Pebble stuck in Factory Mode "Update Failed" Anonymous 2016-01-12 17:22:20 Post No. 52383819 [Report]

I bought a Pebble on eBay for $15 that was stuck in recovery mode, and it seemed to update successfully out of Recovery Mode. It then prompted me to connect via bluetooth to my phone and open the Pebble app.

Upon doing so, the Pebble app tells me my Pebble is in Factory Mode and needs to be updated.

I click the update button and all seems well until around 50% at which a caution sign pops up on the Pebble with the words "update failed" below.

Is there a fix for this or should I try to get an RMA? I doubt very seriously they'll give me an RMA, though, if we're being honest here.

I tried putting it in recovery mode, but that isn't working with it being in factory mode. Any help is greatly appreciated,

Try multiple times and with a different phone if possible. Flaky Bluetooth connections cause mine to do that.

Trying to sideload older firmware from PebbleBits now, but for some reason my G4 isnt associating the .pbz file with the Pebble app.

Downloaded Pebble 1.9.6 APK and trying to downgrade that way, but I think it's a lost cause. I'm going to assume that you guys aren't going to be able to help me, but just in case I'll leave this tab open.

I'm gonna go look around on Google and the Pebble forums some more for now.

I have also contacted tech support, but they're a very unresponsive bunch.

I'm always on /g/, and I help if I can... not sure why you guys will go into a thread just to babble about not wanting to help. Why waste your time?

Someone who is always on /g/ would know that this isn't a tech support forum
