the first time i let it run for 45 minutes, thinking it was done via regular firmware update process). The second time, probably 30 mins vy holding the vps button to force firmware process. The third time i left it for an hour and a half easily and i tried the debug file process. Maybe i need a different SD card, will need to buy one i cant find a single one in the house.
I hadnt looked at the camera last night, just did now .. the light stays green the entire time, never once turns red. I've seen alot of weird things in firmware by now, but havent seen this before. When its in this process red/green, i cannot connect RC so its definitely in some mode.
Will see if i can try another SD card tonight, maybe its that. Appreciate the help and thoughts guys
