Flash settings stuck on Sync Terminal on XT2

[Argentus]

Hello. I just acquired a EF X20 Flash. I put it on the hot shoe but my XT2 (firmware 4.40) recognizes it as in sync terminal. So I can only acces the Manual mode (the TTL Mode in Flash Settings is grayed out). The flash does fire on Manual, but the TTL is not working.

When I put the EF X8 Flash, it simply does not even fire. 

I am on single shot and mechanic shutter.

Any ideas what might be happening?

Thanks a lot!

Have you selected Silent Mode?

Flash will not work if you have

Hello Neil. No, I am using the mechanical shutter.

Hi Argentus, i have the same problem. Did you ever get it sorted ?

Just ran into the same problem. The contacts are dirty, rub hotshoe with an eraser and then rubbing alcohol. Fixed it.

Hi, I have the new fujifilm xt4 and a Godox 860ii but they’re not syncing. Infact I don’t even get the M in sync terminal, it shows as off with no option to turn it on. Please help I’ve been trying to figure it out for 4 hours watching numerous videos. Thanks
