Items Needed:

Caution:

• Never apply this update data to any product other than the V-02HD. This update data may destroy the data or system program of other products.
  
  
• Never power-off your V-02HD while the update is in progress! If a power failure or similar accident occurs during the update process, the V-02HD won’t be able to start up in normal operating mode. This will require servicing, so you will need to contact Roland service center near you if this occurs.

Procedure:

Step 1

Download the System Program Firmware update file from the V-02HD Downloads Page.

Scroll to the bottom of the page, click the checkbox, and click on the orange button to download.

Note: The latest version is "v02hd_sys_v120.zip", this image is for reference

Step 2

Download and install the V-02HD Utility Software on your computer for Windows 10 or MacOS.

Scroll to the bottom of the page, click the checkbox, and click on the orange button to download.

Note: The latest version is "v02hd_utility_w1200" for Windows and "v02hd_utility_m1200" for Mac, this image is for reference

You will use this software to upload the .BIN file to the V-02HD.

Step 3

Power down the V-02HD if you have not already.

Using a USB 2.0 cable, connect the V-02HD to your computer.

Step 4

On the V-02HD panel, hold down the [ VFX ] button and turn on the power.

• Note: The [ VFX ] button will light up red after you turn it on, after which you can let go.
  
  
• Note: Never turn off power to the V-02HD while the indicators for the [ 1 ] and [ 2 ] buttons are flashing in red. Doing so creates risk of corrupting the system program or damaging the V-02HD.
  

Step 5

Start the installed V-02HD Utility software.

Step 6

Click the [ UPDATE ] button in the V-02HD Utility software window.

A new window will pop up.

Step 7

Click the [ BIN FILE ] button in the top left corner of the window, and select the V-02HD_ver120.bin file that you downloaded and extracted from the .zip file in the first step.

• You can also drag the extracted V-02HD_ver120.bin file into this Utility update window instead of browsing for it.
  
  
• Note: While the update is in progress, the LED indicators for the [ 1 ] and [ 2 ] buttons change from yellow to flashing red.
  
  
• Note: If an error message is displayed while the update is in progress, click [ CANCEL ] to quit the update, quit the V-02HD Utility, and start the update process again.

The [ UPDATE ] button in the middle left side of the window will change from GRAY to BLUE.

Step 8

Click on the [ UPDATE ] button to begin the update.

When completed, the message "Update Completed" appears in the lower portion of the V-02HD Utility dialog box, and the indicators for the [ 1 ] and [ 2 ] buttons will both turn green.

Step 9

Click [ OK ] in V-02HD Utility window to quit V-02HD Utility.

Step 10

Turn off the V-02HD, and then turn it back on again.
