HyVibe Firmware Installation Instructions

UPDATE THE HYVIBE WITH THE MOBILE APP

– Step 1: Check the firmware version in the System menu on the guitar. If you have V1.2.3, you do not need to update your guitar. The features in each of the versions is exactly the same.

– Step 2: Connect your HyVibe System to the HyVibe Mobile App. The app will ask you if you’d like to update your guitar. Say yes! The app will then automatically update and restart your guitar. Keep the phone near the guitar during the updating process. 

If your guitar and app are disconnected during the process, simply reconnect and begin the process again. If you receive an error message, format the flash on the HyVibe System and begin the process again.

To format the flash: turn off the guitar, hold the center button, and while pressing down on the center button, click the volume knob. Then release the center button. The boot loader menu will appear. Scroll to the ‘Format’ menu and choose the option to format the drive. You can then restart the HyVibe System.
