The ability to flash into your Poly either boot code or the software itself should work as long as your Poly can get into FLASH mode.

If you want to get to version 2.65, you MUST have boot code version 1.98, 1.99 or 2.00.

If you try to run 2.65 on boot code that is below 1.98, it will NOT work.

Upgrading the boot code requires sending the boot code to the synth in FLASH mode and then swapping the boot rom with the flash rom next to it.

If you don't swap the chips, then the boot software is NOT upgraded.

It seems there is no way to update the boot code at the moment. Since I've tried to downgrade the software the synth is not able to receive Midi anymore. Setup is still the same, was working before and not working now.

You think is necessary for me to upgrade the boot ROM on the Hawk 800 or would be the code enough?

I'm new to this and I've recently got my first Poly800 so any help is really appreciated.

Thank you in advance
