@hungbui, thanks for testing it, that already helped :) I started wondering what is different for me and realized that I converted the softdevice from hex to bin, because I always flash it as a bin with the JLink. Then I checked and it works when I upload the softdevice as hex ota. So that's fine for me for now and I will close the issue.

Hi Dominik,

I tested here and it worked fine. Could you update your question with the .zip file that you used for testing ? I assume you are testing with SDK v11 production and S130v2 production ?

@hungbui, I had a look at the bootloader from SDK11, and adjusted my code accordingly, but still no luck! I even went and uploaded the dfu_dual_bank_ble_s130_pca10028.hex file contained in the SDK at examples/dfu/bootloader/hex together with the softdevice s130 v2. Same thing happens there: I upload the same softdevice (s130 v2) again through the the DFU upload on the Android phone. The upload seems to succeed from the Android side, then the device restarts, and the Android phone tries to connect again, but the device never comes back. After that I have to upload both softdevice and bootloader again with the JLink to get it to work again.

Ah thanks, to be honest our code is probably not quite the same as the one in github anymore, and I did merge it already with the files in the SDK 8.1. But I will have a look at the SDK 11 and see if I can update it.

Hi Dominik,

I don't think the bootloader from github support softdevice update. Please use the gcc bootloader from new SDK such as nRF5 SDK v11
