Wakespeed refusing to update firmware

[Na Mara]

I just unboxed my new WS500 regulator and tried to both configure it for my system and update the firmware to the latest (v.2.5.0 beta) version. The former went well and the regulator will now work with my alternator, BMS and LFP batteries.

For the nerds out there the configuration file follows furthest below.

But when I tried to update the firmware I just got a bunch of error messages that it could not find the device. That is weird considering the successful configuration of the regulator using the same data cable and computer. Anyone got any idea what could be going on here?
