Ensure not to have your Twister connected via USB HUB. Also, what OS do you run on your Mac?

thank you for your reply!

i'm on Mac OS 10.8.5
i have to you a hub (d-link powered usb hub) because i also use a monome and an op-1. this also happens if the twister is directly connected to usb port on mac...

It's important for Midifighters to be connected directly to the computer while you're trying to perform the firmware update. If you have had used USB hubs by accident, than the firmware might break sometimes.

Did you try to Factory Reset the unit?
