SAME EXACT THING happened to me about a year ago while updating my Radias using my computer. About half way through the update... write error ... My Radias is bricked. Switch: ON --- lights go on, nothing happens. Can't factory reset, can't do anything, because it doesn't work anymore... not even a little bit.
I get in touch with my local Korg-Authorized repair shop. $135 to even look at it. "Ah okay, here is where the issue may lie. Looks like the chip (i think.. it was a while ago so it's kinda fuzzy, sorry if that doesn't help) is fried." They tell me I need to call Korg if I want to get the repair covered, as I am not under warranty anymore.
I call Korg. I tell them what happened. "This is your fault, Korg. Because your website tells us that 'we always recommend updating to the latest drivers'. I did, following the instructions to the T, and now my synthesizer is one heavy, expensive paperweight."
Good news. They tell me that they are sorry for my inconvenience, and that they will cover the entire repair. I just need to give them the info for the repair shop and they will work it out on the back-end.
WOW. That was easy. Too easy... makes me think that this is a common problem.
I get a call from the shop. "We spoke to Korg and they will cover the total cost of the repair. It should be done in a week or so"
Yay!
Week goes by... 2 weeks...
I call the repair shop.
"Oh it seems that the problem wasn't the motherboard. We changed it out with a new part... and there it still doesn't work. We also found signs that someone had spilled some sort of sugary soft-drink on the Radias and that has been sitting there, corroding everything."
OK. I am always super-careful with liquids around my equipment. This was no exception. Although the 18 year old nose-picker that I bought it from on Craigslist probably wasn't as careful. UGH...
Repair shop: "Because of the fact that we found all this extra damage upon opening the unit, we do not believe Korg will send us a whole new motherboard which, OH BY THE WAY, we now need because of all the damaged electronics."
OK, so you're telling me that I have been using the synth this entire time for months and months, and suddenly, without warning, it decides to brick itself when I try to update it. And not because of any software-compatibility error from Korg, but because of Pepsi. I suppose it is remotely possible for this to be a coincidence, but I know that the Radias was working PERFECTLY until i tried to update it. I don't care about any 'extra damage'. The attempted update is what ultimately caused the machine to fail.
Long story short. I now have my radias rack + radias keyboard (which is incompatible with anything else other than the radias... awesome.) sitting in my living room, collecting dust. Hopefully I can scrounge up the $600 to buy a new rack unit. I hope this post helps in any way... basically my sob story with Craigslist and Korg. |

Just bricked by Radias trying to upgrade to 2.0. Wish I would have found this thread BEFORE trying it. Same issue: installed the new drivers, followed all the OFFICIAL KORG instructions from the OFFICIAL KORG SUPPORT SITE, the operation stalled... nothing to do but restart the Radias, which is now stuck on the logo screen. I'm going to try Korg support tomorrow... hoping for, but not expecting, some help from them on this. |

|

Special thanks to member Citizen Klause for the info that led to the solution:
In my case, I had a failed OS update to 2.0 via USB. However, there is a way to put the Radias into UPGRADE OS VIA MIDI mode:
1. Attach your computers MIDI OUT to Radias' MIDI IN
2. Turn on the Radias in this manner: [MASTER FX ON] + [EDIT/YES] + [EXIT/NO] + [POWER ON]
3. Open the Radias OS updater app on your computer
4. Via the app's menu, select "Force Update"
5. On the app, press the "Update" button, then wait for completion. If successful, you should see a message on the app "...restart your Radias..."
Worked for me! I am SO THRILLED!!!
You should see a blank screen on the Radias. |

I would like to echo everyone who's asked... has this Update issue been solved? I could google it, but I figure asking here is pertinent.
I've never updated mine and don't plan on it unless this has been fixed. _________________ https://soundcloud.com/neuraltech |

It sounds like you need to use the MIDI ports and the procedure described in the post above yours... Korg's MIDI USB implementation on the Radias is problematic... It sucks that they did not do a complete job on one of their most powerful synths... |
