Phew, thank you for this. It worked for me but possibly for less obvious reasons, firstly, holding the top rotating button was the thing that woke it up each time it crashed, and second, it wasn't obvious that you have to go find the v1.1 of the G3 app to do the firmware update options page, since the version number appears only in the support page title and not in the actual G3 download page which doesn't tell you its version number
I bricked it. MoLight provided a GREAT TUTORIAL. My case was different and it did not work because I did not use the provided Godox cable. USE GODOX PROVIDED CABLE!
Weird thing. Mine was bricked, I went through the process several times because it keeps stopping with a DEVICE ERROR.. I got tired of this and just powered it on and it's updated to the current version 1.15 Just mind blowing
Well I must have done something wrong as it was bricked. Brand new Windows PC and used to do all of this. I tried and tried on my PC and going nowhere. I went to another (also new FWIW) and BINGO this worked the first time on said other PC.......Scratching my head still. I hope this helps and thanks for the helpful vid.
Very good tip on the two button fix. However, the new installer is now the G3 software and the X3 firmware file is on version v1.15. I have attempted your method on TWO new devices, both ended up bricked beyond return. Unfortunately the fix in this video does not apply as a fix. I have contacted Godox technical support for assistance and they have directed me back to your video! Wondering if you have any insight/ have learned anything new since the posting of this video. Thank you so much!
Sorry to hear you have not had success. There must be a snag somewhere in your process, as you can see the number of folks that this has worked for just from the comments. Yes, it is the G3 firmware launcher that I reference in the video, but it must be the v1.1, which I also reference. Is it possible you have v1? Are you using the cord that came with your X3? Are you on PC or Mac? I have had a few reports from Mac users where they had to attempt the process multiple times before it would work. Without being involved in their process, I do not know if that is a Mac thing or a user thing.
OK I got bricked and followed your instructions but when you dropped yours i accidentally pushed another button whilst pulling the cable out. Tried several times and it did not work. I uninstalled and went through the whole process again and now it works,. Phew!!
I first charged the X3 then followed these steps. After following these steps for updating and unplugging the unit, it does not power on. I tried the process 3 times from the start each time with no luck. It's still won't power on after unplugging. Maybe I need to drop test mine too?!?... 🙂 Any suggestions?
I'm guessing maybe I downloaded an older version of the Godox G3 firmware update by mistake?... I downloaded it again making sure I had the current V1.1 and ran through the steps again and it worked! Thank you for the video! I would've been stuck without it!
Thank you very much; you've saved my X3N. I had to attempt the process six or seven times on a Mac before successfully completing the upgrade.
Thank you so much my friend. You made my day. Your tutorial works perfectly. I was afraid to ship my X3 for aftersale.

@@steventhompson558 Just making sure you are using the cord that came with it?
@@MoLightStore Yes thanks. I'm using the data cable that came with the X3.
