I'm a technogeek, and it weighs heavily upon me when I'm not running the latest software. I noticed the upgrade to 4.1.6, so I went down to the garage and set it up.
It all looked good, but about 10% into the upgrade, it shut down with an error that indicated a poor wifi signal. That's ??, because my wifi is pretty darned robust.
Everything looked good after the failure, so I tried again. It failed again.
I tried several more times, and eventually the computer on the bike was jacked. Clearly, the bike was no longer ridable. So I kept trying to upgrade the firmware because I had no other ideas.
And then... the computer on the bike was on, but no longer responsive. I couldn't connect to it with my iPhone, and I couldn't even turn the computer off.
Uh, oh.
Out of desperation, I removed the battery to kill the computer. After plugging the battery back in, the computer started up again, although it immediately went into an error mode. But at least I could connect to it with the iPhone.
I don't remember if it was on the first try after the unplugging, or if it took me a couple tries. But soon thereafter, I was able to restore the firmware. Now I'm running the latest version.
I only type this as an encouragement to those who might find themselves in a similar predicament. Except when the computer was unresponsive, the eTube app always tried to fix the firmware. And when the bike was unresponsive, unplugging it brought it back to life.
