EOS R6 Mark II won't update firmware

[lazya]

My camera will not update the firmware 1.30. It just restates the camera without updating

It finally updated! Thanks all! I removed the battery grip, put the FIR. on both extreme Pro cards. And now this time it is updating for some reason; I had already tried this before.Anyway, Happy that it finally worked.

How are you updating the firmware? With an SD card? Or via software on a computer?

SD card

Is the file on your SD card using an .FIR extension?

I've updated my other cameras without incident, this new R6ii will not update.

What mode do you have the camera in? And when does the camera restart? At the point of powering it on, or are you able to navigate to the Firmware update menu, and select OK?

P mode. It will go to the screen asking me if I want to update the camera to 1.3.0. It then hesitates and then will restart.

While it's hesitating, do you have a grayed out "OK" selection option to the right of Cancel? If so, tap OK (even though it's gray).

I've tried 3 different cards. I think I will wait a week when I have more time to troubleshoot this.

Thank you for your time Ricky

For SD cards, be sure to be using full-sized ones from reputable brands.  Micro-sized cards that require an adapter can lead to all kinds of issues.
