ubertooth not working #333

Closed studysession closed 5 years ago

studysession commented 5 years ago

Would appreciate any help I can get.

I ran ubertooth-btle and it said I needed a newer firmware version. I downloaded the latested and flashed the ubertooth and now it just has 1 green light on. It had more lights on before the flash. Now no program can see it. I now get "could not open Ubertooth device"

I have never used it - right out of the package and now lost on what to do.

Steps to reproduce

I do not have steps to reproduce

Expected behavior

If I type the "ubertooth-util -v" I should get information about my device

Actual behavior

Instead I get "could not open Ubertooth device"

Version information

Most recent version of Ubuntu on a Dell laptop Also tried it on Ubuntu Mate on a Raspberry Pi Same result on both systems

What platform is this? Windows? Linux? Does the behavior persist if you unplug/replug the device?

studysession commented 5 years ago

Sorry guess I put platform in wrong area as version info - new to the sight so thought version info was my OS

Ubuntu (most recent everything) on my Dell laptop Ubuntu Mate on my Raspberry Pi 3B (not the plus)

Same error on both "could not open Ubertooth device"

Yes replugging in and out the device it just stays with the one light green and get the "could not open Ubertooth device" for any command I type.

Thank you

Ah I missed that. Can you post the output of lsusb both before and after you plug the device in? What exact command did you use to flash?

studysession commented 5 years ago

I copied the command off the github website ubertooth-dfu -d bluetooth_rxtx.dfu -r

I downloaded and compiled it successfully and then did the command

BEFORE plugged in: pi@pi-desktop:~$ lsusb Bus 001 Device 007: ID 1a40:0101 Terminus Technology Inc. Hub Bus 001 Device 005: ID 1a40:0101 Terminus Technology Inc. Hub Bus 001 Device 003: ID 0424:ec00 Standard Microsystems Corp. SMSC9512/9514 Fast Ethernet Adapter Bus 001 Device 002: ID 0424:9514 Standard Microsystems Corp. SMC9514 Hub Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub

AFTER PLUGGED in and no change: Bus 001 Device 007: ID 1a40:0101 Terminus Technology Inc. Hub Bus 001 Device 005: ID 1a40:0101 Terminus Technology Inc. Hub Bus 001 Device 003: ID 0424:ec00 Standard Microsystems Corp. SMSC9512/9514 Fast Ethernet Adapter Bus 001 Device 002: ID 0424:9514 Standard Microsystems Corp.
