Hi @Alec, yes indeed. You can follow the steps outlined[here](https://discuss.blues.com/t/announcing-the-q2-2021-developer-firmware-release/276) to upgrade your Notecards. ---

The doc is not updated since the “Update” button is not there. If I select the device and click on “NoteCard Firmware”, I can ask for an update but it’s not updating. I waited few days without success. The current version is 1.2.3.10781. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/blues/original/1X/1513f5e6a294d16a2d77f5db6c6ad61a48e992ac.png) ---

What do you see in the Notecard Firmware tab for your device? Example below from one of mine that I just kicked off an update for. ![Screen Shot 2021-06-30 at 10.26.46 AM](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/blues/original/1X/2f9e6afc219def43b390e3bb050efb0833d3a258.png) ---

I see this: ![image.png](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/blues/original/1X/81aebcf45ad8ce6db71598d52f5964093c347d34.png) If I click on “Update Notecard Firmware” I get this: ![image.png](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/blues/original/1X/a18c14150d8be845925cf5d530aea1c8a2a6593b.png) Last week, I clicked on “Update” for the firmware 1.5.5 but nothing happened for days even if I forced the sync… ---

Can you try clicking Update for 1.5.5 and keeping an eye on it? The Notecard Firmware tab should update right away letting you know that the update is pending and a download will start with the next sync. ---

Like I wrote previously, I tried to update this way without success. I tried again with the same result. ---

Just to clarify, are you saying that you clicked the “Update” button under 1.5.5 on the Notecard Firmware tab for your device and nothing happened? I want to make sure I understand the issue you are seeing. ---

I can see the update is pending but nothing happen after multiple manual sync (tried this morning) and automatic sync (tried last week for few days). ![image.png](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/blues/original/1X/dd286cbc2089b07464c75c1542b97d4d6a0e2efb.png) ---

Odd. Can you confirm that your Notecard has started a new session with Notehub since you kicked off an update? These will appear as `_session.qo` events like in the image below: ![Screen Shot 2021-06-30 at 12.39.42 PM](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/blues/original/1X/3d27a854916c3fccc4fa398354dc60705fa3b48b.png) ---

Yes it has connected since the request. The current request is at 12h34 and the last seen is 13h10. ---

Hey @Alec I just noticed that you’re running a pre-GA version of the Notecard firmware, and I suspect the issue is a long since fixed bug that prevented Notecard DFU when a device was operating in continuous mode. You can switch to periodic on the Notecard side, or do a manual update over USB following the instructions [here](https://discuss.blues.com/t/manually-update-notecard-firmware/147). ---

I’m already in periodic mode and I would prefer not doing it the manual way… ---

Hi Alec, I completely understand. However, since you’re running a pre-GA, beta version of the Notecard firmware and we’ve since added a number of features and fixes related to Notecard DFU that are not present on the version you’re running, I suggest taking the manual approach for now. I can confirm that once you get to 1.5.3 or later, the OTA DFU process is quite smooth. I know the offline approach is a hassle however, so if you would rather jump on a call and I can walk you through it over screen share, I am happy to do so. ---

Hi, I did the update but now, there’s an error on the “DFU Status”: ![image.png](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/blues/original/1X/10925420eb428ea903299a246e683059bb2bb3e6.png) If I click on “Error”, I get this: ![image.png](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/blues/original/1X/9dbe2351698049007a0680afb298631ac8688e3b.png) However, the cards seem to be working ok. Did I do something wrong? Thank you. ---

Hey Alec, no you didn’t do anything wrong. That “Error” shows up when a Notecard gets an offline firmware update after an OTA is requested. Not a problem in your case.
