Error after update to FW 2.0.0 (not beta)

[isynx]

Today I updated the FW from 2.0.0 beta to 2.0.0 but then got error after rebooting saying: An error has occured.

Turn the power OFF and check the NINTENDO GAMECUBE Instruction Booklet for further instructions.

Just got and installed my GC Loader HW2 today and I can't update. It seems to think that firmware "2.0.0.GCLOADER_HW2" is higher than "2.0.1.BETA" perhaps? When I launch the update it just shows the two top lines that display the update and the current detected firmware, but does not give the prompt of press A to start update process. However I still have a notification that a new firmware is present every time I boot up and launch into Swiss. Any suggestions?

I just got my two GC Loaders.. I have tried both of them and have the exact same issues on both..

1. Can't upgrade the firmware from 2.0.0 to 2.0.1, same issue as pkbroot apparently.
2. I notice as the system boots I see a quick message on the screen, looks like an error message in a red box (like the box it shows your resolution), it says 0x 0i60.. Not sure what that is, but it only flashes for a second then goes to Swiss.
3. I can't get it to boot my Sandisk 1TB SD Card (https://a.co/d/cdFC5bb). Works with my 512GB Samsung Evo though. Used Fat32 (even tried exFAT).
4. Last, the reboot button isn't work, I can be in a game and hit reboot and it just goes to a black screen and nothing else happens.

I emailed Dan as well, hopefully he will get this sorted quickly :) Looking forward to playing some games!

@pkbroot @kurohouou it sounds like you should report this in a different issue, since this issue here was for upgrading the original version of GCLoader. Your issues seem to be related to HW2 being incompatible with firmwares made for the original GCLoader.

[pkbroot]

Good idea, I did that.

Yeah, Dan said 2.0.1 isn't for the new hardware so that solved that problem.. Only issues I have really now are,

1. My 1TB Sandisk MicroSD card can't be read, waiting on a new one from Amazon to test that, but I heard the older GCLoaders work with 1TB so hoping its just too new of a card maybe??
2. The reboot button on the console itself doesn't work, I put my OG game controller ports back in (had the blueretro in before) but had the same issue so its not that. That said, the software reboot works in game and honestly thats probably more important ;)

3. But ill stop commenting here as these issues arent related to this bug really.. so moving on.. just wanted to give a quick update incase someone comes across this.

Today I directly updated from 1.1.2 to 2.0.1 (not BETA) without any issues (DOL-001 (USA), IPL 1.1).

Above person was using a bitfunx clone. We do not provide support for these.

I have just uploaded version 2.0.1.BETA to the repository. I am pretty positive that this will fix the issues. Black Dog Tech and I have tested this firmware on returned boards and all of them worked with this firmware.

It also has additional recovery options that can also recover from random crashes (as was happening 2.0.0, but they should also be gone now with this firmware).

I will keep the firmware BETA for now, but can hopefully kick it out of BETA soon. If there still happen to be problems, do not hesitate to contact me (gc-loader.com) or black dog tech and we will get your unit fixed.

Did not work for me! Still continue to have a bricked GC with no findable solution

Where did you purchase your GCLoader from?
