Get the Godox firmware here: www.godox.com/EN/Download.html
Note: If you don't see the firmware filename extension ".bin" that may be because your setup of Windows doesn't show the 3-character filename extension. If that's the case, don't worry about it and just look at the filename itself -- which should tell you what you need to know.

#godox #firmware #update - วิทยาศาสตร์และเทคโนโลยี
Wow, I never would have thought it would be so complicated. Thanks for making it so clear. Godox, if you're listening, you really should make firmware updates much easier!
What a convoluted process. Thank you for making it clear. Have great weekend.
Thanks, you too!
could not have updated my TT350 without this! thank you!
You are a gent, this has saved me from having a breakdown with the Godox tech i own
Oh my goodness! That is a bit complicated. Particularly the need to remove the batteries!
Thanks for this, it will stop a lot of frustration!
Hope you have a great weekend!
Thankyou soo much for this.I haven't as yet updated my flash gear to the Z firmware but this shows the process perfectly.
The tip to take out the batteries is what I needed, thank you!
I am really curious how you manage to find this obscure processes that some manufacturers seem to love to throw at their consumers. Bravo!! For Godox on the other hand (although I like and use their products) I think the “Torquemada Award” is well deserved.
hahaha, thanks!!! I have no life.
You are amazing! Thanks for making all this stuff so easy to follow! Love your sense of humor!
Godox made it hard. You made it much easier. Thank you!
Pal, you're an absolute legend! Who would of thought the batteries needed removing before the x2t would connect. Thumbs/Subs.... Thanks for the content
Thanks a lot Chris!!! I'll follow your advice (my Godox is working fine).
ones again thanks I just got a7iv and my Godox wasn't working but you explained so well man thank you so much now is working great
My godox V860IIS flashes did not work in manual mode. After this update all 4 of them are working now in manual mode too. You explained every thing calm and perfect. Thanks a lot.
Once again you have produced the goods. This would be a minefield without your help. You are much appreciated, keep up the brilliant work 👍😀
Many thanks! So nice of you Colin!!!!
Great information. My city is currently in COVID lockdown and I was considering updating the firmware for "something to do" around the house. Thanks to you, I will save the aggravation, leave the firmware as-is and just take some pictures around the house instead.
Sounds great!
You use all the same equipment as me, it's incredible, thank you so much for having great taste
5:05 OMG this ... THIS !!! .... you are a lifesaver
Wow really great and useful tutorial Chris!
Appreciate you taking the headache away with these firmware updates.
Wasn't able to update the speedlite I think it's the USB driver but was able to update the remote trigger.
Try also a different cord. That worked for me.
@@pal2tech I was able to get it to work using a laptop instead of my PC. Thanks for your help.
All good tips however I had issues using Godox updater(s) and in my case it wasn't the cable, firewall or anything computer related preventing the update(s). After contacting Godox and trying their suggestions I finally figured out It was the actual Godox install package that was the issue. It was corrupt on their site and didn't have the correct "files" to recognize the product(s). Instead I used the Adorama Flashpoint series updater and it worked perfectly for my V860iin and Xpro transmitter. In case you aren't aware: Adorama brand flashes are just Godox rebranded and all of their accessories and updates are compatible with each other. Hopefully those who got the corrupt software can use this tip.
Your simply the best teacher for literally all the products that I own, capture one, Fuji cameras, and Godox lights.
Pure gold, thank you!
You bet!
Very helpfull video! my new x-t5 did not work with the Godox V1f so i choose to update the Godox. But despite all the good advices and following the steps it dit not connect. Then i switchted from " usb-c / usb-c" to " usb-c / usb" cable and it connected. So keep that also in mind.
Happy Thanksgiving to you, too!
Watching it in January 2022: The X2T-F connected immediately, despite batteries in it. Don't know why, but still very very glad for the video.
awsome, you really helped me out. It's working flawless for my Godox V860II(N), X1T24G(N) combined with the Nikon Z6II
How'd you manage that. Mine isn't recognized when I plug it in using multiple cables.🤔
@@RogersPhotographyGuilford did you follow the full instruction? Did you remove the battery?
You, sir, are a saint! I successfully updated the firmware on several TT685N flashes from V3.2 to V3.3. Just FYI, this firmware file is a “.fri” file, not a “.bin” file. With firmware V3.3 I can confirm that the TT685N now offers iTTL and high speed sync with the Nikon Z6 mark II (and by extension likely all of the Z bodies). Awesome!
Any idear why the godox installer won't connect to my ttl685fn? Used multiple USB cables. The laptop beeps to recognise a connection but the installer will not. So frustrated as its been months now without the ttl which I need. I'm considering buying another unit but how would anyone know if its got the updated firmware for a nikon z6ii?
