STUnlocker (ex Shimano STEPS Unlocker) Android & Windows App for derestriction/market change and etc

[Astom22]

Fix it with no lights

Hello vadll,
I am using stepsunlocker and if I want to use stunlocker do i have to pay again for a license?

I was hesitant to buy the license, bugged vadll with too many questions, which he answered. My only regret is not doing it sooner. Does everything the stock app does only better, but also allows you to set up your bikes wheel circumference and not have to visit a shop for that.

Yes, it's great having such a responsive app developer.

As above, I can't increase anything but 'Assist' from around 191% to 200%.
Whoopie doo.

I have the same problem it seems to be a e6100 problem.
I can increase the assistance up from 191% to maximum 238% and the torque up to 60nm. And it works.
But as soon as i disconnect the battery everything goes back to default settings.

Fortunately the speedrestricion from eu to usa setting stays in the memory.

I just got this app on my iPhone and can’t login. I need to take my bike to dealer and have pin reset. Once I’ve done this and buy the license, will I be able to raise the speed limiter to 25+mph? I’m in the US market and already have it at 19.9mph. Is the only way to raise the max speed by changing the wheel size and having a bad speedo reading? Does the app also adjust power settings differently than the factory app?

The deal with STUnlocker is to NOT update the firmware..
Infact, I understand it that to unlock all the features you have mentioned, you may need to reverse the firmware updates to older versions to get the access you want- once this is in effect, you have total control over the settings....
Im sure someone with more experience will set me straight if I got that wrong. None of it affects the speedo/data readout. One of the things I liked about it. And the price.. Equivalent boxes seem pricey in comparison for something that basically halves the pulse rate...!

I didn't have to downgrade anything on mine and can do all the things listed. I set my region to US, where I live, and adjusted my circumference to what it should have been the whole time.

 

[bossebil]

Yes, E5000 motor is supported

perfect! Should I upgrade the firmwares of
DU-E5000 / SC-E6100
Firmware ver: 4.1.0 / 4.0.5 to 4.2.1 / 4.0.5 (thats what e-tube want to upgrade to)

I updated my E5000 to the latest firmware before I knew about STUnlocker. Set my bike to US region this weekend, without problems. 32km/t seems like a very reasonable speed for everyday E-bike use.

And don't forget you can change the wheel diameter if you want more than 32. But I agree. 32 seems fine for commuting.

I think it's only for E8000 motors that you need to downgrade the firmware, and only if you want the display to show the correct speed (otherwise you can adjust the wheel circumference to fake it, on at least some of the more recent firmwares).

Can Steps Unlocker set different top speeds for each PAS? I want different top speeds for Eco, Trail, and Boost.

Yes, on FW 4.3.2

 

[AZRickD]

I just bought the 99-cent version of STUNLOCKER for my 2020 Santa Cruz Heckler (e8000 motor and 7000 display).

I’ll poke around and read up to see if I want to do the $30 license.

A quick question, why does the STunlocker app need to have a GPS connection?

Because of Bluetooth LT requirements

 

[AZRickD]

I messed with the app last night and this morning. Being able to adjust by slider the assist % from 1-300+ and torque from X newton-meter to 70nm is handy.

I found that I benefited from dropping *down* the settings in Trail Mode from the full-tilt setting of the eTube app’s “High.”

Hi Vadll!

I have the DU-E5000 / SC-E6100 combo, I've bought the licence and changed the region successfully. It's a great app!

I have a question though, I changed the chainring from 38t to 44t, but when I try to change it in the app it jumps to 47t and I'm not able to select 44t. Is there something I'm missing here?

I'm trying to change it because the motor seems to be getting confused and it's not assisting smoothly, even with stock settings.

Thanks!

Hi vadll,

What is the real max value for the e7000 motor.
Stunlocker set the boost max at 238% but in shimano notice i see 250%.
And why i can only change the power level by 5% up or down ?

Thanks.

 

[vadII]

Shimano set different support depends on FW version. Latest version has 238%. You can try to downgrade to 4.3.x if you need more support

 

[rsea]

Stunlocker worked perfectly on my e8000

Changed region and wheel circumference for much better ebike experience

FWIKILLER - I noticed my assist ration is currently set to 300%. After reading the above I'm concerned this is too high

rsea

Could you take à screenshot of your settings ?
What is your firmware ?
Your bike work normally with 300%?

I've got my motor confused

I'm running E8000 with E7000 display

 

[rsea]

Out of interest should I be cautious of setting the wheel circumference too small ?
How small is too small ? Actual wheels are 29"

 

[rsea]

I noticed on the emax manual you can go as low as 1300 on the circumference. Surely this would negatively impact the motor in time

Why do you think that?

 

[rsea]

Why do you think that?

It’s doubling the max speed the motor will push to. I guess this wouldn’t exert any greater torque demands but on the average ride it’ll be assisting almost 100% of the time. Whereas on my normal commute I’d estimate it assists about 20% of the time

Phone won't connect to bike?? Help.
So been using Steps unlocked with no problems. But I have changed my phone, still on Android, but when trying to connect app to steps unlocked, it gets to 6% then asks me to reenter pin. I tried the default 000000 and what I thought was my pin, neither one will let me connect.
Never had this issue with my last phone, which also was still android..

You forgot your bike's PIN. Read "Troubleshooting" section of the App's manual
