I have a Conbee WII that has been working nice for many years, but now I need to update to use a new thermostat. And then the problem has started…
My deConz is version 2.24.1. I have tried to update to a newer version, but it is stuck at this version after innstallation. I think this might be because the conbee is not updated?
The conbee is version 26650700. I have tried many versions of GCFFlasher, and tried to update to many different versions, but they all end in different crashes.
One version does nothing. Another one fail after about a minute. And another one says “retry connect bootloader com5”
Any good ideas, or will I have to give up using the new thermostatW?
I tried all the trick that was mentioned.
Changing USB port didn’t help, and using parameter -x 3 gave no result either. They gave the same result; Flash firmware command reset timeout retry connect bootloader com5
When trying to use the serial-number, I got the result that there was an invalid argument for parameter -s.
I tried several versions of the flasher, with the same result.
I am trying to flash deCONZ_ConBeeII_0x26780700.bin.GCF, which is the most recent version I have found.
I have also borroved another conbee II, but the problem is the same.
I have also found am old computer with windows 10, and installed deconz V2.30.02
I have tried flashing from this computer, but the result is the same.
If I use older versions of GCFFlasher there is no response from the flasher.
If I use v3.17 I get the message “retry,failed”
If I use newer versions of the flasher I get “retry connect bootloader com5”
I guess I am doing something wrong, since I have tried 2 computers, 2 sticks, and very many versions of flashers and software… The question is what!
I remember flashing the stick a few years ago without any problems.
GCFFlasher.exe -d <Your COM Port> -f deCONZ_ConBeeII_0x26780700.bin.GCF -x 3
Another idea is to download the firmware GCF file again, we had cases in the past where the file wasn’t downloaded completely or corrupt for some reason.
Hmm I don’t get it I’ve tried also to re create the setup and flashed my ConBee II with 0x26650700 and then upgraded again to 0x26780700 here it works.
Important: Your command uses lower case com5, it should be COM5.
Just to be sure that the file is not corrupt can you execute following command in Power Shell in the directory where the firmware is:
