Zha integration not starting after upgrade firmware of conbee 2

Configuration Zigbee
1

Hi
My setup is:
windows 10
virtual box
conbee 2 zigbee .
I added the ZHA integration and added 43 devices .
I had some issues with it (usb sound of removing and adding device) So I decided to upgrade .
I used this doc:

and run it
here is the upgrade messages

This is the file I use to flash

When sarting HA I see the usb stick as hardware on the vm
but the integration doesn’t start
here is the log

I have the exact same problem. Got my brand new ConBee II stick today. Connected it, ZHA integration was auto-detected. I try to configure it and I get the below error in logs. I also tried to flash the stick to latest available firmware but the same issue persists. Tried different USB ports, rebooting my Rpi to no avail. Some help would be really appreciated.

I posted a query regarding this in HA Discord and some guys there very very helpful. They gave a hint that this is most likely because of interference. Posting some of the messages here for details. As per the hint I moved the Rpi running HA to a separate room with very few other devices that could interfere with the signal and vola, configuring ZHA worked like a charm! Hope this helps someone coming across this thread.

MAC_CHANNEL_ACCESS_FAILURE means the Conbee is experiencing so much interference that it won’t transmit data. Put it on a USB 2.0 extension cable and move it away from SSDs, USB 3.0 ports, SBCs, etc.

I usually use a three or five foot extender. Is it near any other 2.4GHz mesh networking equipment? Power supplies? Motherboard IO panels? Bluetooth? The Conbee is (sometimes annoyingly) sensitive so it just needs to be placed correctly.

Why did it start to act up only after the latest update? Mine is already in a 1.5 meter USB extension.

That is strange. For me, it didn’t work with the firmware update of the stick. I tried several locations in my home and I could only get it to work in very few locations. Even if there is a power strip or a router close by I couldn’t get it to work. It seems to be extremely sensitive. Maybe my case was a bit different.
