    The Bangle 2 broke at the strap connections on the case.

    I might have finally fixed that with UHU Repair all putty
    (https://www.gluemaxx.de/en/adhesives/2-cĀ­omponent-adhesives/epoxy-putty/18/uhu-reĀ­pair-all-powerkitt-60g)

    The strap of the Bangle 1 ruptured in the "joint" that sits in the clasp when closed.
    I tried fixing this one with ordinary super glue. Seems to work for now.

    Same problem here.

    I tried to "replace" the pieces that broke away with a two component glue, but the one I chose was too soft so the pin kept sliding out.
    I'll have to look for something that is basically no more flexible than the original ABS once it has completely dried.

    Also the strap of the Bangle 1 is falling apart.
    I saw replacements in the store but when I wanted to finalize the order, the page told me they are out of stock (and I guess they are not coming back).
    Are there alternatives for the B1 straps?
    I would even buy a similar watch for a few EUR just to get the wrist band to not have to dump the B1.

    I tried about 30-40 times during the last few days, also with different firmwares. Mostly with the edge builds, hoping that the package content would make a difference.

    Just tried again and with the 2.12.28 release it worked.
    I used an Android 10 phone and the nRF Toolbox app.

    Happy to have the little bugger alive again :D

    I tried from a Windows 10 PC and an Android 10 mobile.

    I bricked my Bangle 2 but still hope there is a way to recover it.

    After updating to 2.12.16 the message displaying didn't work for me so I tried to go back to an earlier version and might have had an update error there.

    That didn't work out and I got an error. I tried down to version 2.10, all the same.
    During the last three days I also tried to get the latest edge builds on in but to no avail.

    I get into the DFU Start without problems and am presented with

    DFU Start
    BTN1 = REBOOT
    CONNECT
    

    I then start the flashing operation, wich goes up to 99% and then hangs, with the watch showing

    DFU Start
    BTN1 = REBOOT
    CONNECT
    ERROR
    

    After about 30s the watch reboots by itself an the presents the following message

    SW RESET
    DFU2V12
    
    CHECK STORAGE
    NO NEW FW
    BANK0 INVALID
    BTN1 = REBOOT
    

    Is there any way to get another working FW back onto the Bangle 2 or does it need recycling?

    I tried uploading the FW with the IDE Flasher and the nRF Toolbox.

    This has been solved by removing the Bangle2 from the "Paired Devices" list in the phone and disabling the Discovery and pairing -> Ignore connected devices (option names translated from German) option in Gadgetbridge.

    Objection denied

    My objection was denied by Geman customs on the grounds that the IOSS number was not included in the customs announcement(?) ( I guess that's where Royal Mail fucked it up). It's not enough to just have the number on the receipt and/or packaging slip.

    They made it clear that the only way to handle this is to go through the seller/sender.

    Pretty sad.
