Bangle stuck with Updating Boot0...

Posted on
  • Unfortuneatly my Bangle 1 is stuck with "Updating Boot0..." after updating the bootloader.
    I can access the watch via bluetooth, but the connection breaks after short time.
    I tried uninstall all apps/install default apps, but this fails with "no answer".

    Any idea what to do?

  • When resetting without loading any code it ends with "->bluetooth" but is not connectable. Firmware is the latest one.

    I may not be able to resolve your issue @Tx , collecting a bit more detail should assist others.

    What process/tutorial was used to update the bootloader? Link please



    After resetting using these steps, do we have the same scenario described above?

    Are you able to step through this process, and if so, at what line is the last possible?

    Updating the firmware without a smartphone

    Another idea to try:

    Banglejs not booting
    see link   'It's usually pretty much impossible to 'brick' it since the bootloader won't overwrite itself.'

  • Hi Robin,

    thank you. I resetted it without loading any code
    https://www.espruino.com/Bangle.js#reset­ting-without-loading-any-code
    I see an error: "ncaught error expecting first argu" which is strange since no app should be launched.

    I tried several times (>12) to "delete all apps" and "install default apps" in the store, but it lost always the connection and got stuck.

    However today I managed to complete the process and now I have default apps reinstalled. What is the difference to yesterday? Hm, it's the next day :-) I really don't know since the process was the same as yesterday around midnight.

    Thank you for your time.

    Tx

  • Glad you got this sorted! That's a stange one though.

    My guess is maybe some app got installed that made the communications to BangleApps unreliable, but then the fact that you got 'resetting-without-loading-any-code' (unless you have some really really old firmware) is a bit odd.

  • It has been the latest stable one. The reset problem (not the original problem with update of the bootloader) might have been related to a custom start image.

  • The reset problem might have been related to a custom start image.

    Ahh - wow, yes, that starts to make a lot more sense! ncaught error expecting first argu would be part of the error from Graphics complaining that I guess you'd uploaded something that wasn't a valid image to the .splash file.

    Deleting everything in flash can take a while (30 secs or so) - did you leave it that long? Or I guess maybe if you thought it had crashed before it never got left long enough to erase everything properly.
