Greetings allworxphoto,

I'm sorry to hear that you're experiencing issues with updating the firmware on your EOS R6 camera. Aside from formatting the memory card, let's try using a different memory card, preferably under 64GB in size. Please remove the second memory card from the camera while updating the firmware in case there's a secondary card in the camera. In case the issue persists then we would suggest to please send in your EOS R6 to our facility for service.
