Issue with Arduino updating software

Hey,

I have an interesting problem. I have Leif's WiFly modem and I am trying to do a firmware update. In order to do so, I have to use the USB key and install Arduino along with HexUploader. The problem is, as it is this: I first load Arduino, then the HexUploader. I set the hex uploader parameters accordingly and I still get a failed file when it pushed the hex code through the USB key. Any thoughts? I added a screen shot.

Looks like C code to me.

I see the codes comments, but I do not actually see codes.

Not having used the software package you are using, or the wifi modem, I am not sure what is actually being done here.

Where are you getting this code from? What documentation?

I realize this is a dead post, but I'm feeling responsive today so I thought I'd throw this out there.

I have had this problem before, and assuming that all your other settings are correct, in my case it turned out to be that when powering the Arduino off a laptop's USB port, the voltage was lower than 5v and not enough to properly write the internal flash memory. Powering the Arduino off an external power supply while writing to the flash memory solved the issue.
