I already tried the elektron forums/user groups so I thought I'd try here as well.
MY MD SPS-1 is not rebooting after an OS upgrade to 1.33. It keeps freezing on "updating flash". it makes it all the way through the entire os upload and then craps out. UGH!
I tried elektrons C6 and then a regular MIDI dump all with the same results. I have also tried multiple interfaces. Nothing seems to work.

i must add that my UW is acting a little strange these days

It seems like it's not formatting the flash or somethng. man, i'mso bummed

What midi interface are you using? Before I got my TM-1, I had to try multiple times on occasion to get a OS update to work.

I tried my presonus firepod and then I tried a midisport 2x2
I also have an x-session and and edirol midi interface here, but i haven't tried them. Thing is my MM updated fine.

Have you tried contacting Elektron? They may have heard of similar users having this problem and could possibly steer you in the right direction...
Hope you get it figured out
