3.7.6 - Mini - Needs change to work #18

JonLaliberte · 2023-06-02T17:25:22Z

For some reason, the script was not working on a Mini (I think R1? I got it a long time ago) running firmware 3.7.6.
I was able to get it working by completely removing the "deviceid" from the body variable in the sonoff_http_request function, and also from the ota_flash function.

That made the script start working and got Tasmota flashed.

The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:

njh · 2023-06-04T22:00:39Z

Hm, interesting, thanks!

I have tested quite a bit with Firmware versions 3.5.0 and 3.6.0 and both R1 and R2 but didn't experience this.
I can't remember how essential the deviceid parameter was when I was testing.

I wonder if it is possible to test if the parameter is needed somehow.

JonLaliberte · 2023-06-05T00:18:22Z

With the deviceid there I wasn’t getting any response when it tries to get the device info. Maybe after X seconds timeout and try without it?

RKeme · 2023-06-08T00:43:20Z

I confirm Jonathans findings- I was able to use the scipt by removing the deviceid at the mentioned places four times.
3.3.0 -> 3.7.6 -> diy-> adapted script

gonzalonaveira · 2023-07-06T10:41:06Z

Can confirm using Mini R2 and firmware version "3.7.6" as well

njh · 2023-07-10T12:38:27Z

It would be good to try the following things:

Test if the deviceid parameter is actually required for older firmware versions
If it isn't: just it remove the deviceid parameter completely
If it is: look at automatically detecting if it is required (maybe look at fwVersion when getting /info), or add a manual option

I am going to have to get my serial cable and tazmotizer out, to load different firmware versions on to a test device 😬

LngWork · 2023-07-21T18:32:51Z

Thank you for this report, same issue.
Firmware version 3.7.0 : impossible to flash, with or without deviceid. Very difficult to configure WiFi.

Finaly here was my way :

Connect with eWeLink APP
Upgrade to last firmware version (3.7.6 in my case)
Remove device from eWeLink APP (very important). Device config is then restored to default config.
Press button 5s+5s, connect to AP ITEAD-xxxx, setup WiFi config thru http://10.10.7.1
POST to /zeroconf/info without deviceid (reference : https://sonoff.tech/sonoff-diy-developer-documentation-basicr3-rfr3-mini-http-api/ ). Within response you get deviceid
Then follow normal procedure WITH deviceid

Thank you @njh for your job !

solarsnoop · 2023-07-24T10:51:29Z

Hi Thanks you all, my expierence is the same and i have my problems to modify this scrip so i used RESTer Add on for send the requests to the SONOFF with FW 3.7.6. What i can say ist that the ID you can see in the SSID ITEAD-ID.
In my case: ITEAD-10017318ef
So what i did is i request the /zeroconf/info with using this ID and was succesful.
{
"deviceid": "10017318ef",
"data": { }
}
Than I enable OTA Flashing with /zeroconf/ota_unlock:

{
"deviceid": "10017318ef",
"data": { }
}

and than i flash tasmato fw with zeroconf/ota_flash
{
"deviceid": "10017318ef",
"data": {
"downloadUrl": "http://sonoff-ota.aelius.com/tasmota-latest-lite.bin",
"sha256sum": "5c1aecd2a19a49ae1bec0c863f69b83ef40812145c8392eebe5fd2677a6250cc"
}
}

So the Setting for RESTler was Clean Request and the Method is POST.

So hope this will help someone has the same problem .-)

@njh Nicholas maybe you can extend your script whre we can add the ID smae like the IP etc...
Thanks in advance Guido

mifraburneo · 2023-08-29T10:43:39Z

Hi!
I’m having an issue (that’s actually happening in 3.6.0 as well as after updating to 3.7.6) in which I can get the response on the Module Info but it hangs with an empty reply whoen trying to do the ota_unlock…
Have you run into some simmilar issue? I’ve now tried with two brand new MINI R2.

Thanks a lot!

IBims1NicerTobi · 2023-09-10T13:28:35Z

@mifraburneo Can you please try flashing again with https://github.com/IBims1NicerTobi/sonoff-ota-flash-cli-devid-fix?

IBims1NicerTobi · 2023-09-10T13:31:31Z

@njh There is a pull request now. I have personally tested it on a sonoff mini r2 with 3.7.6 and it worked while the current base version did not work at all.

jesusvallejo · 2023-09-16T22:43:33Z

@njh There is a pull request now. I have personally tested it on a sonoff mini r2 with 3.7.6 and it worked while the current base version did not work at all.

it worked like a charm, thanks a lot!

3N37 · 2023-11-19T09:43:27Z

@mifraburneo

I have the same problem as you, I have version 3.7.3 on sonoffminiR2. 2 I managed to flash and 2 others I can't.Another strange thing, I installed ewelink but when I try to register it crashes.

Siftah · 2023-11-26T12:49:26Z

Same issue as @mifraburneo and @3N37, running 3.7.6 firmware the curl always times out when trying to unlock.

