Location of the FEL button on the MOD Duo

This page describes how to do a "factory reset" of the MOD Duo via LiveSuit.
Please note that LiveSuit is not an application developed by the MOD Team and as such we cannot fix any issues it might have.

Installing MOD Duo via LiveSuit

To begin:

  1. Click and hold down the FEL button on the back of the MOD Duo (in tiny hole), while you power it on.
  2. Hold it for 2 seconds, then release
  3. Connect the MOD Duo to your computer via USB cable
  4. Install the FEL mode Windows driver if not done yet (see [Installing FEL mode USB driver] section below)
  5. Run LiveSuit and deploy the MOD Duo LiveSuit image (see [Deploying LiveSuit image] below)
  6. Wait for the Duo's restore mode to activate
  7. Download this file: http://download.moddevices.com/releases/modduo/reset/modduo-v1.3.2.394-reset-image.raw
  8. Copy it to the mass storage device (as usual for MOD updates)
  9. Wait until the installation finishes (he Duo will automatically reboot)

Installing FEL mode USB driver

1. Press the windows key and 'R' at the same time to get the 'Run' dialog. Type "devmgmt.msc" and press enter. (This will open the Device Manager)

5. Click the 'Browse' button and select the folder where you extracted the contents of the LiveSuit1.0.7.zip file, then click 'Next'.

6. Wait for Windows to finish installing the driver.
Windows might complain that it can't verify the publisher of this driver. You'll have to click to install anyway.
(This is because, as previously stated, this software was not done by the MOD Team)

7. That's it! The driver is installed. :)

8. If everything is working correctly, the Duo will appear as 'USB Device(VID_1f3a_PID_efe8)' under 'Universal Serial Bus controllers'
