[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djtyta:
I have only one question: If you see that phone is recognized by computer - what are you waiting for? Don't hesitate and flash it by ASUS flashtool!!! Use the latest RAW-firmware for your model. Do not flash old RAW-firmware for this can put an end to your efforts to revive your device :laugh:

By the way - if you encounter any troubles - please write to me, I'll try to help you. I'm also known as "bk-78" on russian forum 4PDA, and there it is my post abot unbricking our ZenFones by means of xFSTK. It was very long ago, more than one year ago.

[General Accessories] Packrat:
I have a BT338 bluetooth GPS adapter it will not get a lock on and I have been looking for a flash program for it to see if I can reflash it.

I followed a link from a site to this sites ftp server that used to have it but it looks like it has been taken down.

Does anyone know if flashing is possible and if so does anyone have a program to do so?

Thanks for any help.
[General Accessories] whbell:
Packrat,

I have had a BT-338 for two years and I love it. I don't recall that I was ever able to find a method to upgrade the firmware. I will watch this thread in case some one has an answer.

On the other hand, I did have problems when I first got this unit. If I played with changing setting between WAAS/normal and/or Sirf/NMEA modes, sometimes this thing was not get a lock. To fix it I would use a laptop tool to reset the unit to factor setting. I think it was GPSInfo connecting via a BT dongle.

Let me know if this might help and I will look into the exact detail if you need it.
[General Accessories] Packrat:
Thanks for the reply, I tried to reset it to factory via the SirDemo program, but that didnt help. Hopefully I can find a way.
[General Accessories] Antineutrino:
Yes reflash is possible...

You can use SirfDemo and SirfFlash

The procedure is almost the one described here....

http://web.mac.com/tomtastic/site/log/Entries/2007/6/18_Holux_GPSlim236_boot_mode.html

You can download the needed tools here...

http://www.falcom.de/support/software-tools/sirf/

To flash

- First you have to connect your bt-338 using SirfDemo.

- In Action/ Transmit Serial Message select NMEA and send this message

'PSRF100,0,38400,8,1,0' without quotes. This will put the GPS in SIRF Mode.

- After that choose Action / Transmit Serial Message select SIRF this time and send '94' without quotes. This will put the GPS in boot Mode.

- Disconnect now SirfDemo using the button and start SirfFlash without powering down the GPS.

- Choose the correct port and 38400 Baud and - very important -select 'external boot mode'. Browse for the new firmware .bin file and select 'program flash'.

- Execute and enjoy.

Cheers!

I have now (finally!) successfully read the firmware from my two BT338 and a TomTom Mk2 BT mouse. Also important to notice is the following:

- Address Range is 0x0 to 0x7ffff (4 times an "f") resulting in a 512kB bin file.

- Any other speed than 38400 will NOT work!

Did not dare yet to flash actually... I have now:

TomTom Mk-II

GSW3.0.2TomTom1.1_3.0.00.03-C3P1.02b

BT338 (NaviLock labled in Germany)

GSW3.0.2_3.0.00.03-C16P1.02a

GSW3.1.1LowV_3.1.00.07-C23B1.00

I know there must be newer one for BT338 as you can see from the FAQ at Globalsat USA at: http://www.usglobalsat.com/gpsfacts/bt338_gps_facts.html

The mention even different versions there (QA 38):

BT-338_GSW3V3.1.1LowV_F-GPS-03-0506222 and

BT-338_GSW3.1.1TO_F-GPS-03-0510032

I noticed that reading out the SW sometimes delivers different results after 7d008 when some time has passed. I suspect that some data is stored there which may vary over time (satelite positions, routes or whatever may be stored depending on the time).

[General Accessories] tobbbie:
I can report success now in upgrading my BT338 from the old (3.0.2) FW to the later one (3.1.1) I have retrieved from my other BT338.

Main gain for me is the availability of geoid correction for the height.

Anynone has a later firmware for the BT338 or the TomTom MK2?

You can PM me if you don't want to post here.

GSW3.0.2TomTom1.1_3.0.00.03-C3P1.02b

Hi tobbie,

have you managed to get some new firmwares , I am searching if there is a new one for the tomtom ( there is still some issues between the treo and the tomtom related to the bluetooth stack ). Is there a way to use the BT-338 or a part of the BT-338 firmware in the tomtom ?

thanks

Laurent :)
[General Accessories] tobbbie:
look here: http://www.gpspassion.com/forumsen/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=27925&whichpage=11

please read all posts and follow the wohle story. My TomTom MkII currently runs the 3.2.2 of the latest BT338.
[General Accessories] lop1:
Thanks tobbie,

I have red the full thread, downloaded your dumps of the firmware, and dump my tomtom firmwarewith the sirf tools.

