Hello everybody, I am trying to update my T 1000 device to the latest firmware via Meshtastic Flasher but it does not show up as a device. It shows the serial mode, I can pair it but no device I can copy the firmware to.I tried Linux, Windows, Edge and Chrome. Anybody any idea what I might missing? Thanks for a hint…

Current v2.4.2.5b45303

Check the device documentation for a specific button combination (usually holding a button while connecting via USB).

Newbie here. I’m having a similar issue that the firmware update didn’t work. Unlike the OP, my device is stuck in a boot loop. I’ve tried erasing the firmware, but when I go to the serial window part, it just says it’s “formatting” and nothing else. If I try to reinstall the firmware, all appears well, but then when it done, the device just goes back into a boot loop. In the FAQ, it mentions reloading a bootloader, but the instructions are seriously lacking.
Any help would be appreciated.
FYI, I have one other T1000-E and I 'm holding off updating the firmware as I don’t want to run into issues again.

Did you use this web flasher? Dont update the firmware until you get it working initially (other one)

[ThatGuy]

Yes. I’ve used it on other devices (RAK/T-Echo) and didn’t have an issue. Before I tried updating it, I was able to get this onto the mesh with my other nodes. My other nodes are running 2.5.15, so I wanted to update the T1000-E’s so all my nodes are on the same firmware. The T-1000’s were the first time I tried wiping the flash first, as they recommend. This is where I’m stuck. I’m suspecting that something happened with the erase and it won’t let a new firmware to be flashed properly.

yes you dont need to wipe the flash first. did you do the reset procedure? press the button and “double click” the magnetic connector on and off real fast

Flashing Meshtastic on the WIO Tracker 1110 from Seeed Studio

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uyIYIUaElUQ Flashing Meshtastic on the WIO Tracker 1110 from Seeed Studio. I purchased the WIO Tracker 1110 from Seeed Studio when it was first introduced. I haven’t developed a use case until Seeed Studio developed an OLED display and compatible GPS to make the WIO Tracker compatible with Meshtastic. So I work out what I need to do to flash Meshtastic on the WIO Tracker 1110 and put it to the test. Key is to cd to the directory holding adafruit-nrfutil.exe C:…

different device but same procedure

Thanks, I used this as a guide. After several hours of trial and error, I muddled my way around PowerShell (never used it before) and several installations of Python, I ended up getting the T1000 in a working condition.
I then updated the other T1000 to the new firmware without doing an erase and it too is now fully operational.
