Rise US firmware installed😀

[Vwrise]

Just had the US firmware installed on my Rise today, you need STlocker premium license at £33 then was transferred using windows STUnlocker for Windows, requires Shimano PCE interface and supports all latest Shimano firmwares without downgrading.
Great upgrade

This one........Shimano SM-PCE02?

 

[Vwrise]

Hi yes that looks like the one,I had someone do it for me today he supplied the equipment.

It is probably just a motor setting for US values, not an unique firmware. Totally worth it though!

yep agree, if using stunlocker its not a "special" firmware just changing region setting. I'd love to do mine, I even have the equipment but risk is to great if I have a problem. Only bothers me when riding on firetrails etc..

Emax software allows switching between EU and US regions and at least the Etube Professional software doesn't notice a region change EU->US->EU if one worries about potential maintenance issues. This update really did transform the bike and I highly recommend it.

Yes it does, emax is far the best out there. Customer support is superb and so may tuning options to choose from.

I'm coming back here after a long time away. I'm fed up with the absurd 15mph limit and want to switch my 2022 H15 to US spec. Is the "emax" method considered the best? Not sure what that is. I don't want to need to buy the shimano hardware box. Thanks.

Watching the video it does appear, with the recent firmware, to simply change the motor location setting. that feels a much better way of increasing speed than any of the hacks and you know it's completely within the safe operating parameters of the motor.

But 119euro per bike for the licence - ouch!

Is this working also for ep801?

 

[Ark]

that likely voided any warranty you had on the motor

I'd love to do it, but at the same time it's going to eat my battery, I'm almost always over the 15mph limit on anything flat or downhill. At 20+ I'd be in the motor zone most of the rides, even on techy descents. As it stands I would expect I could get 50 miles plus on a decent ride. But at 20+, no chance! And still got a years warranty left...

"If your firmware is marked with 4.1 or higher, not all functionalities will be available. You need to downgrade the firmware. It is a relatively simple process that takes about 10 minutes and you only need a PC and your mobile."

can you elaborate as a user? My reading of https://etuning-app.com/downgrade_ios.pdf is that this software doesn't work with up to date firmware on the EP8 motor

This app works same way as others apps posted on the forum. It connects to motor via Bluetooth and change settings. But there are 2 things that some people mess. First to do this you need to go back to older version of shimano motor firmware like 4.0.2. that allows to make that changes. Second thing all apps only allow to change basic settings in free mode. To change region, Tyre size and other advanced settings you need to buy premium version of the app. And last thing for RS version of the EP8. You can go back with motor firmware to older version and change premium sertings via bluetooth app on it but after that you need to go back to current version of firmware. Reason for that is because RS motor with older firmware (at least with 4.0.2) shows error e35 until you go back to current firmware. But bluetooth app work as usuall even when error e35 is displayed. My orbea settings below.

Hi, thanks for posting. I am slightly confused though. I have a later version of the firmware, so I understand I need to roll back my firmware to an older version, buy this app and connnect it, change the region, and then what? Can I update to the latest version of the firmware but it stays on US region? does it all work then? A bit confused. Thanks.

Correct. Make change on old version and go back do new. I guess and I think it is right that when that old firmware version was the current one ep8 RS was not release yet so it is not included in the code.
