Having an issue upgrading firmware from v2.15.8.1-beta. I run the Firmware update in the iOS app (BondBeta iOS app), it runs the normal cycle, reboots, and then says “Current Version: v2.17.4-2”. However, if I go back to the Bond Settings pane, it says v2.15.8.1-beta still.

And, if I force quit the app, and go back in to Bond Settings – it will prompt me to upgrade the Firmware again – as if it never received an update at all.

That’s odd. First, just try it again a few times. If that fails, you could contact support and ask them to upgrade the unit for you. (We now have this capability via our backend, with your consent).

Thanks @merck! It seems reaching out to you fixed my issue :wink:

I’ve actually tried it a number of times over the past 2 weeks (maybe 10x), without success. Strangely, it just worked and I see the correct data in Bond Settings. I think it was stuck on “Sync”… not sure if that’s relevant.

The magic “I talked to @merck” button strikes again! :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:
