Arduino micro does't show up in device manager (as com port) after firmware update

[domasb]

Hello. I've been having this problem for a week now, trying to fix it. So I uploaded the XONE firmware successfully. Before flashing, Arduino pro micro was functioning properly (IT WAS RECOGNIZED IN DEVICE MANAGER, SHOWN AS ARDUINO MICRO PORT COM4). After flashing happen 2 very strange things:
1) If I connect arduino to computer without connecting it to xbox before, it doesn't even get registered as a new device in device manager
2) If I connect the wire from serial to xbox first, and then plug arduino into PC, it detects it as arduino micro BOOTLOADER (not just Arduino Micro as before) and disappears after a few seconds (disconnects).

I will upload a demonstration video and I also add support topic from arduino forum: https://forum.arduino.cc/t/micro-disapp ... nds/150004
Video: https://photos.app.goo.gl/Qowsv67ep2e7dMNL8 NOTE THAT I DON"T DISCONNECT THE CABLE, IT JUST SEEMS THAT ARDUINO IS MALFUNCTIONING AFTER FLASHING

I tried to fix it:
1)changed ports, cables, computers
2)changed arduino pro micro (if the previous was broken), did everything as wiki guide says

Nothing worked

How did you flash it?
I suggest that you use the Gimx Launcher built-in flasher.

I use your software. Also I've tried changing serial connects if they were mislabeled (rx-tx and tx-rx / rx-rx and tx-tx). Nothing changes.

Try to flash with another firmware and see if the problem persist.
If it does disconnect again there might be something with either your adruino that has malfunctioned (burnt? does it smell burnt?)

What do you mean by disconnecting again? It doesn't smell burnt and I've tried with 2 arduino's . I uploaded ps4 firmware and still the same bug.

Some people fix this problem by reseting the bootloader while code is uploading (but I can't see how is this ascociated with our scenario):

https://forum.arduino.cc/t/micro-disapp ... g%20right.

So in order for this device to work on your console the Arduino has to be connected to the console and the FT232R has to be connected to the PC. Just as stated in the tutorial. https://gimx.fr/wiki/index.php?title=Gu ... he_console

Since the firmware is succesfully installed on the arduino -based on your video that is a confirmation that the firmware is IN the ardiuno.

When firmware update is done you connect as stated in the wiki.
1. Connect AVR board (USB cable) to the console
2. Connect UART converter (the other side) to the computer
3. Connect your Xbox One controller to the computer

Power on your console with the power button on console, make sure that the controller is OFF.

Start Gimx-Launcher
Output has to be Gimx Adapter.
is the Port field recognicing your adapter?
Is the input device on correct option? change it to -Physical device.
Select config
Messages to -None
Mouse capture to -Auto

Press the guide button of the controller during 2 seconds and play.

Does it work?

If this does not work than i don't know what else to do except reinstall drivers for the UART and Arduino. When reinstalling drivers it is really important to reboot computer on each step. Most people have had problems with their adapters not beeing recognised in gimx because of this.

How did it go?

Hi, penalty kick online
I'm having trouble connecting the UART converter (the opposite side) to the PC. The launch was halted for unknown reasons. Can somebody help me?
