Ok, so I have it working. For anyone that's been having the same issues I have, I did the below and it worked.

On whatever version of the software you're using at the moment. Unplug the NES, select flash original kernel, follow the steps and hopefully you will have no pipe errors. Then delete your current installation. This should get you back to a clean NES. Then...
  • Turn off Windows Defender (might not be needed but previously I'd transferred from a mac via USB stick)
  • Download the latest version of the software
  • Run the software again while the NES is unplugged
  • Select the dump kernel option and follow the steps
  • Unplug the NES
  • Select flash custom kernel option
  • Unplug the NES
  • Add ROM's to the program
  • Select upload selected games and follow steps
Hopefully like me you'll now have the LED turn off correctly once completed and your NES won't restart, hope that is of use to some people.


Thanks!

I had issue with NES mini rebooting on its own after uploading games and them not showing up on the menu. Tried El-Massman's method, I had to do it twice, but then it worked as expected after that.

Really!!! Mine will not work at all. I am starting to go insane here.

The definition of insanity is doing the SAME thing over and over and expecting different results.

Still dont trust this windows keeps detecting malware

Wolf123rt, I believe Cluster has the talent to obscure a virus if he decided to include one. I mean even I have a YouTube video touching on how to do that! In turn, he took the time to code us up a great working tool; Windows Defender is garbage; Stop being scary!!

I got a damn trojan

But not from this Tool. I checked it with Kaspersky Internet Security and Eset Smart Security and both are reporting this Tool as an Clean File without an Trojan or an Virus. ;)

Seriously stop using Windows Defender it is one of the worst Anti-Virus Programms that you can use.

What i already did

unplug all cables but usb (the nes is powered by my pc so i can hear if it's booting or not)
boot the nes in fel mode then upload a kernel => pipe error
so to flash the nes i need to
select upload the original kernel first, then boot the nes in fel => success. i reboot the nes and it works like a new one

If i do the same with the custom kernel, select upload custom kernel then boot into fel => success, "you can add new games".
then i reboot the nes but got a boot loop

i add a game after a reboot => success, the led turns off but still got a boot loop
when i do the same but after the custom flash i add a game (without a reboot) => success, the led turns off but still got a boot loop

i tried to unplug at each steps of flashing the custom kernel but no luck every flash of custom kernel ends with a boot loop (the pc don't make a sound)

i even tried factory reset the nes, but it doesn't change anything
for me custom kernel = boot loop

I'm also getting the reset error to no avail. I opened a strand on reddit if u want to see what I have done so far.
https://www.reddit.com/r/nesclassic...odable_nes_classic/?ref=share&ref_source=link
bin trying all day today AND all yesterday. different computers, different setups, different drivers, multiple do overs, multiple usb ports...
This leads me to ask if there ARE variations of the NES Classic models that don't well support being flashed to due to some kind of factory error...

The 4 that shows it Contains an Trojan are trowing False Positives at almost every Executable File. I would rather believe well tested and trustfully Programms like Kaspersky, Eset-NOD32 (Smart Security), F-Secure or Gdata even the Microsoft Scanner says it is Safe. If you look close enough only 4 of 55 Scanners are trowing an Virus Alarm, if the Executable had an Real Trojan in it then all Well Known Programms would Report it.

If you dont Thrust well Known Scanners like Kaspersky or Eset-NOD32 thats fine but then dont use the Programm from the OP and stop Complaining.

Just my 5 Cents. ;)

So do you have to have an emulator already to download or open these files, or can you just download and save them all to a folder?

It's looking like I'm going to have to stop my research very soon till another source finds an answer... I've flashed damn near 100 times and I'm not trying to do any hardware damage to the system. So ill be watching this thread all day to see if anyone can figure this out. and I've tried the unplug method too for anyone wondering. If anyone has any questions about what methods I've tried, ill be glad to answer any questions.

I was thinking about that too, but why would they do that?
