Deadlock upgrading UZB1

Post by th3n3k »

Hi all,
This is my first message on this forum so I would like to introduce myself briefly: Several years ago I bought a UZB1 dongle and I've been using it without any firmware upgrade (it came up with the 5.02 one) but, facing some issues in my network probably related with SW (*) more than with the dongle itself I recently tried to upgrade the firmware.
(*) In these years I've been using DomoticZ, Jeedom, OpenHAB and Home Assistant (with default ZWave integration, MQTT+ZWave2MQTT and MQTT+OpenZWave).

So here I am. I thought I was able to understand the firmware tree with its bootloades and stuff but I've ended in a deadlock and I'm not able to move to any direction :-(
Current version:
APIVersion: 05.23 (12:28)
APIVersionMajor: 5 (12:28)
APIVersionMinor: 23 (12:28)
manufacturerId: 277 (12:28)
vendor: Z-Wave.Me (12:28)
bootloaderCRC: 29304 (12:28)
firmwareCRC: 52559 (12:28)
Only KR and JP frequencies available!! I'm in Europe!! I had EU freqs before, no idea how I reached this point :-(

In the Expert GUI I see "Update bootloader for 5.23 to 40196" option but it fails.

I've tried also through SSH:

Code: Select all

wget https://service.z-wave.me/expertui/uzb/UPD_bootloader_UZB500_from__05_17_to_9D04.bin
./ZMESerialUpdater serialapi_uzbupdate -d /dev/ttyACM0 -b UPD_bootloader_UZB500_from__05_17_to_9D04.bin
Process ends with no issues but from the output it seems to me the CRC isn't the expected on. And also the JP freq:

Code: Select all

          SERIAL INFO
                 VERSION:  05 17  VENDOR:  01 15

          FIRMWARE CRC
                    BOOT:  72 78      FW:  CD 4F
          MISC
                    FREQ:  JP
My thinking at that point: OK, just let's forget the bootloader upgrade and let's try to upgrade the firmware to be able to choose EU freqs again somehow. I don't understand which is the difference between the plan 5.23 firmware and the "2 channels 5.23 firmware for EU/US..." but it worth to try at least to can set the frequency to EU. But, although the GUI doesn't complain and rhe process finish, it does nothing: I can't choose EU freqs.

I tried to upload the firmware through CLI but I'm not sure what .bin select because it sounds like some typo in the information shown in the firmware tree, isn't it?

Please, could you help me here? I just wanted to move from the original 5.2 FW to a more recent one (those with radio jam detection at least) and it seems now I'm stuck on a 5.23 (on GUI; 5.17 according CLI which is a little bit weird) with JP frequencies and I'm not able to go back nor to go forward.

Really appreciate any help or idea :-)

Please enter token "all" and use "Update bootloader for 5.23 to 40196", then "Update from 5.23 to 5.27 firmware for EU/US/RU/IN/CN/ANZ/BR"

And go to Controller Info -> Debug. Then all frequencies will be listed.

Thank you very much PoltoS for your support.
Unfortunately, I'm not able to achive what you suggest :-(
- Update bootloader ("Update bootloader for 5.23 to 40196") through GUI gives an error:

I'm on a RPi with the latest razberry.img.zip on it

Taking a look at "/var/log/z-way-server.log" when popup appears it shows a message about wrong checksum:

Code: Select all

- Doing the same by CLI works but the final CRC seems not to be the desired one (9D04 if I understand it properly):

Code: Select all

What am I doing wrong here? Why bootloader upgrade doesn't work on GUI (I've read some threads saying to try the CLI but I've already done with no success apparently).

Thank you in advance

Thank you PoltoS and sorry for the question but, how can I do that?
I downloaded yesterday the https://razberry.z-wave.me/z-way-server ... ry.img.zip image and I thought it was already the 3.1.1.
Now you've said that, I've seen into the GUI it is 3.0.1 + 1.10.1 so I thought maybe running a "apt-get update && apt-get upgrade" could do the trick but it doesn't:

Code: Select all

W: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead.
Which should be the right approach for its update?

Thank you in advance

Thank you!
It has been updated to 3.1.1 (RPi has been restarted after that):

Edited (yesterday no upgrade options appear in the GUI but today they appear again). Unfortunately the upgrade didn't do the trick because same error appear:

Any further idea of what can I do or what could be happening?

Re: Deadlock upgrading UZB1

Post by th3n3k »

I've been doing more research on this.
It seems the issue I've dealing off is exactly the same it was discussed one/two years ago at https://forum.z-wave.me/viewtopic.php?f=3419&t=26429
But it hasn't a solution :-(

The bootloader CRC shown at https://forum.z-wave.me/viewtopic.php?p=79816#p79816 is exactly the same I have.
So I've tried the "sudo chmod 666 /dev/ttyACM0" suggested command with no success.
Other user commented he could do the upgrade with the CLI tool but I'm not having such luck: process ends OK but the final CRC isn't the expected and new firmware won't be installed either.

Now I have bootloader CRC = 29304 = 7278 so I know what I must perform is (https://forum.z-wave.me/viewtopic.php?p=86933#p86933)
1) upgrade bootloader to 40196: UPD_bootloader_UZB500_from__05_17_to_9D04.bin
2) upgrade firmware to 5.27: UPD_FIRMWARE_UZB_STATIC_2ch_ZME_05_17_04000001_ZME_05_1b_04000001.bin
3) upgrade firmware to 5.36: UPD_FIRMWARE_UZB_STATIC_2ch_ZME_05_1b_04000001_ZME_05_24_04000001.bin

But step 1 isn't working at all (RPi + latest zway server 3.1.1 as suggested by PoltoS) due to the "Wrong checksum" error.
How you guys solved this at the end?

UPDATE 1: Tested on Ubuntu on x86 platform. As root to avoid /dev/ttyACM0 to be sure there won't be any permission issue. No improvements at all.
Since CLI everything seems to be ok too but the real thing is nothing is upgraded: Boot CRC remains the same (not the 9D04) and FW version remains too unchanged.

Code: Select all

root@ubuntu:/home/ubuntu/ZMESerialUpdater/x64# ./ZMESerialUpdater serialapi_uzbupdate -d /dev/ttyACM0 -b UPD_bootloader_UZB500_from__05_17_to_9D04.bin -f UPD_FIRMWARE_UZB_STATIC_2ch_ZME_05_17_04000001_ZME_05_1b_04000001.bin
