When trying to Update Firmware, it says File Error.
If I mess up, can the earlier firmware be uploaded back into the ESC?
Pardon the ignorance as Surpass online support is non-existent, almost nothing helpful available from them.
I did update the program box first of all so I cant confirm whether its essential to update to allow the new ESC firmware to flash or not but for me, I did these steps:
Copied LCD Firmware 1.04 and ESC Firmware 1.11 to the MicroSD card in a folder called 'Firmware'
Connected to ESC, turned on etc
Flashed Program Box to 1.04 (cant remember if I turned off/on but cant be a bad thing to do)
Flashed ESC to 1.11
All flashed without any errors, for me at least.

I was on ESC version 1.05 before and LCD version 1.03. I havent tried downgrading to be honest.
