Afterhaving built it, I have copied gcode files on 4 different usb sticks, but although the keys were recognized by the printer, the content wasn't seen. So impossible to launch any printing. The firmware on the printer is the 4.2.1, and al the sticks have been formated under FAT32 format. Nothing works. It looks like the usb stick reader cannot read the file system.
I have tried something else : I have connected the printer on my LAN, with one USB stick inserted, and then asked the printer to Save the LAN configuration onto the key (Settings / Lan / Save). Re-inserting my USB key into my laptop, it happens that the printer could create the .ini file on the stick, which has been a surprise. Since that moment, any gcode that I have copied afterwards on the key file could be read by the printer.
However, Windows 10 on my laptop tells me that the key has some errors, which makes me think that the format of the file system update by the printer is a bit different from the one generated by windows. A bit strange...
I've had similar issues, but not gotten to the same results. Every USB key I've had an issue with was USB3 with the blue insert. All of my USB2 keys work great. I've gotten some of the USB3 keys to work correctly, but in the mad dash of troubleshooting, I lost track of what actually fixed it on the solution that worked. Now that I've gone over to Octoprint, it's a non issue.

Thank you very much. I have had this issue with any USB keys, and I could sort it out by copying several gcode files on a personal usb stick. I have reported the issue to Prusa, hoping that it could help improving this very good printer.
After the prusa usb kept watchdog erroring i swapped to a sandisk ultra usb3 memory stick and it worked fine, i swapped in an older sandisk usb2 and it behaved exactly as described, formatted ok but no files were visible.
Check whether the USB drive is formatted as GPT or MBR, it has to be MBR. Just formatting a drive keeps GPT or MBR as it was. I had this issue once, took me a while to figure it out. I told the support to add this critical step to their knowledge base instruction, but it did not happen yet..
I am at my wit's end here as to why the Mini firmware will not update, and I am hoping that somebody can help me out. My Mini is currently on 4.0.5 and I am trying to get it updated to 4.1.0. I have download the firmware both directly from Github and from Prusa's driver website (separate sticks and separate attempts. I have reset it with the USB in and tried from within the menu, nothing is working. Other then this issue it is brilliant and I love it, please help.
Do you mean it is not giving you the option to flash the new firmware? Try this: as you reset the Mini with the USB in, when the first screen comes up, double click the scroll wheel. This is how you get it to recognize a previous version of firmware (if you wanted to downgrade), but maybe it will help in your case.
I am currently running the 4.4.1 firmware. I have been unable to get the printer to update to 5.1.0. I have tried multiple USBs. It won't even revert to any other version I try to flash to it. Could it really just be the USBs? The printer can see the USBs and print from them, but no update ever starts when I reboot. I have checked the setting too on the Mini FW Update Setting.
Can anyone help? Which .bbf file in the 5.1.0 firmware zip is english? OR do all six unzipped files get loaded onto the usb for the final step in this final step of the mini v4.1 to v5.1 firmware update!?
You have to update in steps. I would do each one, as some have a boot loader update. As mine would not auto update, I pressed the reset button and spam clicked the selector nob, and got it to update. Took about 30min to do all, but was well worth it
Firmware updates provide new features and correct issues. We always recommend that you update to the latest version of the firmware. The latest version also contains the changes from previous versions.
Ensure that your USB memory stick is formatted using FAT32 (with an MBR) otherwise the update file will not be detected. When updating please ensure that your THE64/Mini or THEVIC20 only has one joystick or mouse connected to it. If you are upgrading a THEVIC20 or THEC64 we recommend using the rear USB port for your memory stick (note THEC64 Mini does not have a rear USB port). We do not recommend plugging the USB stick into a USB hub to perform the update. See the FAQ for further details.

Greetings, I am trying to update the firmware on my G9. I have tried 6 or 7 different USB devices ranging from old USB 2.0 1GB devices to USB 3.0 32GB devices. Each time I get the same response from the montior "No USB devices detected". I verified I am in the port labeled "Service" which if you are facing the monitor (like you are using it) is on the far left hand side. Thank you.
EDIT - I tried using an old stick that was 500MB but had an access light on it. I notice that light comes on for a fraction of a second when the stick is first inserted into the service port but it never comes on during the update process.
EDIT #2 - Using a usb extension cable I was able to watch the stick the whole time through the update process. The access light does flash for another fraction of a second but I just get the same message each time.
I finally got it to say "No update file found" a few times. So apparently it was able to read one of the drives but not reliably. I got that messages twice (not sure why because the img file was there on the root) before it went back to "No USB devices detected". In the case where it looked like it could not find the file (but read the stick) I was using a small 2GB stick formatted FAT32.
Also, I have a handful of old 2GB devices. It seems if I freshly format one and put the files on it, the monitor will read it a few times as I get the cannot find file error vs no usb devices detected and then it will start just constantly giving me no usb devices error.
I have the file on the drive so when I actually do get it to read it I am not sure why it does not find it nor do I have any earthly clue why it will only read the drive a few times and then go back to complaining about no usb devices detected. I am at a total loss.
I just keep getting "no usb drive detected" over and over again like it does not see the drive. But that is an assumption on my part, that error could show for anything who knows. Well except for the 3 or so times it acted like it read it and said it could not find the file (even though it was on there).
The stick that worked I bought because I had seen it mentioned on reddit that others with USB issues on this monitor got this stick to work. And the same is for me. I have no idea why, its just FAT32 (I did not format it I used the factory setup), its USB 2.0 (like several other sticks I tried), it's from Sandisk (others I tried were as well) and it is 16GB.
having all these same problems. tried that cruzer glide. tried USB 3.0s 3.1s still no luck. tried different formatting methods. tried extracting the zip inside the usb. tried it all. i believe i have bad usb ports. my serial number is also unrecogonzibale to Samsung.
Im trying to update firmware on my SSD drive. However, when I hold down the option key it requires a password to select a disk. This does not allow for the .iso imagine, on the DVD, to be seen so I can update my drive. How do I remove this requirment in 10.8.2?
Another method that I used is: assuming you can log into OS X and have sudo abilities then open the terminal and type "sudo nvram -p" where the password will be your login password. It will display the security password string. Then type "sudo nvram -d security-password". Reboot. Should be gone. Then you can reboot and hold down command-R to boot into the recovery console and set a new password or just leave it alone. At any rate, I've had to do this a few times myself as I forget what I set the firmware password to.
Hey, try this, it might help you remove your forgotten firmware password. Try removing 1 stick of ram from your computer, leave the other one alone, then turn on your computer, then write away press and hold the command, option, p, and r keys. After you here the startup chime beep 4 times, you can release the keys, then turn off your computer and put the stick of ram you removed, you should be good to go. Let me know if this helps you.
