Older RS2 Unable to Update to 32.2

Reach RS2 / RS2+ Getting started
1

Hello,

I have one of the older RS2 models (ie. it does not do 4G) and I am attempting to update to 32.2 from the 31.6 firmware. I connect to my hotspot, it downloads, it does the whole flashing light bit, and when I reconnect and check the version…it still says 31.6 as the current version. I would like to test out the new Beta (ie. for the dual transmit), but am unable to. I have connected to my second phone as the hotspot to avoid the issues some people have getting their internet from the same device running Flow. I typically do the following:

-start up a personal hotspot on my iPhone 14
-connect my Pixel 7 to that hotspot
-create a hotspot on my Pixel 7
-connect my RS2 to the Pixel 7 hotspot
-open Flow and connect to the RS2 via Bluetooth
-send NTRIP corrections via Bluetooth

This has always given me the best compatibility when using Flow.

Side note–when using SurvPC, the set up is similar (ie. the RS2 connects to my Pixel 7 hotspot, the DC has its own sim, I connect to the RS2 via Bluetooth with a NMEA profile, and the DC passes NTRIP corrections to the RS2 using its own internet).

Any ideas?

Did u try reflashing manually? You will lose logs settings etc.

Using this method?

No, I’ve always been able to flash through Flow. I could try that method if it’s the best alternative.

yes. last resort. See what others and/or Emlid says.

Hi @jaccen,

Let’s first try to update your Reach through the application.

  • Have you tried another Wi-Fi connection?
  • Have you tried updating through Reach Panel? Your Reach and PC must be connected to the same Wi-Fi network.

Just to note, to update to the Beta version, you need to turn on the Beta update option in Emlid Flow.
