PineTime and howto

[MedShake]

Hello
I received my pinetime today. I try to follow the howto but when I launch DaFlasher, I have the following message: "BLE Device was found in Nordic Bootloader mode you can flash it by clicking on "Do DFU Update""
I don't want to break the watch today so I'd rather ask for advice!
Thank you for your work and your help!

hello, are you on infitime now?

[MedShake]

Thanks for your answer.
The About screen show :
InfiniTime
Version 1.6.0
Bootloader 1.0.0

I just run twice GadgetBridge to try if it's work. I didn't do anything else.
I use DaFlasher on my old Samsung S7 with /e/ OS because on my S20FE the app crash on launch.
Thanks!

Good evening,
Surely an unexpected? Hope it's not a serious one ! I remain interested in a solution, unfortunately finding nothing online to succeed.
Thank you in advance, however there is no real urgency!

Hi !
No news about this ?
I tried a lot, with no success until this days :-(
Thanks !

I'm also unable to flash any of the steps onto the Pinetime using either DaFlasher or nRF Connect. I was able to get Wasp-OS installed and then flash back to the newest InfiniTime, so I don't think it's an issue with the Pinetime, my phone, or the tools. Is there something I'm missing? The docs don't really seem to relate to the Pinetime.

I'm having this exact issue. I've tried from multiple phones and multiple watches (I got the developer bundle).

No way to perform first step, so I started on the second and the file starts transfer but never advances. The instructions ask to redo this step in that case. This suggestion is not doing anything for me.

Since this is a DaFlasher issue. I have submitted an issue there.

atc1441/DaFlasherFiles#16

Seeing some of the comments it seems that the nordic bootloader has some incompatibility and using nRFConnect seems to be suggested. I tried to use it still following the instructions here but I can't send the .bin app in step 1 or send the second file as a new bootloader because it asks for a .dat file.

I don't know how to generate this.

Hey, I'm in the same situation. Did you ever get eucwatch running on the pinetime?

[jmonroynieto]

No, I haven't pushed through expecting someone with more experience or the owner of the repo to come up with some ideas.

Maybe asking for help on the linked issue would be helpful.

Hi trying to get this on my pinetime running infinitime 1.11.0 with bootloader 1.0.0

While i wish i knew more on how to do this, I'm closer to a end user then advanced user. With updates to my infinitime i can "download the DFU ZIP file and use the companion app of your choice to update the firmware over the air" my companion app being gadgetbridge. Does eucwatch have this option or is the pinetime software using a incompatible software philosophy? While still not foolproof I could work out how to update as a windows/android user using their methodology.

I understand this project uses gadgetbridge in some ways so here is the pinetime docs on how they do their ota updates with their bootloader if in the unlikely event your not aware.
