can i upgrade a mkII to 1.4? i am considering buying a mkII but would rather buy a normal vci-100 if i can do this with it.
also in the video is says not to use usb to serial, it says use serial to serial instead. where do i plut the serial port into my computer and where do i plug it into the vci? im confused.

Just a quick note to anyone who found a serial cable lying around like me and is having issues.
Mine had the following code on the end, 940-0024C. And I couldn't get into boot mode. This cable is neither a normal serial cable nor a null modem cable, it is a very specific cable for connecting a PC to an APC UPS.
So if you see this code on your cable, don't use it!!

No, you can't do a MKII.
You need a computer with a serial port already. I used a USB to serial cable when I did mine and it worked fine.
Ok, I am lost...
I get to the point of running a Flash Toolkit, connecting my USB-to-Serial cable into my computer, but when I have to choose a post in Flash Toolkit it doesn't show the USB one. It only has COM1 and a few others that, well, are not relevant (I don't think).
So when I try to use COM1 to flash it, no wonder I get a message like this below:

Does this Flash toolkit even support flashing through USB at all?
I bought my VCI 100 origonaly off DJTT, it came with firmware 1.3 already on it. Do i need to buy the firware upgrade kit? or is it the case that i just need to flash it to get 1.4
You need to flash it w/a kit. that's the only way to upgrade your firmware.
I wrote about my trials and errors and how I managed to do it a while ago, here's a link.
