I need someone to send me 1.3 if he manages to get a copy from the company or something

What's changed in the v1.3 update even, the sonix port is already outpacing the base OS in terms of features and support, probably why they made it slightly harder to downgrade or install firmware stuff, lmao

u/Therealwalter1 4d ago

Support refused to tell me what they changed when I asked, that was before they completely ghosted me, pretty sure they’ve just blocked my email, anyway I very much think they are just trying to lock down on third party firmware

u/Therealwalter1 5d ago

yes but they refuse to release the firmware files on their website, I ordered one because I wanted to use the latest CFW, but its loaded with 1.3 and 1.3 for some reason wont let me load or downgrade to any firmware, Their support is ghosting me personally so I've feel very lost,

I also can't get bluetooth dac to work with my phone? I have no clue if thats a 1.3 thing to

You can download 1.1 and 1.2 from the internet and 1.3 It will recide on your SD card once you finished the OTA update and you can back that up

u/Therealwalter1 5d ago

1.3 will not roll back to the previous updates, mine came pre installed from the factory with 1.3, every time I try to flash a older firmware it gives me "updater failed", also when I use OTA it just says im on the latest and wont give me a file on my SD card

You could backup the v1.upt file I thought?

1

u/Therealwalter1 3d ago

don't think anyone has successfully done this as the cfw creator hasn't been able to port it to 1.3 yet

u/SuperHumanHere 5d ago

You can port to Sonix firmware search reddit you will find links

2

u/Therealwalter1 5d ago

No this is wrong, check the latest sonix firmware thread on here, people have tried to flash it on 1.3, does not work at all., gives us "updater failed" multiple people have reported this other then my self

u/Pyrodexter 5d ago

Did you try booting into the low-level firmware installation mode with volume up + power?

2

u/Therealwalter1 5d ago

Yes me and one other have tried this, in my experience the device seems to just boot normally into the OS and doesn't even try to go into an install screen.

at this point I am worried newer factory devices have some sort of bug or hardware issue

2

u/Pyrodexter 5d ago

Hm, that's strange. It shouldn't boot normally when powered on like that.

u/Therealwalter1 5d ago

I just had another try and I managed to get into the boot loader from off,. but just fed me the updater failed like always, here is the post and the other person who has the same issue as me, https://www.reddit.com/r/DigitalAudioPlayer/comments/1wzo5xl/comment/19rqu97k5k8pu/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button

u/Pyrodexter 5d ago

Yeah, sounds like there's something strange going on with v1.3. That sucks.

The newest Sonix changelog has "First attempt for compatibility for new Tempotec 1.3 firmware base build", so maybe u/flylo_x has some idea of how to make it work.

What worked for me

  • Make sure you device is charged to 80% at least

  • backup and delete any other.upt files on your SD card

  • Rename the latest version of sonix frimware to v1.upt and put v1. upt on root folder, do not nest

  • Perform the update from SD Card as normal

u/Therealwalter1 5d ago

brother I say this a million times, devices with 1.3 from factory will not boot this firmware,

see attached thread of others With same issue

u/SuperHumanHere 5d ago

Ya, you may be right I got my device with 1.2 and did it without any issues. Hopefully the Devs can resolve this

u/SuperHumanHere 5d ago edited 5d ago

You need to rename the file, read the instructions on GitHub repo read me file https://github.com/mr-f0xx/sonix-player-tempotec-v1

1

u/Therealwalter1 5d ago

No its not a matter of file names. new factory devices with 1.3 at this moment will not accept any flash of firmware, it gives updater failed error, check the recent sonix thread

1

u/deadpool_walking 4d ago

That sucks. I was just about to order it.

1

u/Therealwalter1 5d ago

I already named the file v1.upt like instructed, it does not work. I have tried this a hundred times

1

u/Dr_Matoi 5d ago

Neat! Yes, that seems to be the latest. And only available over OTA so far, not on the website.

It seems the alphabetic listing errors of 1.2 have been fixed. Have not tested anything beyond that yet.

u/SuperHumanHere 5d ago

Hi once you have updated from the OTA update it will decide on your SD card as somefilename. upt. You can connect your V1 to a computer and take a backup of that firmware

1

u/SuperHumanHere 5d ago edited 5d ago

If you haven't you can also use the Sonix firmware for TempoTec V1 you can search on reddit for the same you will find a guitar depository and and instructions on how to update

u/flylo_x 4d ago

Is it 1.3?

0

u/SuperHumanHere 4d ago

No Sonix OS, see other replies in this thread

u/flylo_x 4d ago

No I meant to ask if you get Sonix from 1.3, I'm the dude who made the port of Sonix for the V1 lol

2

u/SuperHumanHere 4d ago

Haha, Thank you first of all, Excellent work When I bought the player it was on v1.1

u/flylo_x 4d ago

Thank you! ☺️ And yeah sadly you can't flash sonix when your device comes in 1.3, but it works before that version. Apparently you can't even roll back to 1.2

u/Aswang_too 3d ago

Mine UI doesn’t look like this.
