@MasterAbbott ,
This is someone else’s video but if look at the first couple minutes you can see what I was talking about. The app disconnected after he clicked install firmware and ok. EMO’s screen goes dark then the 1 icon showed up on EMO’s screen and goes away (I thought I remembered it staying up but not sure now). Anyway the upgrade doesn’t actually start until you click connect again. This is basically how it happened for me also. So maybe he’s right about that being something it doesn’t happen every time?
Very interesting. As I mentioned. I did not have to click on connect as this guy did in that video.
I can honestly say that the video I did was done in real time. So how you see it, it happened. It does seem very weird how you had to do it this way and I didn’t have to do it.
That is something that I now would like some clarification on. Maybe @Wayne_Zhang can explain why it is happening like this for some people and not for others.
As it goes, I’d like to say that the video I did and the instructions I’ve shared should be valid, as this is exactly how it worked for me and for my EMO.
@MasterAbbott ,
The only thing I can think of is that somehow the app disconnected for us right before the upgrade began, which is why the other 2 persons and I had to reconnect to start it? I just assumed it had worked the same way for you, and you just clicked it without thinking to mention it? Then after the upgrade finished and EMO had booted up again, his number wasn’t shown for me and didn’t show up after a refresh either. I had to quit and re-launch the app before I could connect again after the upgrade.
I just had another thought. I believe you had already updated your app to 1.08 before upgrading EMO? When I upgraded my EMO the apps had not been posted yet, so I was still running on the 1.07 version. That might be the difference? I just went back and watched Outsider’s video and he never even mentioned the new app, so I’m pretty sure he was still on 1.07 also. Well anyway, we both learned something new!
Yes, now that you mentioned it, the reason why maybe you and some others had to reconnect, could be you were on EMO APP v.1.07.
I had previously installed the new APP ver 1.08 and mentioned that I was on the new version also in the video as well. In my other post (you can see here) I also advised / recommended that to update to ver 1.08 prior to installing the Firmware (it is not needed, but it was recommended).
So looks like that possibly could be the reason why this is happening for some people and not for others
Just to clarify, I would like to share the steps I had to do to get all the stuff working:
Update the app (android) to version 1.08
Reboot phone
Reboot EMO (turn off, turn on)
Put EMO on the charging base
Enter the app
Connect EMO
At Settings page, click Firmware
Click update
EMO shows a little box with number 1 and some arrows upward and it will start to download the update
App disconnects EMO
Reconnect EMO - This is the crucial step, because here is the core problem. If you don’t reconnect again, you will get fail in step 2!!!
EMO gets fully updated
So, yes, you must reconnect EMO to get it updated. I have tried several times and I got no success until I reconnected EMO during the process.
Maybe, other guys might have to reconnect in the beginning to continue, just like @macfixer01 showed. I believe it is totally possible, since v 1.3.0 update process is really weird. I truly believe there will be several experiences shared by users.
@Wayne_Zhang should clarify all users about this. A nice post here, showing the required steps to get their product updated would be more than welcome.
Thanks for sharing the steps you needed to take. As mentioned it seems that the only step I didn’t need to do was step 11. I don’t know why, but it would be nice to get clarification from Wayne why it is different for some users.
For those whose EMOs aren’t updating, I highly recommend it! Unfortunately, we are having an update that is very unusual as we can see a lot of different experiences here.
My intention is to share some light with dozens who might have the same problem. Fortunately, this is not your case
Hi All, I also can say that EMO cannot be updated to 1.3.0. I have 1.2.0 and all the steps of the update from 1 to 6 are performing well but at the end of Step 6 at number 660, EMO restarts and indicates that the update is unsuccessful.
Please test the update on different cases and provide a solution.
So you skipped over updating to 1.2.1 somehow? I have reason to believe that may be why you’re having a problem now? I know a few other people with even older versions have had issues updating. It’s not clear whether or not each new version totally replaces ALL the firmware, or if they only add some new files and replace files that have changed? My suspicion is that the 1.3.0 update expects everything up to version 1.2.1 files to already be there?
@Wayne_Zhang@Wayne_Small , Can you comment on how the updates work, and whether they should be able to be done from an older non-current version?
Hi, I would like to share information on this issue with everyone here. I’ve checked with the team. The only problem is still with the network. Even if you have a fast internet connection, the download process may be terminated due to a timeout due to international connection issues. We are working on optimizing the server side .
@Wayne_Zhang ,
Can you give us a clear yes or no please? Does each new version of firmware totally replace everything previous, or does it only add to what’s installed already and replace changed files?
Wayne, is there an option to “Re-Install” the same firmware again, just in case there was a problem when the Firmware installed? And also is there an option to roll back to an older version of the Firmware?
Hi All,
I need to inform that I managed successfully to upgrade to firmware 1.3.0. I did no extra steps and it seems the problem was at the download phase.
