Don't want to upgrade epson xp231

[Andres R 0]

Hello. The last upgrade for epson xp231 ((FO04JA  04/10/2019) is not allowing firmware downgrade. So license program and chipless solution does not work anymore for that printer.

Some solution by now?

Good day. Please, try to use latest version of the firmware:

make sure that all epson services and processes are disabled and try to update in normal working mode.

-It does not work. I tried several time. The new firmware from Epson ((FO04JA  04/10/2019) Cannot be erased.

-When you say "normal working model", you mean no maintenance mode? I tried this too. Didn't work.

-How can I be sure that all epson services and processes are disabled?

 

Best regards.

Upload new firmware - http://chiplesssolutions.com/download/XP230_FWE857TL_ZZ99ZZ.zip to printer in normal mode.

Upload it to your printer in normal mode - Don't put printer in Program Update mode before uploading.

When printer accept 80% it may turn off. Then close Updater  in task manager

Then run License.exe and make activation with your key

Good day. In order to update fimrware on XP-230/231 in normal mode printer must be ready to print, you either need to install original cartridges temporarily or compatible CIS that is still recognized.
