RoboRIO Firmware Upload Losing Connection

Early in build season, my team updated the firmware for two old roboRIO's to the latest version. Now, in attempt to solve a software problem (see thread: https://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/s...d.php?t=154205), we're trying to reload the firmware onto the roboRIO's. However, at about a third of the way through the updating process, the roboRIO consistently loses connection with the computer. I suspect the roboRIO is required to reboot in the process, but eventually the computer loses connectivity for so long it aborts the upload.

We disconnected the roboRIO from the radio and connected with a USB cable, as instructed on http://wpilib.screenstepslive.com/s/...borio-firmware.

Has anybody else had these issues? Could it be the cable's problem?
