Dean White Posted February 1 Report Posted February 1 Hi there, I fear I have a bricked 1s. I connected my 1s to may MacBook pro in order to update a command (mute). Synced OK as far as I could tell. After that the 1s sends no commands to any devices: I just get a red ring on the control pad. I completely deleted the device and tried to start from scratch: same result. None of the devices are receiving any commands when I test from the remote OR when I test from within the app (using the "test device" function within the wizard: Devices "Edit Activity"). The red ring concerns me as it reminds me of the Red Ring Of Death from xbox days. Is there a "Master Reset" option anywhere? It seems the 1S is not sending any commands of any type. Thank you Dean W Quote
clcorbin Posted February 8 Report Posted February 8 I think we are in the same boat. I upgraded mine today (from 4.12.19) with a forced update as it wouldn't update on it's own, due to this thing sucking batteries dead VERY quickly. The procedure to force a firmware update worked, it said said all was well and everything was synced. I disconnected the remote and TRIED to turn off my TV. Fail. Push "A", then try to turn off remote. Fail. Try every single button. Fail to do ANYTHING. So, reconnect remote and force it to sync again (Why does it only let me sync if it THINKS things are out of date???). Still nothing. I'm starting to think it is time to toss this in the trash and find something that actually works. This thing has more bugs than Windows 11.0.0.0.0.0.0 Quote

I received an initial response via email asking for current firmware details and circumstances leading up to the problem. I supplied those on 3 February: have heard nothing since, which indicates there may not be a straightforward solution. I have a second Skip1s in another room that is working OK, but then I haven’t updated it for a long time. Think I’ll be leaving that one alone for the time being as I don’t trust the latest firmware. I see a sofabaton in my immediate future….. Quote
Ace0 Posted 5 hours ago Report Posted 5 hours ago @jason can we get two things? a) A pinned changelog thread. No one has time to read the entire forum to stay abreast of everything. Personally, I'd like to know when firmware key repeats actually work (the app already claims this functionality) b) A (pinned or easily discoverable) page that lists how to force firmware updates. I'd like some confidence that if I flash bad firmware, there's a way to recover without ending up with an actual bricked device. I realize it's challenging with limited resources but I think these would be minbar for customers to comfortably update and collaboratively iterate on versions without risk or too much of their own time investment.
