EPSON XP-430 FAILED

[CKL 0]

I purchased an activation key before starting the process. I followed the set up as directed but when I got to the Application Activation I got the Read Failed-1. I then downloaded the Application 99 for my printer model followed the directions but then it won't give me the Serial & ID code when I try to activate online. My printer now does not recognize my cartridges and it shuts off every time I click the activate online button.

What do I do?

Please try this new file for you.

1) Upload firmware which I sent

2) Switch on in normal mode(!!!!) just turn on button . - dont put printer in Program Update mode. (no need to press few buttons while turn on the printer)

The uploading process will stuck at 70-80% - it is ok!

Open task manager and stop updater process.

Printer will blink for about 5-15 minutes - then will power OFF.

Now power on the printer - chipless firmware is installed in your printer!

I have followed the instructions and it still does not work. It says my cartridges cannot be recognised. These are new Epson 288 ink cartridges I just put into the printer. I removed then replaced the cartridges and it still shows the warning message. I've done this many times already and the ink levels are depleting each time and I have yet to actually print anything with these new ink cartridges.

Hi!

After installing the firmware you should activate it with the key. Did you manage to do this successfully?

I tried to activate the firmware but it still shows the Read Failed 1 error message. It won't allow me to activate online and after a few seconds the printer shuts down. Again I've tried this many times already.

Hi!
Your original firmware cannot be downgraded to earlier versions, and our chipless firmware is an earlier version.  Basic concepts of the solution: - Standard InkChip firmware. Chipless firmware, which must be loaded into the printer using Firmware Mode. - 99 InkChip firmware. Chipless firmware, which must be loaded into Normal Mode. - Firmware Mode - special mode for updating printer firmware, which is activated when a certain buttons combination is pressed. - Normal Mode - normal mode of operation of the printer, simple switching on the printer with the power button.
Algorithm for solving the problem: 
1. Check and memorize the firmware version of the printer. The firmware version displayed is the original non-update version. 
2. Flash printer 99 with InkChip firmware in Firmware Mode. 
3. When trying to activate the firmware with the Activation program and the activation code, the program will generate the Reading failed 1. 
4. Start flashing the printer 99 again with InkChip firmware in Firmware Mode. When the firmware status in Firmware Mode reaches 100%, and the printer display finishes counting the percentage of the firmware status, you need to pull out the power cable of the printer. 
5. Connect the power cable and turn on the printer. Recovery Mode will appear on the display. 
6. Flash the printer with Inkchip firmware in Recovery Mode.
7. Check the firmware version of the printer. The firmware version displayed must be different from the non-renewable firmware version. This version is the chipless firmware version of InkChip. 
8. Activate chipless firmware with the Activation program.

This is just an example of a process, it doesn't matter what model of printer you have. Please watch the video on our official YouTube channel:

And after that just ran again the inkchip firmware upload in normal mode.
