What is the exact connection layout you guys are using to reflash the es4, I can't seem to get past the 'flashed the mb with the full ble, that only seems to brick it as the screen doesn't display anything. Yet I can still reflash the thing, even with custom firmware from the creator site. I can't seem to get

Hi guys

I followed the guide posted in the beginning and did flashing part. Worked everything right from the start. Now I wanted to flash a CFW and downloaded the ninebot flasher for windows. If i scan I can see the scooter but I can't connect. If I open the segway ninebot app I can connect to the scooter but there appears an unknown error.

Does anyone have a idea what the problem might be? At the moment I have no access to an andorid phone so I can only try it with the ninebot flasher on my laptop.

This problem appears with both dashboards. One from amazone and the original one. I haven't done any changes to other parts (BMS and so on).

Thanks a lot in advance for your help.

I have a copy dashboard from aliexpress. (BLE 1.00). My first flash failed due some memory issues, I add "set WORKAREASIZE 0" after the next flash the dashboard was KO.

After flashing with a mass_erase the dashboard works fine but It's impossible to change the name of BLE.

Any ideas ?

to flash a clone dashboard add these steps

Open Telnet using this command in this new window: telnet 127.0.0.1 4444
type

init
reset halt
nrf51 mass_erase

Now it’s time for the flashing part, copy the dashboard firmware file (full_BLE.bin) to the OpenOCD folder (at the root, not bin or any other folder)
run this command: program full_BLE.bin
Done! Now it should be using original Ninebot firmware.
The dash has now been converted successfully to a real OEM dash!
Thank you Brix, it worked for my bricked dash from Ali!

hi Vince

Thanks for you answer. Can you explain me more what kind of upgrade you did with the phone? Why do the two batterys have different versions?

First of all: great guide!

HW:
- RPi 3 B+
- OEM Dashboard with nrf51802
Wiring:
- GPIO 24 <-> SDW_IO
- GPIO 25 <-> SDW_CLK
- 3.3V and Ground-Rail <-> 3.3V ...
SW:
- OpenOCD
- full_BLE.bin

I did follow your guide and the second one on this forum (Flashing using RPi), but always run into the following error message when trying to flash it:

Code: Select all

> program full_BLE.bin target halted due to debug-request, current mode: Thread xPSR: 0xc1000000 pc: 0x000006d0 msp: 0x000007c0 ** Programming Started ** SWD DPIDR 0x0bb11477 Failed to read memory at 0x4001e400 Couldn't read NVMC_READY register Failed to erase reg: 0x4001e508 val: 0x0002b000 failed erasing sectors 0 to 255 embedded:startup.tcl:449: Error: ** Programming Failed ** in procedure 'program' in procedure 'program_error' called at file "embedded:startup.tcl", line 508 at file "embedded:startup.tcl", line 449
I even tried to convert the full_BLE.bin (Binary) to a Hex-Version. This just gave me the same error, although the "Failed to read memory at..."-Number was higher. The wiring is 100% correct and was checked with a multimeter. I also ran the Erase-commands for cloned Dashboards and checked the Status.

Code: Select all

I'm dying to solve this problem and would appreciate any help from you guys.

I tried a RPi 1 instead of 3 and it worked!
