Putting the MTR-1 in boot mode

This will cover how to put the MTR-1 into boot mode.

This is needed to force the device into boot mode to reflash the firmware.

Method 1: Boot button only

You'll hold the boot button while you plug in the USB-C cable.

1. Position the MTR-1 as shown in the image below and locate the small opening to press the boot button (the right button).

2. Push and hold the boot button. While still holding the button down, plug in a USB-C cable into the USB-C port of your MTR-1 then let go of the button.

3. Continue with uploading the firmware document.

Method 2: Boot and reset buttons

You'll plug the device into your computer, then hold the boot button down while you press and release the reset button.

1. Unplug the device and locate the boot button (the right opening, shown in the image above) and the reset button (the left opening, shown in the image below).

2. Plug it into your computer.

3. Put your MTR-1 in boot mode. Use both buttons, in this order:

  • Press and hold the boot button (the right button). Keep holding it.
  • While you're still holding boot, press and release the reset button (the left button).
  • Let go of boot.

Keep holding boot the whole time

Pressing reset by itself only restarts the MTR-1. It goes into boot mode only when boot is held down while you press and release reset.
