STUnlocker Android App for Shimano motors is available

You’d happily put an app by a Russian developer that sits behind an anonymous looking gmail account on your Android phone? Ok.

Probably not, but the wife has a Huawei already anyway so....

I'm surprised to see these apps in the stores. They will likely be removed in the near future.

And why? There are tons of junk apps on stores that to work they require explicit consent from the user to access a flood of personal information that resides on the phone in order to collect an infinite amount of data and then sell it to third parties and no one has ever removed it.

Shimano Steps Unlocker asks only to have access to the position based on the network and to the bluetooth settings and pairing, therefore it does not have the possibility to access the network and transmit data because without authorization Android does not allow the functionalities, so what are the risk?

Please see my subsequent comment ?

 

[StuE]

Yes

Sent payment,what happens next ? it might be an idea to put up a post with simple step by step instructions, please don't take this as some kind of a criticism I just think it might help people to use the app

Readed late... sorry!

Hmm I can't connect. It seems to miss a PIN but before I get to type it, the app seems to crash.
I don't even know what the pic is supposed to be. Tried with 0000 and 1234

Nvm, found out I had somehow changed the pin for some reason (??)

I believe the default pin is 000000

6 zeroes

It's very strange, because PIN is 6 digit number, and you can't enter 0000 or 1234 into App,
Try to connect your bike using E-tube project first and see if you can do this.

My bad, sorry. I don't know how I managed to do it but somehow I have changed the PIN and that was the reason. I sent a license request btw. I already have a "tuning" thing on it, but I much prefer just to run with original everything and have the locale set to US.

 

[volts]

What happens if you set the locale to US and then update to latest firmware? Back to EU or keep the US?

US market and other settings will remain

 

[volts]

US market and other settings will remain

Great thanks.Got it working and going for a ride now with the new US settings.

After that - to dismount the motor and all that crap again to mount the original speed reader part.

Reduced eco assistance to 45%, changed region to US and set the wheel circumference to what it actually should be, rode the bike yesterday and I'm really pleased with the changes, assistance in eco is now pretty much where I wanted it (might reduce it a little more) and assistance cuts out at just over 20mph (no more of that annoying cutting in and out when you are at a nice cruising speed)
Imho the app and license are the best £30 I have spent on the bike

Hi VadII,
today I bought the license, but I can’t downgrade the firmware from version 4.7 to 4.3.2... with both android and window and pce-1
your instructions are very clear and I followed them to the letter, but when I connect E-tube nothing happens and the firmware does not update...
I’m not very smart with computer and I know that, but your instructions are simple and easy to understand and I don’t understand where I’m wrong...

 

[vadII]

I would recommend to you to downgrade from 4.7.0 to 4.6.1. This is works 100%. After that you can try to downgrade to 4.3.2

 

[maramouse]

the path I follow with android is
download the files . dat that you put on your site, then I connect the smarthphone to the pc and open the folder Android / data / com.shimano.etubeprojectmobile.droid.phone / files and script files. dat then I close internet and wifi on the phone and connect E-tube only with bluetooth but not give me firmware update... where am I wrong?

May be there. I didn't say about files and script. Correct folder is FW. You should put 4 .dat files into it

I do not see FW folder, but only the folder file and it is empty...

 

[vadII]

I copy in folder file, I don't have FW...

But it must exists...

As an old guy I'm not particularly IT literate but think "how hard can it be, I'll have a go".
Then I read posts like the preceding few and think "forget it".

 

[Bravestarr]

Hi Peaky,
If you just want to change the engine modes/values and change to the US 20mph limit then you don't have to do any of that stuff. Don't get put off. It was all of 2 minutes work on a phone for me and no PC necessary.

 

[b4rt]

@maramouse the path is

/sdcard/Android/data/com.shimano.etubeprojectmobile.droid.phone/files/FW
or just create that folder FW
regards

Can the wheel size be changed in the app?

The app really couldn't be simpler, if you only want to change the settings for the different power modes you don't even need a licence, with one there are a lot of other things you can change but it is really easy to go back to Shimano's default settings

Thanks StuE, all i'm after is the US speed limit just so I don't have to kill myself trying to keep up with my pedalling mates on the flat..

Any plans for an iOS version?
