Well you can try with downgrade method of Alexander its simply Maybe will work When I downgrade to v117 I get in first try an cpu error Second time works its a seller from the USA that sells them. I tried the downgrade but could not understand how to do it. The ninebot does not stay on long enough to get through the process before it stops beeping and powers down.

Zhou Qingshun Posted June 26, 2016 Share Posted June 26, 2016 I got the same prob as well. Any advice ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zhou Qingshun Posted June 26, 2016 Share Posted June 26, 2016 My app is v3.6 now. When I started the app on my phone, the bluetooth is not pairing with the ninebot and after like 20 sec, the ninebot will switch off by itself. When turned on it just beeps in a pattern and flashes red led and front LED.. Really regretted to upgrade the firmware !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zhou Qingshun Posted June 26, 2016 Share Posted June 26, 2016 Also prompted me to upgrade to latest firmware 1.2.8. So the new mobile app is v3.6 and once you power up the ninebot, it will start to search and I will see my device. When I click on connect, it will show connecting but after a while, it will show me bluetooth connect fail. Any idea ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The app isn't the problem. Our problem is hardware related. Our ninebot won't stay on for longer than 20 seconds to allow us to complete a firmware downgrade it flashes and beeps and then turns off.

Zhou Qingshun Posted June 26, 2016 Share Posted June 26, 2016 After downloading the app v3.5 and try again, it shows me CPU start error, pls check control board. Error Code: 29. Ninebot shouldnt have released this upgrade if it is gonna screw so many people up... It was working perfectly fine before. I feel my $$ has just been burned away. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dannyar Posted June 26, 2016 Author Share Posted June 26, 2016 Exactly. This sucks. Worked fine out of the box. How was I supposed to know a firmware upgrade would make it a paperweight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ifan Posted June 26, 2016 Share Posted June 26, 2016 I got the same problem ... my ninebot keep flashing for 20 scnd and then turn off by it self.. and it says "cpu erorr start please check control board". Please anyone help me.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zhou Qingshun Posted June 26, 2016 Share Posted June 26, 2016 So even if we wanted to try downgrade using Deniss or Alexander method will not work as the ninebot will turn off by itself after 20 seconds. Anyone have any idea how to resolve this ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dannyar Posted June 26, 2016 Author Share Posted June 26, 2016 I think we're alone here guys. Doesn't seem anyone else has had this issue or figured out how to fix it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dannyar Posted June 26, 2016 Author Share Posted June 26, 2016 I posted the pictures earlier showing what errors I'm getting. I bought mine brand new from a USA reseller. It came sealed and was working perfect out of the box with the newest ninebot app on Google play store. I was prompted to update the firmware on the mini from the app and did so. Once it powered down and finished the update I was stuck in this cycle of the device only beeping and flashing for 20 seconds and turning off. I am able to get to the firmware update screen to 1.30 but the ninebot must be locked to upgrade firmware and the ninebot won't lock during this flashing and beeping stage.

Dmitry71 Posted June 26, 2016 Share Posted June 26, 2016 apparently the problem is in the application of 3.6 along with a new firmware, you just got unlucky, in Russia too began : http://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?s=&showtopic=747637&view=findpost&p=50729173 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HermanTheGerman Posted June 26, 2016 Share Posted June 26, 2016 To me it looks like that you have bricked your Mini with the firmware-upgrade. It doesn't start up correctly any more, therefore you can't try another firmware upgrade. This is definitely Ninebot's fault, because in no way it should be possible that if there is some problem during firmware-upgrade, that this renders the device unusable, there must be always some functioning backup-firmware, or at least a bootcode, which allows you to connect via Bluetooth again and retry the firmware upgrade. If that is not the case, you only can return the device to your reseller and exchange it for a new one. I would definitely also write a description of the problem to "service@ninebot.com", maybe they know some trick how you can connect via Bluetooth and retry the firmware upgrade. If they do, please tell us the trick also here, it may be helpful for others. What surprises me a little bit, is, that this seems to happen suddenly at several users, and I didn't hear about problems like that before.

Dannyar Posted June 26, 2016 Author Share Posted June 26, 2016 I have wrote to them. Let's see if they respond. I've already requested a return from the eBay seller. I don't think I'm going to repurchase with all these issues. Also not being able to activate without a Chinese number and lack of warranty in the US seems like trouble going forward.

You are right, all the things you mentioned shouldn't happen. It's a pity, because basically the MiniPro is a great device, and a lot better than the other hoverboards, especially on rough terrain. But if they don't get all these troubles solved soon, it will become unsellable because of the bad reputation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dannyar Posted June 26, 2016 Author Share Posted June 26, 2016 I'd almost rather pay the $999 for the segway US model because I know it will work, have warranty and even has s bigger battery, higher top speed and adjustable leg bar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But at least you would have warranty and the other mentioned advantages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
