer has LCD or LED indication is changed otherwise, but it varies from model to model and some models does not indicate changes in any way until the very end. 5. Start the printer normally using power button, in should start in the recovery mode and will be recognized as new MFP-IPL device on the system. If the printer has an LCD it will also show `Recovery Mode` message on the screen. 6. Upload chipless firmware according to the standard instructions in this mode. 7. Printer should accept chipless firmware now, but in the case when even this process will fail you may use official firmware to restore device functionality.

Good day, each time when you connect usb printer to the PC virtual printing USB port name (USB001,USB002,etc) is assigned, once you install the driver this assignment is remembered and as result the more installed printers you have in the system the higher is port number for the next one. Unfortunately, license.exe can only work with first 32 ports, so in order to use it with the new device, you need to delete one of the existed printers with low port number, freeing it, and then replug the new one (of course it will only work if new device is not installed itself, otherwise it will have fixed port number and nothing will change). Bottom line, remove as much unused printers from the system as possible.

Unfortunately, they use different firmware versions and incompatible with each other.

Good day. First of all try to change USB cable and port, download WICReset and shutdown all epson processes via 'main menu >> support >> disable porcesses' and make sure that correct firmware version is used: https://chiplesssolutions.com/download/WFC5210_FWG242TL_ZZ99Z9.zip

Good day. Your printer must be either in normal mode or recovery mode, your screenshot shows update summary and in this particular state it will not accept another firmware no matter what. Shutdown the printer, then start it normally via power button and try again.

Please, describe your actions with as much details as possible, also, please, try to update firmware one more time but this time in normal mode (i.e. same mode that is used for printing) and then use updater again. Also try following steps: 1. Upload Epson original firmware to your printer (update firmware from epson site) 2. After that - upload chipless firmware from our site

So, did you manage to succesfully update this time? It supposed to reboot when updater shows 70 ~ 80%, after this you need to use license.exe

Good day. We do not provide chipless firmware for PX-5800 as of now.

By design XP-430 requires recognized ink cartridges (or more specifically that printer does not have any errors) during update in normal mode, what is the current printer status?

Good day. Please, read previous post and this topic:

Good day, please, try the version provided in the previous post.

What is the model of the printer and what message exactly is shows and where?

Good day. How many printers do you have installed in the system? See this topic:

Please, try to update in normal mode.

Good day. Here is the link: http://www.chiplesssolutions.com/download/WF2630_FWE728TL_LF99Z9.zip

Good day. We do not support update via usb memory stick for this device, please, try to update printer in normal more (just start the device normally and run firmware updater), if it fails you need to try to enter sevice mode again closely following instructions.

Please, use right firmware version - NW07K7. Upload firmware in NORMAL mode! https://chiplesssolutions.com/download/chipless/XP15000_FWG150TL_NW07K7_NW99Z9.zip

Yes, it will.

Good day. Can you explain in more details what exactly did you try and what happened? Also, did you try to update in normal mode?

Please, make sure that you are using latest version of the license.exe from here: hthttp://chiplesssolutions.com/download/License.zip and latest firmware version from here: https://chiplesssolutions.com/download/chipless/XP15000_FWG150TL_NW07K7_NW99Z9.zip also you need to update firmware in normal mode (just start the printer with power button).

Good day. You need to either use PC or virtual machine with windows, we do not have Mac compatible version of license executable. Firmware installation package is also windows only, so you will need to do entire process from PC.

Good day. Unfortunately, this particual version of the firmware has been blocked for your device either during manufacturing or via recent official firmware update. You need to use firmware from chipless solutions.
