If you are currently running ZerOS 7.8.2.39 or earlier, ZerOS can be updated by creating a bootable USB drive using
the ZerOS USB Creator. This can also be used to recover consoles that have experienced an error during thesoftware
update process.
Firstly, click here to download the latest version of ZerOS.
Once downloaded, extract/unzip the software, and then run the ZerOS software application (.exe) (NOT Phantom
ZerOS) on a Windows PC (preferably with admin rights) to create a bootable USB Memory Stick. You will be
presented with the screen below:
To perform the update, you will need a USB Memory Stick, which will
be erased and formatted as part of the process. Make sure you first
backup any data on the USB Memory Stick that you wish to keep.
Insert a USB Memory Stick into your Windows PC and then click ">
Next".
Then follow the on screen instructions of the ZerOS USB Creator. After a few minutes, the install creator will instruct
you to remove the USB Memory Stick, which now contains the update for the desk.
Remove the USB Memory Stick from your PC and insert it in one of the console's rear USB ports
Power on the desk and the desk will automatically boot into the software update application. It is recommended
that you have a monitor, keyboard and mouse connected to the desk to perform this update, but not required on
FLX.
Press the [Install ZerOS] button on the monitor and the software will be installed
Once the update is complete, you will be taken back to the "Install" screen
Switch the console off, and remove the USB Memory Stick
Reboot the console, and you will boot into the newly installed software
