Given Gledopto OTA updates caused a mess before (#827), I'm inclined to not accept any new Gledopto OTAs anymore, because how are we going to guarantee this is not going to break more devices?

[V4n1X]

Yes you are right, thats only the case if there is ability to check the current installed sw_build_id for the matching hardware revision, and to serve then only the right version, I don't know if that is possible.

Maybe we put the Gledopto Updates into a category for manual updates, with informations about it.

[Koenkk]

Yes you are right, thats only the case if there is ability to check the current installed sw_build_id

This can be added but the problem is that older z2m instances and ZHA won't check for this so they will feed the wrong OTAs to the device. I propose to keep it manual indeed with some instructions. Maybe we can document it on the device page

[Nerivec]

Not sure what the devices are reporting (i.e. if possible), but looks like this wouldn't work anyway without at least one of these:

    hardwareVersionMin?: number;
    hardwareVersionMax?: number;
    minFileVersion?: number;
    maxFileVersion?: number;

(as can be seen, the detection put one in index1 - detected "older")

[davux]

It looks like there is still a confusion around Gledopto OTAs. See #865 for example.
For example, I'm getting this log in z2m:

zhc:ota: [0xa4c138a7bb787072 | GL-C-008P] Getting latest image, meta: {"fileName":"C-ZB-LC20_V30151203_20250904.ota","fileVersion":838938625,"fileSize":203346,"url":"https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Koenkk/zigbee-OTA/master/images/Candeo/C-ZB-LC20_V30151203_20250904.ota","imageType":5145,"manufacturerCode":4687,"sha512":"8effcb4304d10f0af0fa5b3dc40d0724844f23d3cbfbd409bbfff7549c3483cd04c01652c17cb423ffb6ca3ce24e9589290109530fa19e3bc5033476ae3a17ee","otaHeaderString":"Telink OTA Sample Usage"}

So in my example it's a Gledopto GL-C-008P but for some reason it's fetching Candeo/C-ZB-LC20_V30151203_20250904.

[Koenkk]

@davux this is because Gledopto uses the spec very badly (I fixed this case)

[Anemia7635]

Just semi-bricked two Gledopto GL-C-008P while OTA flashing via ZHA (not using z2m). They can no longer change mode, are stuck in RGBW, and one is now presenting itself as "C-ZB-LC20v2-RGBCCT by Candeo". Both flash angry red leds when trying to change mode. Naming is not so important to me, but mode is. Will it be possible to reflash/salvage somehow? The one with new name is also stuck in an upgrade loop, running 0x31013001, repeatedly trying to install 0x32013001.

@V4n1X @Koenkk I suspect none of this is Gledopto's fault.

I just posted some enhancement requests that would make OTA easier for users and more failure proof.
... #869

I've been working with the Gledopto firmware dev for over a week now to create a customer FW for me. He's been really great. The FW you are all talking in this thread he told me that was never posted by Gledopto. It is a custom FW that a user posted which was never meant for public release.

The enhancements I hope you put in place would make all these problems easily avoidable and easily reversible... which they are not currently either of those since the user is blind to any real info about the FW that Z2M presents the user. The user must 'trust' that Z2M has proper FW to give, and in the above case, it did not.
