    Hi,
    i made today a binary-update (after script-update) and now my gamepad is no more working. i got no message "no gamepad detected" (as if i plugout it at boot), but i can't navigate in ES...also keyboard does nothing.

    over ssh i see this in syslog:
    May 15 16:54:25 retropie kernel: [ 7.416364] input: Logitech Logitech RumblePad 2 USB as /devices/platform/soc/3f980000.usb/usb1/1-1/1-1.5/1-1.5:1.0/0003:046D:C218.0001/input/input2
    May 15 16:54:25 retropie kernel: [ 7.417196] logitech 0003:046D:C218.0001: input,hidraw2: USB HID v1.10 Joystick [Logitech Logitech RumblePad 2 USB] on usb-3f980000.usb-1.5/input0
    May 15 16:54:25 retropie kernel: [ 7.417258] logitech: probe of 0003:046D:C218.0001 failed with error -1

    any hints?

    regards Frank

      Hey frank-w,

      I don't have any answers for you, but I can confirm that a binary update also wrecked my xbox 360 controller's connectivity. Sometimes it would work, sometimes it would only partially work, and sometimes I got the "no gamepads" problem too.

      Best solution I found was to save my home folder (with the roms, saves, etc.) and reinstall. I didn't have the patience to look for a way to back out those updates. Something to do with a kernel update, I suspect.

        Exactly the same issue here, after the update my Logitech Cordless RumblePad 2 is detected (if I try to configure inputs using another pad in Emulation Station it says 2 pads detected) but does not respond to any button pressed.
        I want to clarify that the Logitech Cordless RumblePad 2 is not a bluetooth pad, but rather uses a wireless receiver that is USB-connected to the Raspberry Pi. I tested the pad with my laptop and it works fine, and it was working fine also with the Raspberry Pi before the update.

          Same Issue here. I did binary update to Retropie 3.8 and now my gamepad IS detected but buttons do not respond. Rumblepad 2 wired. Also tried clean Retropie 3.8 installation from official image but problem is still the same. Any suggestions?

            The only way I was able to make it work again was to back-up my home directory, reinstall from the 3.7 image, and then copy back the content of my home directory. I lost some setting in the process, but now the pad is working.

              I have the same issue with my NES30 and SNES30 gamepads. I pair them fine but as soon as I open emulation station it says "No Gamepads Detected" and only responds to D-pad inputs and the keys do nothing....I don't even have a backup of my older retro pie images so i am SOL right now

                Same here.
                I was with a previous version of Retropie and everything worked fine. As I like to live on the edge, I did a binary update to 3.8.1
                Then my pads would not work anymore.
                So I formatted the SD card, installed from scratch version 3.8.1 But still the same problem. The Logitech Cordless RumblePad sends its controls to the receiver (I see a led light turn on each time I press a button), but Retropie does not read them properly. Even though it sees there is something connected (emulationstation tells me the correct number of connected gamepads when I go to configure one).

                Any help would be appreciated... I know I can still go back to 3.7, but I'd rather see this fixed so I won't miss all new updates and get stuck on 3.7.
                Thanks

                  https://github.com/raspberrypi/linux/issues/1496

                  rpi-update should sort it, or wait till a new kernel is packaged. Controller may still work in xinput mode.

                    rpi-update does not work currently....SSL-Issues with curl (ca-certificates installed and time is correct)...
                    how can i activate xinput mode? currently i cannot access ES...only SSH

                    can i downgrade kernel without rpi-update-script?

                      got it (with patched update-rpi.sh) working:

                      pi@retropie:~ $ curl 'http://pastebin.com/raw/e2ZKSMr1' -o 'patched_rpi-update.sh' -L -B
                      pi@retropie:~ $ tr -d '\015' < patched_rpi-update.sh > ./patched_rpi-update
                      pi@retropie:~ $ sudo chmod +x ./patched_rpi-update
                      pi@retropie:~ $ sudo ./patched_rpi-update 771a503cfc2a1130e2df2a4ddfc45ffa0f592b3f
