Hi there! I got my apm 2.5 board at yesterday, and when i tried to update firmware first time, I had the same issue. Several hours and attempts after i found solution to my case. I have several com port because of some bluethoot moduls. After i disabled these com port and only the arduino 2560 port left in the device management, the update run succesfuly. after disabling other port the simple connect command was faster too.

It works for me.
