_clear_logo.hex not working (Win10) #1173

Closed discip closed 2 years ago

discip commented 2 years ago

Describe the bug Not able to flash _clear_logo.hex

resulting in .ERR

Details of your device: device firmware
TS80P build https://github.com/Ralim/IronOS/commit/5058e18138635b87978e24db58bf4c58c60e0a15
PC Win10

Additional context Tried flashing it several times. Flashing the firmware.hex works as intended though!

You have not downloaded the python code correctly, from that error I suspect you have saved the github webpage preview not the file itself. Need to hit the raw button to get to this page https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Ralim/IronOS/master/Bootup%20Logo/python_logo_converter/img2ts100.py

Then save and run that code

discip commented 2 years ago

Ok! I see!🤦‍♂️ Will give that a shot and report back.

discip commented 2 years ago

That indeed worked, but I am not able to remove the logo again using _clear_logo.hex.

ps: I thought the custom logo would replace the quick flashing miniware logo, but that did not happen. Is that not replaceable?

Ralim commented 2 years ago

Did you do the double copy trick for the hex file?

discip commented 2 years ago

Yes! I did.

That is part of their bootloader, so cant remove it without removing their bootloader.

Ok. I see. So someone should rewrite the bootloader to solve this right? 😁

Ralim commented 2 years ago

So you can flash the DFU bootloader instead, which fixes this, but also removes the usb-drive functionality entirely and you have to use dfu-util to flash instead.

Thats about all you can do to remove their logo for now. I have not undertaken writing a "new" bootloader that does the usb stuff. I have been thinking about writing a usb-dfu one that I maintain for these units. But low priority project for now.

Just dont have enough time to build all the things... :/

discip commented 2 years ago

No problem! 👍 I am good with that. If there will be one day a usb-dfu one, I will be happy, but until then, I will just stick to the current situation. 😊

Could it be that _clear_logo.hex does not work due to my iron using DFU3.50 instead DFU3.45?

Is there a way to go back to the miniware bootloader after that?

discip commented 2 years ago

Am I the only one to not get this to work?

Could someone please check, if _clear_logo.hex is working?

thanks in advance

discip commented 2 years ago

Anyone? 🥺

Ralim commented 2 years ago

Planning to test next time I boot windows..it's been a bit

L1cardo commented 2 years ago

Same here, I can not remove the custom boot logo either

Ralim commented 2 years ago

If you are on Pinecil or a dfu bootloader you can just erase the flash easily. Otherwise could you give this a test: erase_test.zip

I am using TS80P, and this one works!
