Hi,

I had almost exactly the same issue with an older P3 last week. I was 
using MidiOx as well and got the BAD DATA messages when sending the 
upgrade. I tried a few times to no avail. 

What solved my problem was using P3 Tools to send the firmware to the 
P3. I believe that MidiOx had been trying to send the firmware at a 
rate that was too fast for the P3. P3 Tools is available in 
the 'Files' section.

Cheers

Simon
