I am basically having the same problem.
My LP1 is running through a MOTU midi express 128 to my PC.
I put the LP into bootloader mode and open the bootloader software, select the midi port, and load the .hex file.
Everything seems to be sending just fine and the LPs display shows that it is receiving the packets.
The LP then reloads the bootloader and I can't get out of it.
I power off the synth and turn it back on. Sometimes I get a slow low pitched glide noise, but the display continues to read:
Little Phatty, Boot v1.1
Checksum Failure, Erasing Flash...
Checking for USB Module
Please Send Firmware

I can't get it out of this mode, and all combinations of time/ size don't help.
Andy Hughes at tech support was helping me with this issue, but after I sent a video showing the whole sequence of events, his communications gone dead.

Same problem over here! Can't load firmware 3.21 (690) on my LP1. I CAN load the older firmwares just fine, so I know I am doing this properly. I have been back and forth with the MOOG tech support and have gotten no where. Maybe its a MIDI problem as the Stage 2 can load it fine.

Hi, sorry for the delay. Here is a rebuilt Little Phatty Stage/Stage II file which should work:

I will make sure that Nick and Andy in the Moog Service Lab have this file as well.

Hey all!

I've had troubles resolving the "lbusb invalid send lpusb syx" error on my Little Phatty SE II described here:

viewtopic.php?f=7&t=12670

After trying the sysex file via a Macbook with no luck I had another shot today using an iMac running Sierra (I've read these aren't as reliable as PC's which may be an issue but I don't have access to one). The Phatty shows up as a device on both Sysex Librarian and the PhattyLoader when plugged in via USB.
I tried updating to the newest firmware update from 3.1 to 3.2 but the Phatty is not receiving the Firmware. The display is now stuck on "Please Send Firmware" and while the PhattyLoader is sending there is no indication on the Phatty display saying it is being received. I've tried restarting the process several times via USB and also via the MIDI connection using my Motu Traveller interface. I've also been following forum posts but the troubleshoots are not working either unfortunately.

I'm assuming it must be a problem with the MIDI on the synth. As far as replacement parts I've only been able to find this:

I am unsure if it will fix the problem for both MIDI and USB... or am I better off purchasing the debugger?

I've been in touch with Steve Jones (Sydney service technician listed on site who suggested sending to Melbourne which is quite costly) and Moog Support a few times without reply but wanted to see if anyone else here might have dealt with the same/have a fix I can do at home before I send off elsewhere?

Thank ya!
