ESC Flash problems

Hello,

I have Hobbypower 30A ESC on my hexacopter. I have been having flight problems and one of the issues that was suggested that the ESC's were purchased at 2 different times and my have different firmware. I researched and found that the TGY.hex was the firmware that should be on the esc's that I have. I have flashed it and now all the hex does is beep. No throttle just a beep every few seconds. I have been messing with this for 2 months and I am ready to give up, scrap the esc's and purchase new ones. I would rather not, as these have less than 5 minutes of flight time on them. The original problem was an extremely uncontrollable hex, with extremely high gains (290, 290, 190, 150 Naza v2). Some background info. This was originally a quad (f450) and flew like a dream. Very controllable, easy to fly, but I wanted a hex. Bought more of the same motors, esc's, hex pdb and more arms. After assembling it, It has never flown right. I really would appreciate ANY assistance in what to do to get the esc's firmware on and back in the sky. Please help.

Thank you!

All I can say, is that I have 4, 30amp Hobbypower ESC's on a quad, and 3 out of 5 times, one motor, or another, will studder on arming. Unplug battery and plug back, and usually all motors start and work fine. However, I have not yet found the problem, and until I do, I won't buy any more Hobbypower ESC's. When calibrating, these ESC's tend to go straight to program mode, at least mine do. I had to do a lot of research to find out how to set the default settings. Can't remember now, but it was VERY frustrating.
