Did you ever get this problem fixed, I have the exact same problem. Does not recognize error while holding down medium punch for the PC, and doesnt work on the PS3 either. Was working fine a couple days ago and not nothing works at all, I’ve rescrewed the wires back in and everything.
Follow the directions in the post above you and update the firmware to 3.2, that might fix your issue.
awesome, I look forward to buying one
I followed these directions, and this is what happens:
Leaving bootloader after finishing.
Flash file: "dual_strike_firmware_atmega168_V3.2.0.hex"
Error opening HIDBoot device: The specified device was not found
Press any key to continue . . .
I think one of the boards burned out, probably the Dual Strike, I am using TE-S stick, when I plug in the usb cable after holding the punch button, the xbox button flashes momentarily, then goes dark.
Yes. Phreak sent me a replacement MCU after nothing else worked. I popped out the existing MCU and popped in the new one. Worked smooth from the get go – now my DS board is remounted inside my TE and I’m up and running on FW 3.2.
It definitely sounds like you’re having issues with something on the board.
Do you have a multimeter – you could check the voltages from GND to VCC|D-|D+. If those look normal, you can check to each pin on the MCU – Phreak was able to decipher some bad voltage readings in mine, which lead to the idea of trying a new MCU in my board.

meus, when updating firmware, a cmd window should pop up. if a the DS can’t be found in the proper mode (from holding start), you’d see something like:
Leaving bootloader after finishing.
Flash file: "dual_strike_firmware_atmega168_V3.2.0.hex"
Error opening HIDBoot device: The specified device was not found
Press any key to continue . . .
If the device is connected, you’ll see it flash a bunch of hex codes and it will eventually complete.
Just because nothing shows up in the system tray doesn’t necessarily mean it’s not detected…
It appears I have the same issue as well (Not Recognized on a PC, Leaving bootloader after finishing.
Flash file: "dual_strike_firmware_atmega168_V3.2.0.hex"
Error opening HIDBoot device: The specified device was not found
Press any key to continue . . "
Ok, so that’s probably confirmation that the DS board is not connecting to the PC at all.
So it’s one of the following, I’d wager, and Phreak/|v|ePhisto/Bencao can correct me if I’m off base here:
(1) Continuity check the board. Continuity between all screw terminals should be closed (no beeping) except if you test GND1 to GND2 – then it should be open (beep).
(2) Faulty USB cable. If you have a spare usb cable, attempt to connect it securely and see if the board is recognized by Windows. You can and probably should do this outside of the stick.
(3) Toasted MCU chip. If the above doesn’t work, you can take readings from GND to VCC/D+/D- to check that the cable and board are transmitting power correctly. From here you can measure the GND to each pin on the MCU chip to see if there are any strange readings.
I think that about covers it. Phreak/|v|ePhisto/Bencao, feel free to jump in as you like… I’m by no means an expert here, I can merely relay my own experiences with similar issues during install.
@corrosove, no that sounds about right, I really need to come up with a linked FAQ
Tonedef, you’ve done a few of those already with the old chip, but try a new USB cable with the DS outside of the stick. If it’s not working, unplug it and switch the chip to the second replacement I sent you and try again with the new USB cable and the DS outside of the stick. Just be sure you have Pin 1 correct.
To anyone who is newly installing this mod or troubleshooting current issues, make sure you ground yourself (touch the case of your computer/lamp/screw of your lightswitch/doorknob/etc…) before even opening your case back up. It’s very dry out due to the season change and ESD is definitely something that can kill your board.
So i did what u said and says on my pc :Error opening HIDBoot device: The specified device was not found:
Checked DS by it self nothing showing on pc/ checked all terminals all good but nothing still/ tried new usb cable nothing still.
wouldnt let me updated and still shows TE S on my pc.
Just PM me whenever you can when you get your next batch.
This seems so freakin’ odd to me.
I can’t fathom why the DS board would allow passthru but not work on it’s own… o_O
everything went smooth sailing for me. Thank you Phreak for the TEasy and Bencao for Dual strike.
edit: forgot to add lvlphisto (fw) and purplearms (awesome tutorial). =)
Grounded myself but that has changed.
Tried new USB wire with first new chip and second new chip with the DS unplugged from the TE
Tried old USB wire with second new chip.
The little triangle on the new chip was pointing in the upper left.
thanks
I’m confused, is it up and running now or are you still having the same results?
I am sorry, i meant to say “Grounded myself but NOTHING has changed.” It is NOT working despite the things i listed above. Sorry.
I got the DS you sent back. First thing I did was take it out of the anti-static and wire it to a chopped USB cable, works great.
I’m not sure why you were having issues, but with this new board I highly suggest you chop off any of the tinning/etc on the stock cable you did and start fresh.
I would also recommend running that new registry cleaner for the DS that Mephisto made before plugging the new DS into your PC, perhaps the board is just fine but the USB configuration on your PC is corrupted or something. Also, make sure you hold HK down on your first plug in too, it helps get immediate results.
any idea when you’ll have more dualstrikes for sale on your website?
thanks for the quick turnaround! got the new board today and did what you told me and everything works! I dont know what it is, but i used the same USB cable that I pulled from an old bin which i also used on the first DS and it works. Plugged it in and it updated the firmware. Works on ps3 and 360 with autodetect. I improvised a rubberband to keep the tension on the Teasy and 360 pcb as on of the four clips just snapped. thanks for your continued patience and support clayton
ok so i still havent got my DS working. So any new tips to have this working. I posted my problems but still nothing.
