Video of troubleshooting D1 Pro firmware upgrade failure:

Method 1: Upgrade D1 Pro firmware with XCS (Recommended)

NOTE: DO NOT upgrade D1 Pro firmware with Laserbox basic or LightBurn.

Make sure your network is in good condition.
Make sure your computer stays on, and do not enter Sleep mode during the process.
Do not power off D1 Pro during the process.
Make sure the Upload Switch is "ON".

Step 2. Launch XCS, click on Connect Device, and select your device from the Device list.

Step 3. Click on the gear icon and then click on Check for updates.

Step 4. If a new firmware version is available, click on Update.

And the firmware update starts.

In progress.

Completes.

Method 2: Upgrade D1 Pro firmware in XCS Developer Mode

Note:

Your XCS version should be V1.0 or above so that Developer Mode is available.

Make sure your computer does not enter Sleep Mode during the process.

Do not turn off your D1 Pro during the process.

Make sure the Upload Switch on the motherboard is turned on.

Step 1. Power on and connect the D1 Pro to your computer via the original USB cable.

Step 4. Select D1 Pro.

Step 5. Click and select the Serial port.

5.2 click Device Manager>Ports and find the corresponding port for USB-SERIAL CH340.

Step 5.3 Select the corresponding Serial Port.

Note: If you do not find the port for USB-SERIAL CH340, it's probably because the driver is missing and you may download it here: http://www.wch-ic.com/downloads/CH341SER_EXE.html and complete installation.

Step 6. Set Baud to 230400.

Step 7. Click on Latest firmware> Update

New owner of a D1 Pro. I have a technical background. Method One failed on a PC and a MAC, no network issues, tried 3 different home networks, switch in the open position. Failed with an error of " Checking for updates failed. Please check network. Same error with updating XCS.

So on to Method 3, Downloaded the Upgrade tool for windows with the link provided above. Found the newest bin on the same google drive link, released in November, the latest is not posted. Failed on the 1st attempt, with the following error "PermissionError(13, 'Access is denied.', None, 5)" Reason was I had the XCS application open looking at the version number. Make sure to close the application 1st. Leave the com port set to default windows setting and it worked like a charm. May want to add this to the support article and update the google drive repository with latest .bin files. Also have a list of the latest versions of the application and bins posted somewhere. Phone support did not know the versions.

In regard to Method One I've also resolved it as well. For those behind a IPS or corporate firewall make sure China is not blocked from a Reputation or GEO policy. Both firmware and XCS updates worked after the policy was removed. Firmware version as of Jan 30th 2023 V40.31.005.01 B7

Greetings
Five days ago my xTOOL D1 Pro arrived, and before turning it on, I inserted the TF Card with the file xTool-D1ProV3.lbdev, and did all the necessary procedure.
I would therefore like to know if it is necessary to Upgrade this Firmware. Thank you

@Daniel Fernandes the xTool-D1ProV3.lbdev file is for Using LightBurn to Operate xTool D1 Pro

and it's advised to upgrade the latest D1 Pro firmware

Upgrading firmware with D! Pro is NOT user friendly. 1. IF it needs to be through USB only don't have WIFI capabilities or have the firmware be able to be upgraded through WIFI. 2. Having User friendly upgraded software for the extension would be nice. Per my very extensive research the only solution I have found for possible limit issues with the extensions is to upgrade firmware through cxs. I have spent hours going through loops of trying to get this to work. At this point I regret getting the extensions when it comes to the software and attempting to upgrade, and I am actually pretty computer savvy and this has be a very frustrating waist of time, and I still don't have it done.

About what I wrote above, about the xTool-D1ProV3.lbdev file, actually, I got confused.
But, I am in doubt about the TF Card, because it is empty. Is it necessary to load anything on the card? For now, I only use USB, I don't use Wireless. Thanks

If you are having trouble updating your firmware on the D1pro as I was. Try connecting the xtool machine to wifi, it will then tell you to disconnect the usb and try running it wirelessly which I did and then it was able to update the firmware really quick. I'm not sure why the usb cord didn't work but I was desperate to try anything.
