R5E does not accept bios 1201 update

Hi,
I tried to update my r5e bios to version 1201 the usual way: usb bios flashback
I had the new bios rename to R5E.CAP in a newly format fat32 usb 2.0 thumb drive.
I pressed and hold the rog connect button for 3 secs until it blinking. But it only blink 3 times then off. Nothing happening.
I confirm that i had the thumbdrive in the correct slot.

Does anybody know what is the problem i'm experiencing?

Thanks.

Hello

Something is not prepped properly. As Randolla suggested flash from within the UEFI.

Flash from within uefi works.
