I'm stuck at this point:

Waiting for the upgraded device to appear
If this does not work have a look at the '*.log'-files in the 'scripts' subfolder!

[sebastianklein96]

You seem to have firmware loaded on your device that has been patched against the exploit Tuya Convert uses to flash. Have you updated your device's firmware / connected it to the internet before / connected it to any sort of app before trying to flash with Tuya Convert?

You can get more information in these issues since they all deal with the same issue:
https://github.com/ct-Open-Source/tuya-convert/issues/160
https://github.com/ct-Open-Source/tuya-convert/issues/197
https://github.com/ct-Open-Source/tuya-convert/issues/199

[jokerigno]

Nope. I just plugged in and put in configuration mode. I already am aware of this issue (I'm following #160) but was hoping that this devices were still usable.

[kueblc]

Hi @jokerigno,

Actually taking a closer look at your logs now, I see that the device did connect and make HTTP requests. It should still be possible to flash this device OTA if you are still interested.

[jokerigno]

Yes I'm interested! What do you suggest? To try with the default procedure or I have to make some change?

[kueblc]

Try the enhance-api branch with git clone -b enhance-api https://github.com/kueblc/tuya-convert.git

[jokerigno]

I will try and let you know.

[jokerigno]

It worked!

Please noticed that I had to change also the smartphone used to connect to wifi. Don't ask me why but my mi6 did't the job so i used my tablet.

[kueblc]

Awesome, thank you for testing @jokerigno

[vigne]

@kueblc FYI, your branch was also the only way to update the Luminea NX-4462-675 which is listed under supported devices. Main brach failed also with " Socket error on client P1, disconnecting." like @jokerigno 's

[jeanfrancoissantos]

Hi! This branch is the only way to flash Glode LED Bullbs from Costco (CA). Thanks!

[kueblc]

Great, thank you all for the feedback. I will try to get this into the main branch shortly.

[Jujonet]

Maybe this is such a huge refloat, but I couldn’t be more grateful.
With kueblc enhanced branch I could flash a couple of Teckin SP22 I was suspecting could have been connected to internet before as refundé to flash with ruta-convert (I got them 2nd hand) and also a Blitzwolf SHP8 I thought came bricked from China....