I can see it's trying to contact apid.coolkit.cn/v2/d/otaflash (changed URL from earlier versions) and have redirected this to a local http server which is responding with { "error": 422 }, which I've seen elsewhere can allow the flash to proceed, but no dice, it still times out even though I can see in the logs it's hitting that URL correctly.

Unfortunately @IBims1NicerTobi fix doesn't help either :(

3N37 · 2023-11-29T20:34:43Z

@Siftah
I've written a guide here
flashing sonoffminiR2.it.en.pdf

Siftah · 2023-11-30T11:58:34Z

Thanks for sharing it @3N37, unfortunately it no longer works - the call to the unlock server is happening but the response seems to be ignored, the curl eventually times out and the Sonoff is never unlocked :(

I presume this must be a bug in the latest firmware, or they've changed the necessary response from what's in your example :(

3N37 · 2023-11-30T12:10:58Z

@Siftah ,
check if the apache server has the rewrite module enabled . I have unblocked sonoffminiR2 that had 3 different firmware. It works !

Siftah · 2023-11-30T14:19:47Z

Rewrite module is working great:

siftah@fozzie sonoff-ota-flash-cli-devid-fix % curl -v -X POST http://apid.coolkit.cn/v2/d/otaflash --data-raw '{"deviceid":"10009be24e","data":{} }'
Note: Unnecessary use of -X or --request, POST is already inferred.

}%                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 siftah@fozzie sonoff-ota-flash-cli-devid-fix %

And I see the corresponding hit in the local server also:
/var/log/apache2/access.log.1:192.168.1.90 - - [29/Nov/2023:14:32:42 +0100] "POST /v2/d/otaflash HTTP/1.1" 200 194 "-" "-"

3N37 · 2023-11-30T14:26:09Z

@Siftah ,
ok so it works? where does it get stuck?

Siftah · 2023-11-30T15:53:57Z

Times out when calling the ota_unlock :(

siftah@fozzie sonoff-ota-flash-cli-devid-fix % curl http://192.168.1.90:8081/zeroconf/ota_unlock -XPOST --data-raw '{"deviceid":"10009be24e","data":{} }' -v

3N37 · 2023-11-30T16:05:39Z

@Siftah
check these 2 things :

with wireshark or tcpdump check that the sonoff actually calls apid.coolkit.cn
that the .htaccess file (must be placed in the root directory and then before flashing should be moved to v2) transforms the otaflash call to otaflash.php

Siftah · 2023-11-30T16:14:37Z

@3N37 Yes, both of those things are proven in the dumps I've pasted above;

This is the Sonoff (192.168.1.90) on my local network making the POST to my server at 192.168.1.253:
/var/log/apache2/access.log.1:192.168.1.90 - - [29/Nov/2023:14:32:42 +0100] "POST /v2/d/otaflash HTTP/1.1" 200 194 "-" "-"
The last post confirms 2, that the URL is hit and the remote server is responding with the necessary response.

Thank you for your help, it's much appreciated! :)

3N37 · 2023-11-30T16:20:31Z

@Siftah ,

so were you able to unlock it ? otaUnlock:true ?
did you try to use the manual procedure as explained in my .pdf ?

Siftah · 2023-11-30T16:28:38Z

I was not able to unlock it, because the curl times out and never completes.

I did use the manual procedure as explained in your .pdf, the logs I've pasted above show it being done and failing.

3N37 · 2023-11-30T16:35:52Z

i give up.
i can still tell you that at the beginning i had the same errors as you , then applying the procedure as in the .pdf i was able to unlock them all .
let me know if you solve

3N37 · 2023-11-30T16:45:39Z

this is the correct form

curl -XPOST --header "Content-Type: application/json" --data-raw '{"data": {}}' http://192.168.1.90:8081/zeroconf/ota_unlock

Siftah · 2023-11-30T18:35:09Z

@3N37 Exactly the same error.

siftah@fozzie ~ % curl -XPOST --header "Content-Type: application/json" --data-raw '{"data": {}}' 192.168.1.90:8081/zeroconf/ota_unlock
curl: (52) Empty reply from server

stefan-STMODE · 2024-03-18T21:41:48Z

i got i working after lots of testing and trying, i just upgraded 2 r2 mini's

both added first with eWeLink app and upgraded them from 3.6.0 to 3.7.6
with the use of the script i only get the deviceid number,
one i flashed tasmota lite on with "postman" and with the deviceid filled in
the other one failed even to get info from it, but this one i could flash with the DIY tool (v1.2.0)

3N37 · 2024-03-18T21:48:23Z

in a nutshell those with jumpers should be updated with the old way , those without external antenna and without jumpers with the procedure described above.

stefan-STMODE · 2024-03-18T21:54:07Z

it are "newer" ones with wifi inside

Gyrohammer · 2024-05-04T19:15:14Z

For some reason, the script was not working on a Mini (I think R1? I got it a long time ago) running firmware 3.7.6. I was able to get it working by completely removing the "deviceid" from the body variable in the sonoff_http_request function, and also from the ota_flash function.

That made the script start working and got Tasmota flashed.

Just used this method with a Mini R2 purchased a a few weeks ago and it worked! Thanks.
