Send via help desk. Write that file in the eeprom starting from address 0x77ff (30718). Then put it back to RaZberry and power on it. Should work, but not 100% sure.

again, there are no bootloader in the EEPROM. Anyway, you have already erased the EEPROM, so don't worry to erase it again ;)

There should be a seek option in your programmer

Any. Bootloader will check only for what is at 0x77ff and after.

Congrats! I was really fearing you will have to send it to our lab. Cool!

The UZB is for USB dongle called Z-Wave.Me UZB. But this one require removing 0x1800 bytes, prepending 0x01 and adding 0x77ff of zeroes before.

Can you please help this person with your own instructions? https://forum.z-wave.me/viewtopic.php?f ... 484#p66484

This file has 0x1800 zeroes before the f/w. So to make the correct file one need to:
1. Remove first 0x1800 bytes
2. Prepend one byte 0x01
3. Prepend 0x77ff bytes with 0x00

Means the file is:
00 00 00 00 .... 6144 bytes with zeros in total 00 00 XX XX XX ... more data ... XX XX XX
And should become:
00 00 00 00 .... 30719 bytes with zeros in total 00 00 01 XX XX XX ... more data ... XX XX XX

It is even not yet released by Sigma ;) But if you upgrade bootloader and then the f/w, it will work. Better to wait for a release (around Feb)

IMHO, yes! About twice better

It was not working at all. Because you forgot to upgrade bootloader first. It will if you don't forget

If you don't need it, forget about it. I think you don;t need it, right?
