UZG-01 unable to flash router firmware

[habitats-tech]

I have several UZG-01 and I am unable to flash Zigbee firmware using the UI and Ethernet communication. Flashing the coordinator firmware is not an issue using ZigStarGW-MT. However, trying to flash router firmware seems to corrupt the device. Take the example below:

Trying to flash router firmware using the UI the update hangs on 66%.

Which leaves UZG-01 with corrupt firmware.

Using ZigStarGW-MT also corrupts the firmware.

The result is again corrupt firmware.

Does anyone have a solution to this problem.

I have attempted to erase NVRAM, but issue persists. Although it states cannot communicate over the serial port it can still be flashed using the ZigStarGW-MT flasher.

Try the following:

1. reboot the coordinator
2. disconnect all connections (socket and mqtt)
3. retry flashing

All my actions were performed on a device which had no connections to anything except Ethernet.

Im trying to flash a previous Z-Stack_3.x.0_coordinator fimware because the latest one is causing all sorts of iossues Im using the new interface, and it says it flashed and reboots, but it still says 20240710 when i chose 20240316

You are talking about esp firmware.

[SAOPP]

Zigbee firmware is located on the status page under the heading called Zigbee.

[SAOPP]

an older version of Z2M

Btw, wtf this mean ❓

[cloudbr34k84]

just realised this is a router issue post. ill delete and add a new issues

Just share ya full screenshot of status page.

Does the firmware process complete correctly?

So u tried to flash 20240316 - it's correct?

yep

Have u tried opening the coordinator's web interface in incognito mode or from another browser?

Try a couple of simple steps, clear the cache of the current page (you never know), try again, reboot the coordinator and immediately start the firmware process again.

Ok opened web UI in incognito
cleared cache
restarted device
immediately tried OTA firmware update: to 20240316
Im now getting "No response; check if IP or USB mode changed."
Serial settings: says Network Mode

Did the process complete automatically or did you click the page refresh button?

i let it complete

[SAOPP]

Looks like HG devices overdeep, @mercenaruss @xyzroe any comments?

[xyzroe]

I have no ideas. Maybe someone else could check the same situation?

[SAOPP]

i let it complete

As one of the options, I can suggest using the web installer, and flashing the device again, and then try flashing the zigbee chip again...

one step ahead of yeah, the only issue is the older UI doenst show when the update is done?

[cloudbr34k84]

well i was finally able to to use the multi tool to install the previous FW.

[habitats-tech]

The only reliable way to flash coordinator firmware is using the ZigStarGW-MT tool.

Can anyone point me to the most recent router firmware release for UZG-01 to try flash it using the ZigStarGW-MT tool.

Using the webUI is a waste of time as it does not work.

Then why is it there..

[habitats-tech]

I have no idea why it works for some people. For me it has never worked, unlike SLZB which works flawlessly every time.

I am not here to debate why not. I am here to resolve an issue.

Can ANYONE point me to the latest router firmware for UZG-01 (it has to be router firmware not coordinator firmware).

[habitats-tech]

For anyone reading this. Whenever you flash Zigbee firmware, you should always reboot the device (not just Zigbee) to get the most current status of the device. It works every time.

[habitats-tech]

So I think I know what the issues updating FW through the webUI are.

My primary network sits behind upstream and downstream proxies and other security features. When I try to update the UZG-01 FW on this network it always fails while SLZB devices have no such issues.

Setting up an open network so far have been able to update UZG-01 FW successfully through the webUI.

[cloudbr34k84]

So I was successful on updating the firmware as well via the UI, but I was on apple MacBook running chrome.. I don't have any proxies so who knows
