Sonoff S31 Factory Firmware OTA? #139

Closed meingraham closed 6 years ago

meingraham commented 6 years ago

My sense is that the S31 firmware is different that then Sonoff Basic firmware and thus there is no correlation to the 1.6 version I have on the Basics I purchased directly from ITead in the same order.

I know that as of 1.6, ITead removed the ability to OTA update (although I've seen recent online noise that 2.0.4 may allow OTA again).

I can't quite seem to find a definitive answer for is whether I can OTA update an S31 with ITead 1.0.0 firmware. I found a few posts on several forums where it stated that SonOTA would not enter the final stage. But there was no confirmation that indeed it is not possible.

I'm just trying to get confirmation before I crack my units open that the only means to flash these devices is to upload new firmware via the serial interface.

Can anybody confirm?

Thanks.

Mike

Anything that I have received confirmation of, I try to always put on the wiki. My suggestion would be to try one, and see how it goes - worst case you have to crack it open to flash it anyway, best case it works :)

If it does work, if you can please update the wiki that would be great.

Cheers.

PS: Looking at #138 , it does not look like it will work unfortunately :(

I probably will skip straight to serial flashing. No need to install/configure/test SonOTA just to get frustrated and have to resort to my tried & true method. Every device I've purchased I have not had the OTA option (v1.6 firmware). Or, I'll wait it out and let my S31s update to an ITead firmware that brings OTA back ;-)

138 was for a POW specifically... but it does appear, not surprisingly, that it behaves as does the S31.

Cheers.
