obrien.david.j Posted November 16, 2020 Share Posted November 16, 2020 (edited) Has anyone else had this problem, and more importantly - found a solution? Spent multiple hours today trying to downgrade the firmware on a new MP60 so I can connect it to my WXM/Apex system. Punch line, Failed. Followed instructions on echotech site&video. Used Mobius to downgrade firmware, failed. But no longer visible on Mobius. Couldn't find it with Echo Smart Live, couldn't find it with Apex WXM. Re-Upgraded back to latest firmware with Mobius, by upgrading a legacy device. Failed to downgrade, re-upgraded, failed to downgrade, re-upgraded. Tried power cycling between steps. Tried factor resetting between steps. ... It was a long afternoon. Unless someone has another idea to try, it's a ticket to Echotech for me. And I've got another new MP60 arriving tomorrow. Think I'll wait and submit a ticket for both. Any Ideas? https://support.ecotechmarine.com/hc/en-us/articles/360049485273-Mobius-Firmware-Rollback-to-ESL-WXM Failed downgrading MP60 before downgrading, and After Re-Updating to latest firmware.

SuncrestReef Posted November 16, 2020 Share Posted November 16, 2020 Wow, no idea. I have sent that same video link to several people on R2R, Neptune Forums, and Facebook. It normally solves the WXM connection problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Downgrade fails so both WXM and ESL don't see it. I'll see how the next unit behaves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
obrien.david.j Posted November 17, 2020 Author Share Posted November 17, 2020 Downgrading solved. After much googling, I found a nugget. (don't ask which article hinted at this - I've lost it) Nugget: Upgrade/downgrade firmware process may be sensitive to Other radio masters (reeflink base unit and WXM module) After unplugging both - SUCCESS. Twice, just to be sure. Definition of downgrade success is being able to see in reeflink / EcoSmartLive. Details pasted below. Now the catch... Something is still sensitive here. After clearing memory (per first step of WXM instructions, Set+Mode -> Mode -> Set), I could no longer find in reeflink. Thus another round of Upgrading Firmware -> Re-Downgrading firmware. But that process is now solved. Connecting to WXM is always a little sensitive. Can't exactly tell what magic/moment/attempt gets it to show up. but it did. In the end, I unplugged Reeflink, just in case it's interfering with this as well. (WXM -> "Attach" ...) This is the 9th vortech attached to this WXM. One more to go.
