SDK: 12.3

Soft Device: s130

Phone: HUAWEI P9 Lite

Android version: 6.0

I use the Phone(HUAWEI P9 Lite) and Android-nRF-Toolbox app to do Device Firmware Update.
But it always error when the phone connecting devices that are in DFU mode.

nRF connect app log show:

How can't I fix the issues?

[Sigurd]

Hi,

Could you try to do this:

1-Remove any bonded peripherals in the bluetooth settings.
2-Uninstall your version of nRF Toolbox.
3-Install nRF Toolbox from the app store.
4-Restart phone.
5-Launch nRF Toolbox. Try the DFU process again.

[ikeliang]

I follow your steps, but the problem still exists...

[Sigurd]

Do you see the same issue with other phones ?

[ikeliang]

I have a phone (HuaWei nova 2i), the phone sometime can't connect the device(error 133), but retry can OK.

The phone (HUAWEI P9 Lite) always can't connect devices that are in DFU mode.

[Sigurd]

Please try to enable packet receipt notification and set the number of packets to '1' 

You might also want to enable "Keep bond information".
