How to Update the Firmware on Your Yamaha THR-II

[@TheCelebrationist22]

Just received mine in the mail today. Thanks for your videos! They really help a lot

[@DrewCreal]

Congrats Ryan, enjoy your new amp!

[@TacticalDingus]

where I go for all my THR learning xD, thanks brotha!

[@Killthemall4]

Yes,I update the amp and now the AIRSTEP yet works thank you

[@DrewCreal]

Glad that worked for you!

[@frederickthompson8686]

Extremely helpful! Thanks.

[@DrewCreal]

Glad it was helpful!

Off topic: Whats the difference between the G10T or G10TII in terms of Using a THR30II without Guitar cables? Appreciate any input.

[@musicalengineer]

I like the sound and generally love Yamaha products, but I find the App Very Buggy! And I've used it with MacOs, Windows, and iOS, with USB and Bluetooth. The Firmware Update feature almost always fails and the App hangs. Other than that, it's a good sounding portable "amp"

[@luisalbertomoreiragodoy2779]

I did this and now my thr30II that just came today doesnt work anymore. in the tunner leds a letter "u" appears and thr remote says "no device". reseting with buttons doesn't work. the firmware update ended succesfully and turned off the thr after. when i turned back on it was like this.

[@Ramonstreak]

Bro any solution for your THR I had same problem?

[@elvarwinston]

Ohh im having the same problem with it being stuck on U ! Did you guys find a solution?

[@njojje]

thanks for making these videos

[@DrewCreal]

You are welcome, thanks for watching!

[@watchfan6180]

Very helpful and it worked eventually

[@lassefredriksen3532]

PS! I ve got failure warning every times. It’s not enough to use USB cable. Even THR IS FULLY CHARGED YOU HAVE TO USE power cable when updating 👍

[@Afterasimplelife]

thanks!

[@graycolors2879]

How do you find new "Open" cabinet tuning vs old "Focused"? I tried THRII30 twice and returned it, because I didn't like that focuses, dull sound....

[@DrewCreal]

I guess the THR is not for everyone. I happen to really like the amp though.

[@greg6162]

I think you select it in the mobile app… should be an option to use open and I’ve heard it sounds better

[@permculture]

I think I got it but at minute :57 all of a sudden you got a screen showing the Yamaha installation. Did I miss where you installed the downloaded app? Does it automatically install to a specific location on a drive?

[@DrewCreal]

Usually you want to download the app to your "C" drive or operating drive, not another storage location. Hope that helps.

[@latheofheaven1017]

Thanks for the video Drew, but I'm afraid I fell at the first hurdle. When I open up the Tools window, it doesn't show the update button. What now? I was going to try the firmware update to see if I could kickstart the Bluetooth connection which stopped working about a month after the 12-month guarantee expired. Pressing the Bluetooth button no longer does anything. Nice little amp, but perhaps not the most reliable. Whereas your version says it's 1.31.0k, my version is 1.40.1a)

[@tito_pane]

hi there fellas! can anyone confirm that the leatest version is the 1.44.0a ?

[@w1ndedits606]

My thr remote app usb symbol keeps blinking

[@DrewCreal]

Sorry to hear this, I’m not exactly sure what issue you may be having. Try turning the THR off and then on again, while it’s plugged into the computer via USB, I’ve had to do this a few times and then the computer will recognize the amp. Then I would make sure you’re running the latest firmware and update.

[@jean-philippecote6403]

Hi, Sorry to disturb you I have problem. With my thr30. When i turn it on ... there is always a buzzing sound... Have you ever heard of this problem. because I don't know what to do. I have it for just 1 year and it work well since 2 week.

[@coolgmr1517]

Hi Drew. Just asking about my thr10ii, why it shows U once I turn on the power. Even the app couldn’t be used. Thanks.

[@DrewCreal]

The only time I've seen the U is when it's been updated. I would try updating the firmware on your amp and see if that fixes it.

[@coolgmr1517]

@@DrewCreal it shows U since I was updating the amp last night. It currently not working at moment. Might my amp need to restore.

[@DrewCreal]

@@coolgmr1517 yes try a factory reset. Make sure the computer that you're updating with has the newest version of the THR remote app.

[@coolgmr1517]

@@DrewCreal yes, the app is newest version. Even I tried holding 1,3,5 while turn on power. Still shows U

[@DrewCreal]

@@coolgmr1517 I'm really sorry you're having this issue. I haven't had this issue with my amp, so I can't speak to the specific problem. Check some forums and see if anyone else has the same issue. You may need to return the amp to the store you bought it from or see if there's a manufacturer warranty from Yamaha and return it.

