Thanks man! Last question (sorry for it) but do i need just to copa and paste the entire script into CMD and press enter?

 

[Kyokushin]

you need to copy and paste to empty file, name it "loginbypass.py" (extension must be .py, by default system may create you .txt but that will not work, so take a look on that), then run in cmd

 

[Puschtrale]

So i did copy the file in a empty file and saved it as loginbypass.py
Can you tell me with what comand i can run it within the command prompt?

 

[Kyokushin]

just name of this script

 

[Puschtrale]

just name of this script

So i just open command peompt, type in "loginbypass.py" and press enter?
Or do i need to insert the path where the script is saved? Sorry, i just cannot go further ?

 

[Kyokushin]

You need to enter the folder with script at first.

So i just type in for example c:\username.folder.bafang.loginbypass.py ?
May i ask you if i can write you a pn for maybe getting your assistence on this?

 

[Kyokushin]

Create folder named „bafang” in „username” then place there a script and run it:
c:\username\bafang\loginbypass.py

Thanks mate! Now i have it! I had to just double click on the file loginbypass.py to run the script. After it i can login the Besst Software with any account and passwort ! Now i hope the Besst Tool will arrive today to be able to upgrade the firmware you mentioned to get more peak power out of the m 500. I am curious....
Did you experience also lot of less battery capacity due to the increased max power? And is there still the problem of less power when reaching under 30 % battery? Thanks for your help, i really appreciate it

 

[Kyokushin]

This firmware have optimized battery atrentiation, but i have no tested it yet - need to take longer trip.

May be it sounds stupid..I created a file in the text editor, copied all the script into the file, and saved it as described. If I doubleclick on it, I'm asked which programm to use to run it. If I choose text editior, the script opens, but nothing is happening. Sorry, but I'm really lost...

 

[thaeber]

..and really stupid. I need to install Python and the other software required first, correct? Unfortunately my Windows laptop is VERY old, and Python does not support the old hardware (processor). Looks like I have to talk to a buddy with more up to date hardware

 

[BootsDave]

I had the same problem, but if you go through the menu, there is a Windows 32bit installer which worked for me.

 

[Kyokushin]

@thaeber the old hardware / cpu should not be an issue, but @BootsDave have a very good point - it may be the matter of your OS version - try 32 bit.

 

[thaeber]

Thanks guys! I‘ll give it a try tomorrow. Otherwise I do a roundtrip in Europe and visit You for a ride and a firmware update

 

[thaeber]

Ok, 32 bit version of Python successfuly installed. Now I'm struggeling with this simplejson installation. I get the following result: Command "pip" is wrong or type error. What do I do wrong? Thanks!

 

[Kyokushin]

During installation of python you need to mark checkbox as in the manual, after that - restart PC and command should work

 

[Pyr0]

You may have to add pip directory to the system PATH variable.

[edit] or reinstall following the instructions linked by Kyokushin

so far, so bad Everything worked now, thanks for all Your help. Next problem: I edit the "hosts" file using the text editor. If I close the file, it's not possible to save it within the "etc" folder. I'm logged in as Admin. If I run the script with the Editor Window open, the script is not executed...
Any suggetions? Thanks in advance!

Try to save it in another folder, then copy it to the etc folder and delete the old one

you need to open notepad "as administrator" and open this file from notepad.

@Rob Rides EMTB , now we got new firmware from Bafang which is giving up to 720W in peak. I am curious how test would like if you had that firmware in bike.

Is it suitable for the M600 engine?
Or is there a separate branch of the firmware on the M600?

M600 have different firmware. I am attaching the latest for now (CRX10NC4818i132046.7-28-2230-20201121.bin) bafang official for M600.
M600 have around 1kW of peak power.

This worked fine, many thanks!! Anyhow, I start the script "loginbypass.py" with a double click out of the explorer, the script starts, but does not finally execute. Prompt is blinking, but nothing happens..
.

 

[thaeber]

Sorry to bother You with all that questions, I really appreciate Your help!

 

[Kyokushin]

working as intended, and now run the besst (do not close the cmd with script).

next steps:
a. upload and pick file
b. after beeps - unplug the besst cable from bike. NOT usb from besst or laptop, but BESST connector to engine (single plug)
c. wait few seconds then connect and update will proceed automatically
d. click 'reset' after beep

Sure! But I ordered the Besst Tool only today, I wanted to ensure that the software hack is working before I spend 150 € for nothing
