Troubleshooting

• Device not detected: reinstall driver, try another USB port (use USB 2.0 if USB 3.0 has issues), or try a different PC.
• Upgrade fails midway: do not reuse the device; contact vendor support — some vendors provide recovery tools or JTAG/ISP service.
• Firmware mismatch: do not force; verify firmware matches vendor model/revision.

Method A: Using the Official Vendor Tool (Easiest & Safest)

1. Download the .zip or .exe from the manufacturer.
2. Extract the archive to a folder on your desktop (e.g., C:\Users\YourName\Desktop\PS3111_Update). Do not run from inside the ZIP file.
3. Run as Administrator: Right-click the .exe file (e.g., FirmwareUpdater_v1.2.exe) and select Run as administrator.
4. Read the Warning: The tool will list all compatible Phison drives. Confirm your drive appears.
5. Start the Flash: Click "Update" or "Start". The process takes 30–60 seconds. Do not interrupt power or close the window.
6. Automatic Reboot: Some tools reboot your PC automatically. Others will show "Success." You must manually shut down, wait 10 seconds, and power back on (a warm reboot is insufficient).

Step 4: Performing the Firmware Upgrade

Once the tool is open:

1. Select the Drive: The tool should list all detected SATA drives. Select the drive using the PS3111SB controller.
   • Tip: Disconnect other SATA drives if possible to prevent accidentally flashing the wrong drive.
2. Check Current Version: The tool will display the "Current Firmware" and potentially the "New Firmware" version.
3. Select Firmware File: If the tool doesn't automatically detect the update file, you may need to click "Browse" or "Open" and select the firmware file you downloaded earlier.
4. Start Update: Click the Update, Download, or Start button.
5. Wait Patiently:
   • You will see a progress bar.
   • DO NOT turn off the computer or touch the keyboard/mouse during this process.
   • The drive may disappear and reappear in Windows Explorer during the process.
6. Completion: Once finished, the tool will usually prompt you to restart your computer.

3.2 On Bootable USB (recommended method)

1. Create a bootable FreeDOS or Windows PE USB drive using Rufus.
2. Copy the tool, firmware .bin, and .ini files to the USB drive.
3. Boot from USB and execute the tool from the command line.