[@Toquelibre]

Hi there, Unfortunately I keep getting the Failure message every time I try to reboot. Am I not holding the power button down long enough? It shouldn't be this complicated.

[@PlouplePoupi]

Thanks a lot🇫🇷👍🏼🍒

[@DrewCreal]

You are welcome!

[@jimhansen5395]

Can your Line6 G10 transmitted firmware be updated using the Yamaha USB connection to your computer?

[@DrewCreal]

Yes, when you have your THR plugged into your computer via USB, the Line 6 G10 will automatically update when you run a firmware update.

[@SteveStockmalMusic]

Absolutely frustrating folks. 😔 I run ProTools, I record bands all the time, and for some reason I’m just completely lost as to how to get this amp to record via USB. I’ll just keep going direct unless anyone has any helpful suggestions.

[@silveroliver4346]

Connect the THR-ii to USB into your computer and ProTools should instantly recognize the THR-ii as an audio interface. If not, select it manually.

[@SteveStockmalMusic]

@@silveroliver4346 Tried it, didn’t work, I don’t know where to find the option to select it manually. Any ideas? Thank you

[@DrewCreal]

Hey Steve, sorry to hear that you're having issues. Did you get it resolved? Feel free to give us an update if you can.

[@nahuelp.l.3526]

I just solved the second problem. It was just installing the lastest version of the thr app, then it could detect the update needed.

[@SteveStockmalMusic]

@@nahuelp.l.3526 woohoo Thanks !!!!!

[@DeGroove]

Just updatet my THR-II 30 for the first time and also had troubles first time. Second try...worked but presets didn't restore... all presets gone and unfortunately I just don't seem to get the same sounds out of it anymore, it just sounds a lot thinner...Anyone knows if I can find the back-up presets on my computer or maybe the factory presets online or experienced something like this? Kinda frustrating...sounded really good before the update...

[@DrewCreal]

Try doing a factory reset on your THR, and maybe running the firmware update again. Sorry you're having issues man!

[@DeGroove]

@@DrewCreal Thanks for the response, no worries, these things happen. In the meantime I did discover the factory presets through the app and was able to create some nice new sounds but I still have a feeling that it’s not entirely sounding as before the update. Especially the clean amp setting seems to be thinner. Might try that factory reset. This is probably also done through the app somehow? Thanks again. Take care.

[@greg6162]

@@DeGroove there’s a setting you can change that I’ve heard makes the speaker better. Something in that app you set it to open? Not sure I just got mine delivered today and I’ll mess with it when I get home from work. I don’t have a working PC unfortunately but I’ve heard the newer ones may already be updated? Again not sure just what I’ve read online

[@quit293]

I didn't turn on amp for 2 weeks no it sounds like crap. The Bluetooth speaker sound is horrible any idea how to fix it?

[@DrewCreal]

I think you can control the treble and bass for the bluetooth playback portion of the amp. I didn't think it sounded that bad.

[@quit293]

@@DrewCreal thanks I will try it.

[@SteveStockmalMusic]

hi, at 1:03 you're looking at the amp simulation on your computer screen. Where did you find that please? Signed, "lost but hopeful"

[@cmeimgee]

Also wondering about this!

Here you go: Windows: usa.yamaha.com/support/updates/thr_remote_win.html Mac: usa.yamaha.com/support/updates/thr_remote_mac.html

[@SteveStockmalMusic]

Thanks 🙏

[@michaelforde4373]

Just won't sync with brand new computer , sync just spins , good amp lousy software

[@DrewCreal]

I've had similar issues before, pretty frustrating that it does that. I hope they update it and fix the bugs!

[@montigol]

the app is absolutely brutal. completely useless. fun amp tho.

[@DrewCreal]

What kind of problem are you having with app?

[@montigol]

@@DrewCreal If it doesn't crash immediately, it only recognises the amp via Bluetooth or USB about 50% of the time, and it never ever makes it past the "back up your presets" stage. Didn't work? Try again. And on and on and on.

[@montesa9136]

Anyone know why my "update section" is greyed out so I can't select updates?

[@greg6162]

With today’s technology there’s no reason why you shouldn’t be able to do this with an app? I don’t even have a working PC anymore unfortunately… haven’t needed one until now
