Just received mine—shipped a month ago with firmware version 2.0.2.

Updated successfully without any issues using the instructions here: Discord Link.

The only inconvenience was the lack of direct links in the app to copy and paste onto a laptop, which forced me to check Discord for details.

I’ve submitted a feature request to improve this UX: #1808

[kodjima33]

@skywinder wow your github looks amazing! Can you help with this by any chance? This is such a big pain

@kodjima33
Thanks! I’ve been an open-source enthusiast and builder since 2010, and I'm excited to dive into this project. :)

Regarding the issue, I'm currently exploring the codebase, and I just got my Omi DK2 yesterday, which I’m really looking forward to experimenting with!

Let’s keep an eye on the situation since two others have committed to resolving this. If we don’t see any progress by next week, I’ll step in and do my best to tackle it!

More context:

The current pain is that the OTA update does not work if the user plugs their device into a USB cable(either to a charger or a computer).

Without USB cable, everything works well.

My comment on the previous investigation: https://github.com/BasedHardware/omi/issues/1682#issuecomment-2594116010

yes sir, actually the brick mean *the device can not boot after performing the ota updates.

i also try with/without the usb connected. the result is: without the usb connected, the ota updates work fine. the device can boot with any versions, e.g. ota updates from 2.0.2 to 2.0.8 or 2.0.4 to 2.0.7 and so on.

so i guess there're something confusing the bootloader's state between the ota updates and serial updates when the usb is connected.

ofc we can also try disabling all usb interrupts while performing the ota updates. but i dont think it's a smart move.

i'm a nerd, as you know, i love deep-diving into issues. but the time is not super generous right now haha.

anw, i'm super happy when you're here and diving into this with me. looking fwd sir.

next:

• [x] display a new popup at the home page to inform users about new firmware version, a more aggressive way to encourage firmware updates.
• [x] add a new checkbox such as, I have disconnected the USB, i understand that a USB connection might brick my device.
