I thought I saw something that implied NoahLink Wireless might work (that’s why I had a question mark) Just found another source that confirmed that cables are required. In the stuff from Oticon I shared they mention that they may stop supporting HIPRO and HIPRO serial (and hence MiniPro) at some indeterminate time in the future. If so, MiniPro users will be out of luck.
So based on the Cable Overview guide, the BTE UP doesn’t even need the FlexConnect cable.
I assume that the CS44 cable is what they call the Hi-PRO #3 programming cable? You just plug it directly into the BTE UP. How convenient!

I just used a mini PRO to update firmware on my OPN S 1 BTE’s - estimate was 26 minutes and it took 26 minutes. And yes, the CS44 cable directly into the BTE is better than the flexconnect but sometimes it just doesn’t want to plug in until I wiggle it around every which way and then one more…
I don’t think that (mini Pro/Hi Pro) users will be out of luck anytime soon due to the fact that they ain’t fast enough. imo> a CYA statement like that from the manufacturer was likely meant to coax their professional users to seek higher speeds as opposed to dwelling on (or complaining about) the ridiculously long Firmware update time of 30 minutes.
Cable Plugin Tip: If you have eagle eyes 
, there is an alignment dot along with a corresponding grove on the plugin cylinder that allows it to be connected only with the proper alignment. Look for a red colored matching mark on the hearing aid and align the two:

Nice, like phonak…
Yes, and the straight connectors have a red line to use as an alignment tool.
sorry, I want to ask. anybody here who has the link to download Noah3 ?
Not sure what Noah3 is. Are you talking about the Noahlink Wireless interface? It should be a plug and play device. If you want to check for its latest firmware version download, you can google it and find it on the HIMSA website.

You don’t need this to program your HAs, the software is only used by the audiology clinics.
Ah, OK, thanks for explaining. I had no clue what it was.
hello everyone, right now I’m using the phonak target 7.1 and it is very difficult to connection with the Icube …
does anyone know, whether the icube can be use in the Target 7.1 ?
if not, what version that is in accordance with the Icube ? ( not icube II )
@andreanboea How come you’re talking about Phonak software but you’ve put it in a Oticon Opn thread?
You’ll need Phonak Target 6.0 or less to work with the first generation iCube.
I’m sorry, I was careless
@andreanboea no need to be sorry. It’s okay. I was just wondering about your post. 
Hope I answered your question about what Target will work with your iCube.

Hi, anyone can share a direct link to latest Genie2?. Oticon now request a login to download software, and the only way to register is as a company.
Thanks!
Thanks a lot!! I can confirm python script also works under Linux.
Can’t wait for my HI-PRO to arrive soon.
Glad that it works for Linux.

Looking for a clear answer here.
I’ve got the Oticon More HAs that have rechargeable batteries. In reading a bunch of posts above, I’m unclear whether I need cables to update firmware or if it can be done wirelessly. There are mentions of cables needed with older HAs, included the OPNs but my HAs are slightly newer so not sure if that changes things.
Is there an Echo in here??
