many thanks
 
Sorry about the old thread bump, but I thought I would update the "historical record".

My new Aegis Solo just arrived, loaded with firmware version "GB78-H14-2020-072701". I don't know if this is the latest, as it does not appear on their website... or anywhere else I can Google.

The update listed in the GeekVape help system (referenced earlier in this thread) is "GB78-H12-2019-0312301" which looks to be older than mine.

Hello !
I update my Solo with the correct firmware that I got from the right section in geekvape’s web site but now my mod is bricked! I am really frustrated because I did the update just for my stupid needs to try it, the mod was working pretty good
I tried to restore to the original firmware but it’s still not turning on... I hope geekvape’s support can help me with the ticket I started today.
I had a question regarding the coil ohm value: on my mod it was “locked in” and I never understand how to unlock in order to correct the ohm value , is there a method to unlock the adjustment for this value?
Thanks

If you get your Solo unbricked, please make sure to post back here what the solution was.

I will be really happy to share this info, in case I will be able to unbrick it! It’s my first mod and I am really satisfied of it. Let’s see if their support can help me.
This is my last attempt to update firmware :)

Someone in the Random DIY thread had what they thought was a dead Solo not too long ago. It wouldn't power up. I had them remove the battery, plug it into a USB port on their PC then power their Solo up. It brought the Solo back to life. Give it a try.

I would retry the firmware update again.

If that doesn't work I would find an older firmware version to try.

You might try running the firmware update without the battery installed in your Solo.

Just an FYI. I don't think there are any updated firmware downloads for the Solo. I downloaded the one on their downloads page and then the one on their support page that says it's the "original firmware", but they appear to be the same firmware judging from their file names inside the zip file. Both are "JKN_GB78_H12-USER-S10 2019032301.bin"

YES!! Try this, I was able to get someone else to revive their dead Kroma-R by doing this.

Ciao and thanks for the suggestion.
I tried also to turn on the mod without battery and atom but it doesn’t work :(
Same to update with older, original and newest firmware, always not turning on ...
The thing that sounds strange is that the mod is recognized only in zone of my two windows laptop; of course I had the update trails in to the working laptop. If somebody has a “set” of firmware for solo mod I will just check which are on my “database”.

Are you sure you didn't download the Aegis X firmware from this page instead of teh Aegis Solo?

Indeed seems there’s nothing different between these two versions... the worst point is nothing seems working to make alive gain my mod :(
Now I have to bring to the bed my daughter then I will try again, I don’t want to give up!
