Have you disconnected everything that was talking through the logger? Such as MB maybe?

What! Davis hasn't fixed the envoy firmware issue yet?  I had the very same problem and I was able to fix it on my own.  I emailed them a few weeks ago and they said that they would be fixing the firmware update file that is corrupt.  They accidentally reprogrammed your envoy to be a console product #6312B.

The updater that is corrupt is:
downloadable firmware file "https://www.davisnet.com/support/weather/download/VP2_Wireless_3_80_Envoy.zip"
VP2_Wireless_3_80_Envoy.zip  MD5=AD7DD8434EE2DA0BE2D773AA4442CD07  bytes=339133

Which contains the file:
VP2_Envoy.exe  MD5=BFDFF2AE1DDD9BA5B5C287E564CEA0BE  bytes=356864  modified=11/10/2017 12:15:02 PM

The errors you get are:
failed to complete update
error upon firmware update 2nd time:  Model number does not match!

Here is the fix to get your unit back online:

• download the older "Envoy2_wireless_firmware_3_15.exe".
  
• extract the files to a folder using an extractor like '7zip' (https://www.7-zip.org/).
  
• edit the "VP2_EnvoyConfig.txt" file by replacing the "6316" model with "6312B".
  
• launch the update using the edited config file as a parameter:  VP2_PC_Updater.exe VP2_EnvoyConfig.txt.
  

Example file:
// Title
VP2 Envoy Console Updater
// Code File
VP2_Envoy_3_15.UP
// Model Numbers
6312B

I downladed the file 3.15 and read the file and say this:

// Title
VP2 Envoy Console Updater
// Code File
VP2_Envoy_3_15.UP
// Model Numbers
6316

[optical_man]

Yes and now perform steps 3 & 4 that I wrote above.

[josecmorales]

But why i have to change "6316" model with "6312B"?, in my case the weather envoy is 6316, i have to do that too?

[optical_man]

This is because they changed the model number sent to your unit from the bad firmare.  The procedure that I have outlined above will change you unit back to 6316 after you complete step #4.

Ready, problem is solved! thanks.

My station is back.
