Firmware Upgrade / Asset Tracking disabling

Mathieu-S

Hi Everyone,

I was wondering if it is something I do wrong, or if there is an issue with my module.

I have never managed to successfully upgrade the firmware of my nRF9160 Thingy:91.

I am using the nRF Connect v3.7.1 with the Programmer tool.

I have followed the documentation and tried the SW3 Button + Power Button + Add Hex File method. I have tried the SW4 Button + Power Button + Zip file method

But the upgrade never goes through and I often end up with a message such as "Please make sure that the device is in MCUboot and try again" (depending on the method choosen).

The current firmware version on the Thingy:91 is mfw_nrf9160_1.1.1

My end goal is to disable the AssetTracker entirely (so that it won't Power Cycle when I don't want it to), and I believe that was the only possibility.

Any idea to disable the Asset Tracker would be most welcome !

Cheers,

Mathieu

    Ok I just now managed to flash the firmware as suggested : 

    SW4 + Power + img_fota_dfu_hex\thingy91_nrf52_connectivity_bridge_2021-06-28_7a076c22.hex

    then

    SW3 + Power + mfw_nrf9160_1.3.0.zip

    I think J-link was not installed at all... after executing the .exe the nrfjprog --version command properly showed the installed versions.

    Launching the flash procedure was successful.

    I will have tou double check that the Asset Tracker is correctly disabled.

    Cheers
