For those that the F1 & power button sequence didn't work try the below. It's from Drew Armentrout who is a senior product specialist with Roland. I'm not sure why the instructions didn't have this listed along with the other method. Updating the OCTAPAD SPD-30: 1 With the OCTAPAD’s power off, insert the USB stick into the OCTAPAD’s rear-panel USB MEMORY jack. 2 While holding down the OCTAPAD’s MUTE and MENU buttons, turn on the OCTAPAD. 3 When your OS version number appears in the display, release the MUTE and MENU and press Button 1. 4 When “completed!” appears in the display, turn the OCTAPAD’s power off. 5 Remove the USB key, and then turn the OCTAPAD on again. 6 Perform a Factory Reset as described on page 20 in the Owner’s Manual.
I've plugged 5 different usb flash drive and none of them can be connected to the SPD-30. Same problem happens on 2 SPD-30's already. Just none of the USB drive is a roland. Any known issue about this?
Holding down the F3 button while pressing the Power button is not working for me. The Octapad apparently is not recognizing my USB key. I've tried everything. I've done all the steps you've talked about in this video, but when I get to that part, it still doesn't work. Any ideas? Does the key itself absolutely HAVE to be made by Roland? Where can I buy a Roland USB key?
Thanks for posting. I'm about to do this update but I've got loops I don't want loose, any suggestion as to how I can do this simply? If I don't do the factory reset, will I still have my saved phrase loops and the updated version, or is the reset absolutely necessary to get the new kits?
do I have to do this to upload my own samples? I just want to add my own wav samples and make my own kits but octapad doesn't seem to read the files, only reads .bin files?
hello sir can any one help me .....my bistake i changed kit no 7 that is groovindrum kit .... can i get the same sound ...or how can i find default system ...
buenas noches saludos desde Colombia mi pregunta es : para la roland spd 30 black no aplica esta actualización me pueden ayudar con este dilema que triste que no se pueda

Is it possible to use the Octapad as a guitar looper (for live guitar riffs) like the Alesis Strike Multipad shown in this video (without any foot pedal)? th-cam.com/video/0_xyK00UuxQ/w-d-xo.html
so how do i get all my recorded loops back because this requires formatting your USB? i even copied all my info onto my computer in a folder before formatting it. I tried to put it back onto my USB after the update and it was still all gone. years worth of work is gone thanks to this update, and for what? double the amount of kits????? F(@#ING BS, THANKS ROLAND!!!
+Brandon Hambright There are two things here 1) data recover from pen drive/pc 2) kits copy from spd30 to pen drive before up-gradation to ver2 1) If you want data recovery from a formatted pen drive,a lot of beautiful free software available on net.You can also recover now itself either from your PC/Pen drive. 2) Most Important in up-gradation to version 2, First of all backup your each kit separately from spd30 to pen drive as an extra precautionary measure. a) MENU > USB >insert empty usb drive to your spd-30 b) now rotate the round knob which is just below the F3 button(Enter button),then you will get a list of kits on spd30. c) just copy by highlighting each kit and send to pen drive. d) like this transfer each kit on to pen drive. ****** in my opinion if you press "backup all" will get a file "BACKUP01.BIN" , i think it is a system file containing environment but not the kits. you can fonfirm this by checking you backup folder ROLAND>SPD30>DATA01>ki(IN THIS FOLDER all your kits with an extension name .bin supposed to be there,if this folder is empty better to copy each kit in the above method.
awesome demo just updated my Original spd30 works great thanks

Thanks a lot mate! Far more concise than the Roland website!
Thank you so much sir, it worked for me and the problem is solved. 👍👍

I was able to get it to work with a 16 gb sandisk. But not my 2GB, 4GB, and 32GB drives both generic and Sandisk.

There are two things here 1) data recover from pen drive/pc 2) kits copy from spd30 to pen drive before up-gradation to ver2
1) If you want data recovery from a formatted pen drive,a lot of beautiful free software available on net.You can also recover now itself either from your PC/Pen drive.
2) Most Important in up-gradation to version 2, First of all backup your each kit separately from spd30 to pen drive as an extra precautionary measure.
a) MENU > USB >insert empty usb drive to your spd-30
b) now rotate the round knob which is just below the F3 button(Enter button),then you will get a list of kits on spd30.
c) just copy by highlighting each kit and send to pen drive.
d) like this transfer each kit on to pen drive.
******
in my opinion if you press "backup all" will get a file "BACKUP01.BIN" , i think it is a system file containing environment but not the kits.
you can fonfirm this by checking you backup folder ROLAND>SPD30>DATA01>ki(IN THIS FOLDER all your kits with an extension name .bin supposed to be there,if this folder is empty better to copy each kit in the above method.
