Problems downloading firmware

[Jacko]

It seems there isn't a definitive solution to resolve "NEW FIRMWARE NOT TO BE FOUND. TURN OFF THE CAMERA." 

I have 3 x prime lenses for my XE-2, and recently fell back into using it daily after a very long time. As it had been so long, I first upgraded the body to 4.11, then tried to update each of my lenses. Not one download (.DAT) file has worked on either.

Due diligence was executed whilst trying to update the firmware on each lens to no avail.

I'm savvy with upgrades and tried: formatting repeatedly, different computers & cards, downloading files direct to card, using different batteries, lens on, lens off, checking file names, and even balancing on my thumb whilst performing the former, but, still no joy.

So, has anybody successfully updated a lens from 1.00 to 1.01 or beyond on an XE-2 running firmware version 4.11?

Maybe, the answer is, the XE-2 running 4.11 firmware does not support any lens updates from 2019, but a response from google ai discounts that.

I'd be grateful for for any help on the above.

🙏🏼

Hi ! I've got the exact same issue with my XT5 and 16-55 f2.8 II ... 

My xt5 is on 4.31 

Lens is 1.00 
I tried it with both files (XFUP0019.DAT and XFUP0064.DAT), together and individually on the SD card, formatted it everytime I tried a new combination. 

My guess is that having access to older firmware updates could help, since there is a big jump (8 updates) between 1.00 and 1.33 

Does anybody know where i could find the older firmware update files ? 

Thanks,