I have compared the dump from your tomtom and mine ( same version 302 ) and they are quite different beiginning in 6D008 :

your firmware :

6D008 : 06 3E 00 00 01 00 00 00 41 46 31 41 39 53 D8 19 ....

my dump :

6D008 : 20 C6 00 00 99 00 00 00 41 46 31 41 39 53 D8 19 ....

Is this part a variable part ( so may be a factory reset and a new dump will give a more comparable result ), or is there a real difference for two same version of the firmware ??

Can you tell me for upgrading the firmware of the tomtom have you used the full 3.11 firmware from 0 to 7FFFF or have you used a dump from 0 to 79999 ?

seeing the various problems some got after flashing their units I am a bit worried before flashing mine..

thanks

Laurent
[General Accessories] tobbbie:
Just do a system reset of your device and dump it again.

Depending how fast you are getting it into bootmode you have some data there (and not all default empty data). Doing the same after some time (e.g. after a fix was established) will again deliver different data there.

I think the main thing here is that the WHOLE data are dumped and then later flashed to another device. This may also be the rootcause of the failure to use the 0-79999 dump - where after 79999 data may confuse the device to get back online (very sad - it already cost 2 devices one BT338 and one TomTom MkII).

I have used my own dumps to crossupgrade from BT338 to TomTom and the 3.2.2 from antineutrino. After some back and forth I am on 3.2.2 again currently for all devices (living with the green-LED off until a fix).

BTW: I am quite sure that the bluetooth part is not touched by these updates.

The names of the devices as they are recognized on bluetooth are not changing after a FW update.
[General Accessories] lop1:
thanks tobbie ,

as I need this gps in the coming next weeks, I will not take the chance to do the upgrade just now. I will wait a quiter period of time to try it ( so if I brick it I will have time to make a replacement ).

thanks, I will come back for detailled instructions in some weeks.

[General Accessories] patek:
Hi Tobbbie,

I have a Globalsat BT 338, I would like to update the firmware. I downloaded your dumps from http://www.gpspassion.com/forumsen/t...5&whichpage=11, the 3.1.1 version.

Do I understand well that even exists a 3.2.2 version?

If yes where could I find it?

Thanks

patek
[General Accessories] tobbbie:
It's in the same forum a few post further down - it comes from another member there - just look it up.

Edit: just checked - it seems only the 3.2.4 of the BT368 is there.

I have edited my old post there with a new link that has all info - also for short here:

http://rapidshare.de/files/41287744/Firmware_Globalsat.zip.html

Please read the GPS passion forum entries very thoroughly - it MUST be complete dump that you insert - anything less than 512kB will kill your device (as a poor forum member there had to suuffer)..
[General Accessories] patek:
Tobbbie,

Thank you for your prompt answer,

I checked my software version, Sirfdemo says: GSW3.1.1LowV_3.1.00.07-c23B1.00 - the same what yours was before upgraded.

I read your opinion about changing to 3.2.2 :

>As mentioned earlier I have yet to discover advantages of 3.2.2 or 3.2.4 over 3.1.1. I >think some trickle power options are more flexible and the DGPS could work - but so far I >could never get a DGPS fix.

So do you think is it worth enough to upgrade? (green lamp!)

Is the WAAS enabled in the 3.2.2 ? (maybe silly question)

Thanks

hmm, i haven't used my trusty bt338 in quite some time, i might upgrade it just to see what happens.. :P

Hi

my phone is lock and i've forgot my mi account so i cant active the phone.

my phone is unroot and lockbootloader.

i tried to flash a new rom but it seems i need "Mi5 Engineering Flash Cable".

are there any solution i unlock my phone?
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers] Jongla:
You need the engineering flash cable to be able to flash a fastboot ROM with locked bootloader.There is no other options as far as I know.

And maybe mi lock will not be removed even if you flash a fastboot ROM as It has something to do with the IMEI of your phone.

What you can do here is flash a old fastboot ROM with flash cable,7.1.8.0 or like this and stay on it without updating.because those old MIUI ROMs do not check for mi lock in the setup screen.
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers] seven1367:
no way!!!

do you mean my phone will be lock forever and i cant unlock it?
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers] Jongla:
As far as I know?

Yes.

As your IMEI is never going to change by flashing any fastboot or any ROM,so the lock status will always be on.

You can use MIUI 7.1.8.0 or ROMs that old.these roms don't check for mi lock,then you can maybe try ota's without wiping the data?

I don't if it will work but worth a shot.
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers] seven1367:
but how can i flash MIUI 7.1.8.0??

there is no recovery mod on stock rom and bootloader is locked.

[Samsung Gear S3] tannoiser:
Hi everybody. I'm having a very annoying problem with my Gear S3 Fronteer: the alarm is not working.

