As Eric already said, most often is the MIDI to USB cable that "blocks"
big SYSEX dumps (as the fw upgrade is).
A simple check could be trying to run the QY100 Data Filer software, if
that works, you are ready to do a full backup, that never hurts.
Rear right switch on MIDI, i.e. all to the right.
Test that MIDI cable with other MIDI gear, chech that cable MIDI IN goes
in MIDI OUT onthe QY...
Anyway, I think that having the latest firmware is not so mandatory,
after all.
Good Luck and happy QY'ing!

Here¡¯s a few thoughts:
Cable might not be compatible... I have heard of this happening but
seems weird to have a Yamaha cable not be compatible... I use a cheapo
midi/usb cable and have had no issues, though Ihave done a firmware
update in forever to a QY.
Second idea is to make sure the switch on the side is set to
correctly... ?I would think it should be set to midi.
Of course, looking in the menu midi settings is important, i think
control shoukd be in/out...but I imagine that is covered in the guide.
A really common problem is putting the in/out in the wrong ports... some
cables are supppsed to have cable labeled IN connected in MIDI IN on the
QY, while some are supposed to have cable labeled IN to connect to MIDI
OUT on the device... (same issue about cable labeled OUT).... and some
cables will just have arrows...?
Anyway, it¡¯s a perspective thing¡ If the cable is labeled in relation to
connecting to the laptop or labeled in regards to connecting to the
device (QY).
I am fairly certain you cannot hurt anything by switching them around so
that is definitely worth trying (but hey, do so at your own risk, lol).
Mostly I would test to see if I can get a few notes to play on the QY
that are entered on the computer¡(or a midi file via a midi player). ?
Once I know that works I would think the firmware upgrade should then
work fine. ?
A bad firmware upgrade can brick your device so I would make sure the
connection is solid (by playing midi notes) before trying to send the
firmware.
Hope this helps.

Hello All,
just unable to update my YamahaQY100 to the 1.37 Latest ROM and have
tried everything I can find.......even the guide details in the
manual.....using MidiOx and a host of other ideas.
I load the Data into my Windows 10, after connecting the QY100 to my
laptop with a new UX16 Yamaha Midi -usb connector......follow all the
download details (a red LED shows on the Cable)......but the QY100
just shows 'Waiting........', whatever I do to send the Data into the
QY100. Iv'e also tried at least 3 midi player apps.......but no
shifting the data in the QY100. Can Anyone help me......please.....I
think I'm going a little mad. Thanks.
