Cannot install firmware deCONZ_RaspBeeII_0x26720700.bin.GCF

I just tried to install latest firware because I was not able to connect (first time ever) to gateway RASPBEE2. But I got following error.
Please note that I requested to download deCONZ_RaspBeeII_0x26720700.bin.GCF but I got back deCONZ_RaspBeeII_0x26720700.bin.GCF.2

deCONZ never worked before: I’m not able to see the gateway via web app. Setting → Gateway → Advanced → Auth App…
Moreover I tried to discover my first sensor ( Aquara WSDCGQ11LM) but nothing is discovered.

What is the current setup? Is there a ssd involved? Can you provide some logs?

Hello Mimiix, I solved the problem (I hope). I did 2 actions:

  1. I flashed for the 3rd time the Raspbee2 ( I got again the error “retry failed”) , then I powered off and on the Raspberry PI4.
  2. In the meantime I decided to move the Raspberry PI4 ( with the Raspbee2 inside and the external boot USB disk attached to USB2 ) in another physical locations. In fact it was toghether with other devices below my SmartTV with other devices with their power supplies: I suspected too many magnectic waves masking the Raspbee2 antenna.

Then I started Phoscon App and I was able to see the Gateway and I was able to pair the sensors I wanted to monitor.

I din’t try to re-flash the Raspbee2… at the moment I would not.
Let me stabilize the configuraztion, then I will think to go deeper with the firmware error. (However it seems it is not a real error, even if the process doesn’t seem to be stable and perfectly tested).

I wish thank you for your kind attention and support.
Giuseppe.

Hello! I have the same problem, i.e. the flash ends with an error message.

Info about my system/kernel in use (a RaspBerry Pi 2 with RaspBee II module):

pi@phoscon:~ $ uname -a
Linux phoscon 5.10.17-v7+ #1421 SMP Thu May 27 13:59:01 BST 2021 armv7l GNU/Linux

Thus, I want to see the device path:

pi@phoscon:~ $ GCFFlasher_internal -l
GCFFlasher V3_17 (c) dresden elektronik ingenieurtechnik gmbh
Path             | Vendor | Product | Serial     | Type
-----------------+--------+---------+------------+-------
/dev/ttyAMA0     | 0x0000 | 0x0000  |            | RaspBee

(BTW, why are vendor and product IDs null?)

And this, to my understanding, is the correct flash command (with correct device path), but it fails:

pi@phoscon:~ $ sudo GCFFlasher_internal -d /dev/ttyAMA0 -t 120 -R 3 -f deCONZ_RaspBeeII_0x26720700.bin.GCF

What am I missing? Thanks for your help!

PS @Mimiix
I posted the (almost) same there:

I completed flashed my Raspberry Pi 2 with the latest stable build as a workaround.
