Peter,
Have you tried replacing the batteries in the meter? I’m not sure about OAD specifically, but some folks have had problems with firmware updates if the meter batteries were low.

Although it sounds like you have tried a few things, here is a list of the easy steps to try based on various posts from James and others in this forum.

1. In the phone, turn airplane mode off then on. Sometimes that is enough.
2. Reboot the phone. Sometmes that is enough.
3. In the phone, go to Settings->Bluetooth->Paired Devices. If the Mooshimeter is listed under paired devices, delete it.
4. Open the case (2 screws) and press the tiny reset button (near the microSD card slot). This reboots the meter.
5. Remove the 2 batteries and check their voltage with another meter and replace if low. Some people have had low/dead batteries even if they haven’t used the meter much.
6. Sometimes the meter thinks it is still in shipping mode, so momentarily short the meter probes between ohm and common.
7. Uninstall and reinstall the Mooshimeter app.
8. Try a different phone if possible. Pre-paid phones with android 4.4 or 5 can be obtained on sale for $20 or less (in the USA) and they don’t have to be activated, just use wifi. A dedicated phone for this also frees up your main phone.

Hope one of these helps your meter.

I’d already tried rebooting the meter with the reset button. It’s not in shipping mode because I can connect to it and use it as a meter.

I’ve tried new batteries, rebooting my phone and using a different phone.

When I use the released Android app, I can reprogram it back to 1447458797. I’ve installed the beta Android app on another phone with the same results. Based on this, I think the problem is the app not correctly detecting OAD mode following a meter reboot.

Peter,
I am currently using App release 26, FW 1466836533

I was curious on your problem, so I tried it with the exactly same OAD results as you. So I agree something is wrong with the new firmware updating code. I was able to “continue without updating” and it seems to working with the new App 27 with the older firmware 1466836533.

Since you say you are on FW 1462564395 now, (that was bundled with App version 22), you are certainly missing a lot of good changes James has made. Unfortunately the Playstore only allows you to install the latest version, so I’m sure James will want to fix this soon. In the meantime, you can always download previous released versions from here https://github.com/mooshim/Mooshimeter-AndroidApp/releases. Release 26 is pretty stable and it has included FW 1466836533. Hopefully you know how to side install apps from unknown sources.

Thanks to Duane & James for their help.

I updated my phone to 1.0.28(2031) with 1467155160 firmware and managed to reprogram my meter after a few tries by resetting it and then immediately trying to connect and program it. Unfortunately, it then got stuck in the bootloader and I was forced to reprogram it in Android “slow” mode before it would take (this is with new batteries in the meter and I’ve not needed to use slow mode previously).

Note that my iPad with release software (1.0.6 from memory) would not connect to the mooshimeter whilst it was in bootloader mode after my first programming attempt.

I haven’t had a chance to play with the new firmware yet and will provide feedback when I do.

James: Would you be able to add a description of all the LED flashing modes to the FAQ. ISTR seeing one in a blog entry but that’s less accessible.

28 –> 29, so fw build is now 1469410939.

OnePlus Two fails “reset free” update mode, but (for some reason, few failed tries with resetting later) after resetting mooshimeter and connecting while in bootloader mode, update started automatically.. I thought i should cancel it, becouse i had never succesfully updated mooshimeter without lecacy mode, but did not and this time it worked.

Did i just accidentally press something to start update process or is that some new feature? And what about that reason for lecacy mode stuff.. Is there improvements in recent updates or should i be worried that all my luck went to that one update? :D

Hi James.

Maybe OnePlus had updated some ble stuff at right about that point, as all fw updates since then (~3 times?) have worked without legacy mode.. And without manually resetting.
