if i try and use the 8-07 or the new one 8-21 my board crashes luckily the computer can still read it and i wasnt able to soft or hard reboot but i was able to upload the 7-16 and that is the only one that is working on my device i am on parallels desktop running windows 8 i dont know if this can factor in i do plan on buying a windows laptop because a lot of the programs i been needing lately need windows software

I would think it is just a problem with the parallels USB implementation and you just got lucky with that one, have a look at the Mac support thread and see if there is a better host or anything else that may help.

this is my second chip i have the v200 from hana and i know alot of people are experiencing problems from them but the first one worked fine in escribe till the chip crashed on its own with out being plugged in and now this one is having issues while plugged in maybe i should just wait till i have a real windows laptop and not a VM

I and others have found an intermittent pulse in using a guest OS (parallels, Virtualbox, VMware).  So far it looks like 8 of 10 flashes will work, put it will occasionally crash mid firmware flash.  In my case, I needed a windows system to resurrect it.

update-- i was able to get my hands on a windows computer and i was able to update the chip no issue everything went smooth as butter and i was even able to upload my own settings no issue no more VM for me gotta get my hands on the real thing

I am still using Virtualbox for settings adjustment, but will only flash with a PC now.  I hope there is a mac version one day....
