Hello, I took a quick gander at that article you sent along. What you need to ensure is that you have the latest firmware it’s kind of quirky in the old firmware they say. If your using 1.40 then you should have better success. Also you need to ensure your connected to the appropriate channel to make this happen. So you need to press s2 which should be on the left side and then the number of the channel that the IOS is associated with. Does this help at all?
