XGT Ultimate Update Notes

XGT Ultimate Update Notes

XGT Ultimate has three firmware components: steering wheel firmware. If you have purchased the wireless kit, there are two additional firmware components, wireless kit wheel-side firmware and wireless kit dongle firmware.

1. When updating the steering wheel firmware and the wireless kit wheel-side firmware, connect the XGT Ultimate via GX12 USB cable and switch the wheel to USB mode. At this time, it is recommended not to connect the wireless kit dongle to the PC.

2. When updating the wireless kit dongle firmware, it is recommended to disconnect the steering wheel’s cable and connection, only plug the wireless kit dongle into the PC.

3. Switch SimHub to the SimBridge - XGT Ultimate page, select the firmware, and click the update button. Wait for the progress bar to complete.

XGT Ultimate Update Troubleshooting

 
We have found that on some PC motherboards, the XGT Ultimate may quickly switch to bootload mode during updates, which can cause the wheel to no longer be recognized by USB. If you encounter this situation, you can try the following four solutions.

1. Try changing to a different USB port or use a different PC to perform the firmware update.

2. Try using USBDeview to check the USB device information stored on the PC.

2.1. Download the software from the link and open USBDeview.exe.
 
2.2. Find the item shown in the following image, which indicates the XGT Ultimate device, then right click and select "Uninstall Selected Devices."


2.3. Reconnect the wheel’s USB to the PC and use SimBridge to write the firmware onto the wheel.
 

3. If you find that the XGT Ultimate device appears in the Control Panel but cannot be recognized and connected by SimBridge.

3.1. Open the PC Control Panel. You can use this link(https://www.elevenforum.com/t/open-devices-and-printers-in-windows-11.11272/) to learn how to open this interface, If everything is working correctly, you should be able to see the XGT Ultimate device here.
3.2. Right-click on the XGT Ultimate icon and select 'remove device.'
 
3.3 Reconnect XGT Ultimate wheel. Your PC will automatically reinstall the USB drivers for XGT Ultimate.
 
3.4 Restart SimHub in administrator mode. Everything should return to normal.
 

4. If the steering wheel still cannot update, the only option is to use external tools to flash the firmware onto the steering wheel.

4.1. Please download the compressed file(https://download.leoxz.com/AiBurn-1.0.8_Setup_2023-08-08.zip) and install AiBurn-1.0.8_Setup_2023-08-08.exe
 
4.2. Hold down button 14(Please note that you need to keep holding it down), then connect USB power. After that, an Artinchip Device will appear in the control panel.
 


 
4.3. Open the software you installed in the first step. You can find AiBurn in the Start menu and open it from there.
 
4.4. Follow the steps in the image below to select the fw.img file from https://download.leoxz.com/fw_v12.img, then click the button labeled with arrow number 3 in the picture. This will restore the steering wheel to the factory firmware, which is also the latest v12 firmware.
