We placed that message, as it is very important to set at least the product number on the device. If you receive them from our warehouse, you should have this information already there. The modules you are facing this issue probably have been flashed with very old images or once did not fully flash which lead to this situation. So this seems to be a problem only for already touched modules.
To work around this you could use the config block editor and create a batch file, that sets the serial number before you start the update process.
You batch file would at least have to set the following information:
I have now tried many ways to save the version, and serial number permanently on the Colibri T30 unfortunately without success.
When entering the data manually, the data is retained until new data are collected.
Then the data must be entered again manually.
Unfortunately, this is not portable for me, since our devices have no input possibility.
The installation must be carried out automatically. How can I achieve this?
Your possibility with the .bat file does not work with me.
I quickly checked with the this config file, it worked fine. In the first version of the post above, I worte, you have to use “=” symbols to assign values. This was wrong, the tool only accpets spaces.
Further on, you have to provide a numeric value for the variant (0 = a, 1 = b, 2 = c, …). Does it still not work like this?
@Saphymo : Did you use the latest tool from here. I downloaded the tool and it run well (T30, CE7). Can you open the tool in the GUI mode? Could it be you downlaoded the CE8 version of the tool?
I quickly checked in the code. If you have a T30 module in the device, it can only be, that you have overwritten the config block and it can not be read any longer. This could be triggered by your recovery mode issue you are currently facing as well. Let us first solve this one, may be the situation will be also clear in this case after that.
