I had this same exact issue and I uninstalled and reinstalled VCP driver package then followed the upgrade and erase steps and it all came back!

Updated 4 CC3D Atoms from eBay (boot loader CC3D) today. Each had exactly the same problem.
"Getting timed out and a message that tells me to use the uploader plugin"
Further investigation I found, that the Wizard refusing to erase settings.

The Solution : Go to firmware and do the recovery. But only do the "erase". (wait long enough the erase process to complete)Then upload firmware manually. After all is done go back to wizard and unselect "erase settings" before starting.


The boot loader is exactly same in Openpilot and libreoffice and there is no need to reinstall that.

Maybe a windows issue, try another PC if you can.

Hi,

When you get this error message: "Time out while booting. Press OK to finish, you will have to manually upgrade the board". This trick worked for me:

1) Unplug your board.

2) Click on Upgrade & Erase.

3) Plug back your board.

4) It will update but block while the "Remove settings from the board" process is starting ...

5) You unplug again and plug it back.

The Upgrade will be successful, just unplug and plug your USB cable back before it shows the red error message about the timing-out.