@@callumjohnson9433 Sorry to hear you're having issues with this... you did type "ttl685fn" which is not a Godox model number. To be clear the TTL685F is for Fuji, and the TTL685N is for Nikon. There is no "FN" flavor. Verify you have the correct flash. Other than that, I have no idea why it's not working for you... Maybe your version of Windows isn't playing nice? Did you remove the batteries? You'll know it's correct when the flash has firmware V3.3.
@@tomweis1194 yeah it's the ttl685n, not sure how the f got in there. I have removed batteries and done all the different trouble shooting that's online. I'm using Windows 11 by the way.
How were you able to open the .fri file? 7 zip won't open it.
Thank you. You did it again.
Nice Thank you...Now i Can refer this video for anyone😍
Its complicated but you explained really well
Thanks bro. This is priceless lesson. Thank you once again, greatly appreciate it.
Thank you so much!!! 🙏
Thank you so much for this video! Godox updates royally sucks. That’s why, since my first and only try, I’ve never update mines but today you bring hope! Thank you so much!
🤔 This Fast Friday was awesome! 🤗
Wow! great job! worked great!
YOU are my hero.
Just what the doctor ordered thanks
Thanks for the tip!
This whole process is so cumbersome, and it ain't broke, so I have never contemplated updating (if it even is available for my Godox gear). I have a Mac, so learned early on that it was not an option, have blissfully lived in ignorance since :)
Thanks so much for this information. I own only Mac. So I will ask my son for the update on his windows machine
Thank you for help.
I didn’t even know you had to update your Godoy flash. I will have to check
THANK YOU for this video!
You bet!
To be fair: the doc states
"Please discharge the device before updating.
For X1T-F: Remove the battery and press the test button for 2 seconds"
Also, remember to use a proper micro USB cable. Some are only for charging. Figured out the hard way :o)
Thanks
What a nightmare. Thanks for the thorough video. Haven't been able to update it yet, as I have Mac:/
Thanks!! This video was great instruction.
Thanks!
Thanks Mate, Very Helpful. Would have stuffed this up without some of those essential tips.
Great Video. 💯
Thank you.
Thank you for the great and helpful video
You are welcome! 👍
This is very useful. Thank you. I just don't have a window so I'm stuck
thank you bro
Gold !!!!!! thank you
Thxs for the tip I had to figure all this out on my own but I did it but now u made a video for others thxs for your help again
No problem 👍
WOW !! Ehy Chris..every time is the same story...your video tutorials open a....world !! Great Suggest "" I have a XT2 - a 685 and a 600 speedlight from Godox...and for sure I'm going to check if there are some update. THX a lot and enjoy your time
Great to hear! Thanks Cristiano!!!
Thank you very much... 👍👍👍😃👋👋
You are a saint!!!
You're the best!
thx a lot😊
🙏❤️meny meny thank u sir
That a really great Chris.I have a question please.Does the Fuji Xt3 take a several shots in multi exposure settings or only Two shots and that what I found. And one day you explained a bout Godox flash unit is there a chance to show us how to use the HSS (high sync speed)
I do really appreciate Chris 😘
Once again you’ve cleared the Fog 👍 Can’t wait for your cooking channel 😂
Hello, thanks for the video. You are very familiar with the devices, great tips! I have a question and can not find a solution: if I am in slave mode and the flash is unleashed via the X1T trigger - the flash unit flashes red on the front at an interval of 1 second for the entire time. Can you turn off this stupid blinking somehow / somewhere? It's frustrating!!!
Thanks for the explanation....I was spending way to much time convinced I was a dummy not able to update the X1T using MACOS....You'd think GODOX might do us all a favour and just give us a MACOS G1, G2 app!?
Great video
Do u know how can I prevent the iso in R6 to jump auto when using v350?!
Great video! I have an E5 Error on my new V1 flash with a continuous beeping sound and it says please contact the after sales service!
I think I maybe messed up a firmware upgrade using G3 but reinstalled the Bin file a few more times anyway but still no luck! is there anyway to fix this like an older update somewhere or do I need to replace it from B&H which is no problem at all? Thanks
Question.If I update the Nikon z firmware,will the flash still work with Nikon DSLR do you know?
Thanks for this as I've been struggling with this for ages. I can't seem to download the G3 reader software for my X2TF, all I get is a PDF document downloading, anyone know what I can do? Thanks.
