ST-link v2 running on STM32Cube Programmer

I've recently bought a cheap Chinese ST-link v2 clone. It uses a Geehy APM32 MCU. Which is I guess  STM32 clone. I've since replaced it with a genuine STM32 MCU and st-link firmware. I was able to run it on  STM32 ST-link utility. But failed to run it on STM32CubeProgrammer. It wasn't detecting the st-link device. Is there a solution?

    Welcome @shovon134, to the community!

    As often discussed here in the community, clones are not accepted by the STM32CubeProg. Since there is no official binary of the original firmware, your ST-Link cannot be officially updated.

    Solution: get an original ST-LINK, either from a NUCLEO-64 or a genuine stand-alone ST-LINK. And forget these ST-LINK/V2 clones.
