Brook Converters Thread

What happens if you update the B firmware first? (that one doesn’t require a controller).

nothing :confused: its plugged in but still tells me to plug in the converter…

[quote=“Falkentyne, post:1518, topic:175547”]

so i did that button combo even when it still told me to plug in my controler and it worked, it got me to the update installation but now when i try to update it fails at the end before it can finish…

and now it doesn’t it work on my PS4 at all.

it no longer shows up on my computer as PS4 controller but HID Transfer??? can anyone help me?

HID transfer means that it’s still in flash mode.
That’s the problem I was getting after it flashed and didn’t know how to do the escape sequence.
However you said that you got an error message when you flashed? What was the error message?
Can you take a screenshot of the error message?
You can easily windows paint paste it (you can press print screen to copy the screen to the clipboard then paint it into paint) and upload it to imageshack as a file.
(sorry if you already know this).
Try removing the controller and flashing with the B firmware only. Make sure you have the right version downloaded! Some names can be confusing.
if that doesn’t work you need to RMA.

it just showed an image of a controller with an x over it, i will get pic in a bit. but it actually disconnects itself, it stops glowing. so i don’t know.
whats RMA?

If you installed USB driver on HID Transfer device, Please uninstall USB Driver.

  1. Run A patch file to follow combo.keys to enter and exit updated mode.
  2. Converter show PS4 wired game in device and printer when it updated successful
  3. Install USB driver on PS4 wired gamepad.
  4. Run B patch file to fix and support your Stick .

Please look at all steps on pdf file or refer this video file(PS3 -> PS4). All updating process are the same.
USB driver started at 00:00-02:00
A patch started at 02:00-04:00
B patch started at 04:00-06:00

so the progress bar will get to just about the end, and then the converter light will just turn off. then you get this picture.

Hi there,

I’m having trouble with the white PS3=>PS4 converter. I updated the firmware to the most recent B version according to the brook website (10/29/15), and I was able to get my PS360+ hitbox running fine. However, since I put the PS4 to rest and booted it back up, I haven’t been able to get the console to register the controller.

Even if I plug in the converter without the controller attached, it fails to be seen. It’s not likely an issue with the actual thumb drive because it plugs into my computer fine and I was able to play games on MAME no problem. I also updated the A version to the most recent version (2/5/16) to see if that fixed it but it doesn’t work still.

Any ideas/potential fixes?

@Ando_commando
You used incorrect file to update. Please download ( XBOX ONE to PS4 20160205 ) on brook website .

this is what is showing up

GUYS.
THIS IS THE WRONG FIRMWARE ON THE WEBSITE.

The Xbox 360 TE optional version of this file is incorrectly using the Xbox one (optional Tournament edition) link for it!
(XBOne link downloads 360 version)

I checked this myself. If you click the Xbox one Optional link, it downloads the 360 version instead of the XBOne optional version!

Please update your website to use the XBOX ONE version!!
This file: (OPTIONAL!)XBOX ONE to PS4 <–if you click this, it downloads XBOX 360 version instead (same file name as Xbox 360 version!).

It’s the wrong firmware.
The xbox one (tournament edition-optional) link is downloading the xbox 360 version. You can see from the file name.
the non tournament edition one seems to be correct.

@Falkentyne @Ando_commando
Don’t install Zeroplus USB driver on HID Transfer.

thank you so much Falkentyne and to GOGO.Zippy. i got it all updated and working again! im still having issues with forward and up inputs getting stuck, but im assuming that might be the stick??? anyway, im just glad that its usable again!

Zippy:
the file name for the Xbox One tournament edition to PS4 is still wrong. it gives the xbox 360 version.
please look.

The Xbox One Tournament edition is missing. I cant show my mouse pointer, so I highlight it and showed the filename at the bottom of the browser. Can you see it?

@Falkentyne
Thanks your point, we will look and update them on the website.

So ordered the 360 to ps4 converter for my round 1 te from focus attack.

Will I need to update it out of the box ?