I updated the Godox V1F to version 1.2 on a iMac with OS Catalina. No problem! For MAcOS the 7-zip wasn't free. The UNARCHIVER is and does the same job! To start the Godox-update program you have to give permission in system-ref-ref because it's blocked bij Apple as a unknown file. Let's hope someday there will be a much smarter way to do this. Same for the Fujilim remote app. It sucks.
Do I really need these updates? I cannot thank you enough for this info but am left feeling very cynical about anything IT...come on guys cut us some slack!
Bless you Chris, please keep on keeping on 🤩
You and me both!
Can you put some photos with and without Flash on XT4 ?
Sir my Fujifilm xt3 stuck in TTL model can't switch in manual mode pllzzzzz help
Why does my go fox xt2 trigger not have the hss option meaning where I can activate it.
thanks!!! I'm a mac user, What can I do to update?
Hi, your video is great but the chart you display re the various firmware launchers does not appear on the Godox download website, have they moved it somewhere else, I just get a 404 error when trying to download it. Can you please help
Cheers for that Chris it should save a lot of swearing at my computer.

When will you do a review of Fuji Flash EF-60?
Have a godox v1 that just crapped out and won’t turn on… just past warranty. Can’t find any videos to fix. Any suggestions?
Those Godox units seem sweet, but dang, even for a flash their usability seems poor. I loved the Strobist 101 series back in the day and have been meaning to come back to speedlights with Fuji.
"If it ain't broke, don't fix it." That is worth its weight in gold as well. Sometimes firmware worm holes are not fun!
I've traveled through many.
Every time I hear that intro I feel it needs more cowbell 🤘🏽
LOL! I have several on order. They will also look good in the studio when I make my grand entrance. 👍 👍
@@pal2tech Make sure to choose the right one. They're not all the same. :-) (I used to race cyclocross; cowbells are essential to a successful race). www.cxmagazine.com/going-pro-more-cowbell-international-shootout
pal2tech my man Wayne Szalinski with the cowbells!! Haha YASS!!!

@@JimFeeley That's just so AWESOME!!!
I just got my Godox TT685II F and am trying to update following your instructions, I do not have a BIN file it is a FRI file. Any idea what I am doing wrong? This is so frustrating
Wow. Impressive explanation. However given the fact that I have to consult my instruction manual every time I use my XPro controller and three flashes, I think I will leave well enough alone.
I would assume I can use this for my Flashpoint products too, is that correct?
Z6 II. iTTL doesnt work , i ttry up 3 flash guns. Any idea of why could hapend? They do work in the Z6 iTTL
Brother please tell me godox tt350 s new firmware I have sony a6400 it will not properly work reply soon
i dont use flash, but thanks! love the video as always
Cool, thanks!!
thankyouu
I was able to download and update my AD200 and XPro S in G2 but G1 and my TT685s & X1Ts will not update when you hit connect. I used 7zip to convert the file but No luck getting these 2 Godox devices to update. Any thoughts? Certainly heard the prompt letting you know the cord worked in recognizing the TT685s. I guess I'll have to contact Godox and see if they can help at all?
Ohhhh my Dios!!!! 🤪 , thank you for your help 🙏🏽, thanks. thanks. thanks.......very much muchas infinitas gracias; I had tried for a day, I just do it, after i have seen it twice....... 😂 wonderful
You're welcome! Anytime!
Any idea why it failed to install drivers for G1 software? I am not able to upgrade my V860II on my windows 10. ._.
Can you use the godox firmwear updater for Flashpoint products
I'm not entirely sure - I've not tried that.
Thank you for the insight, really helpfull.. Btw this firmware 1.1 does it fix the problem xt3/xt4 freeze issue while using trigger the godox strobe? Thanks before
i mean for the transmitter x2t fuji firmware 1.1
hello, sir, I am from the Philippines and I always watch your video i just bought a godox tt350 for my fuji xt3 the problem is whenever i put batteries and attach it to my xt3 it's always blinking low and it won't connect to my xt3 I hope you can help me with it thank you and god bless...
No problems at all. Man so manny frustrations. Cool down.
Or get the update program possible link
ok..I have a MacBook and I just can't get the G3 software to recognize either my x2tc or ad200pro. I've removed batteries, I've discharged the Speedlight...I've banged my head on the table...nothing works :(
You could go to a friends house or library to use a PC.
How does this process work for updating the V1 Flash. There is no USB port in the flash.
Dont worry, I found it.
Great video my V1 is now working with my Nikon Z6 ii
Not flash related, but do you know Godox polarity (ledp120c)? No mention on device, manual,
support site or online. Also one asked this on Godox's YT channel
ledp120c video, but no answer from Godox??? Positive polarity I guess?
I'm still struggling to get my device to show up in their software?