Generally I set the alarm with vibration only. Randomly (but lately more often) the alarm starts just with the first vibration and than it stops. It seems to happen more often when I'm in bed and the face of the watch is in contact with bed/sheets. I tried to reset several times with no results. I also tried with different configurations: airplane mode active/not active, do not disturbe active/not active but nothing changes.

Any idea? I'm very disappointed: a smartwatch without the alarm function working properly is not so smart.....

Thanks

Alex
[Samsung Gear S3] rodalfa:
Yes, lots of people are suffering this issue, included me. I have tried to report it to Samsung, but the customer service is awful (they recommend to reset the device, and if it doesnt work, send it to repair...).

There are some theories: if the alarm app is open in background, it works, or it depends on the watchface (with original from Samsung seems to work all the time), with battery saver during night also seems to work,...

You can put more than 1 alarm, for example:

7:32

7:33

And see if one of them works.
[Samsung Gear S3] Tel864:
Are you using a watch face that came pre-installed? A lot of the watch faces that you can load are missing a couple of features that keep the watch from updating until you wake the watch. It's in the programming, because I discovered it on a couple of watch faces I built myself. I don't know what the alarm depends on but if it's the watch face, then it could be froze until you wake the watch. I may be off in left field so I'm just throwing this out there.
[Samsung Gear S3] rodalfa:
Yesterday morning, the alarm didnt worked again. When I woke up (late), I checked the alarm settings and everything was ok, the alarm was on at the same time like everyday. But it didnt went off at the alarm hour.

A workaround that works for me is adding two alarms with one minute difference.

for example

6:44

6:45

first one fails but second one works, it's not a perfect solution but...
[Samsung Gear S3] DJOKman:
Guys, it's for sure caused by watchface you are using, as [MENTION=4351553]Tel864[/MENTION] told before. E.g., I used SportSP70, it's in the top-list (at least in my country), and every alarm was nothing more but a one quick buzz, and that's it. Switched to Golfzon Watch Face - everything works brilliant, even when Alarm app isn't running in the background. With stock watchfaces everything is working fine as well.

Give it a try.
[Samsung Gear S3] guitareth:
I just came here to post about my own alarm issue and was concerned to see there's already a thread about this issue. I've had my S3 Frontier since December 15th and since I got it I have an alarm set to wake me at 8:00am Mon - Friday. The watch is always sitting in the charger unit on my bedside table when the alarm goes off. It's worked flawalessly until 2 days ago when I woke up, and clicked on the button to display the time, and saw it was 8:03 and the alarm had not gone off. I picked up the watch off the charger and suddenly the watch alarm went once and then stopped. I see the comments about certain watch faces can mess up the alarm operation, but I've been using the same "Minimal" watch face for many weeks now and this is only time the alarm has failed. It's a bit unsettling though as I don't feel I can trust the alrm to go off anymore :(

It seems they have fixed it in latest update of the firmware.

Hello all. First off, awesome watch! Mine is also Tizen version 2.3.2.1 and my software version is R760XXU1APK7 purchased in New York on Feb 18, (all stock, no custom ROM except for a custom watch face called gk58_schwarz). I haven't experienced this issue because I don't exactly use the alarm initiated on the Gear S3. I set my alarms using my Galaxy Note 2 (yes, my beloved workhorse of a phone, the Note 2 running DN4) and it sounds both on my Note 2 and my Gear S3. I can cancel or snooze using my Gear S3 and both devices will turn off.

Just for kicks, I set a vibrating alarm 1 minute from now on my Gear S3. It worked. I set it again 3 minutes from now on the Digital Beep sound. It worked. I let it go on for about 10 seconds until I hit the X.

It's stays all over time unchanged.

I tried restart the phone,after that reset the watch and from beginning on pair with my phone nothing at all.

I even tried the previous version manually that installed but no results.

It's really really weird issue.

Android Wear app is working fine also watch as standalone perfect,getting notification,making phone,music control management all working great.

But I can't made Zenwatch manager works as it should just like all previous days from the beginning had the watch end of November 2016.

This is the solution for the "Loading" screen.
[Asus ZenWatch 3] Misterjunky:
re: zenwatch manager

Here is the solution:

First install the latest version of zenwatch

from the play store.

1: uninstall the latest zenwatch manager

2: re-install zenwatch manager but don't open it yet.

3: un-pair your zenwatch 3

4: when it's 100% done pairing and syncing and your watch is 100$ ready to use

then open zenwatch manager and it will almost instantly say "connected" without

you having to do anything at all.

The above solution worked for me.....

Good luck, have a great day!

Do you get the zw manager has stopped as well? then the loading thing -> REFRESH? [EDIT] just to be clear on the zw3 itself and NOT on the phone... [/EDIT]
