Allview V-Bass Firmware Update

ID: 139297

Description: The Allview V-Bass speaker is a Bluetooth and...

Steps:

  1. The first step is to connect to the web interface integrated into the speaker.
  2. If your speaker is already connected to your Wi-Fi network, from a web browser connect to it: http://<adresseip>/
  3. If your speaker is not yet connected to your Wi-Fi network, look for the speaker's access point (by default V-Bass_xxxx) and connect to it. Once connected, the web interface will be accessible at the address http://10.10.10.254/

  4. This speaker is powered by an A31 rev 04 module built by LinkPlay. The UUID number of the speaker is FF310022. Another product powered by LinkPlay has the same UUID and is therefore in every respect identical at the hardware level. This is the Meet Riff marketed by theFABRIQ (ref.: WB 22).
  5. The firmware was published on 04/12/2018 and is powered by version WiiMu.4.0.6404 instead of version 3.6.4324 published on 24/04/2017.
  6. Download the firmware from the LinkPlay update site: Firmware
  7. Optional: check the firmware MD5: 38f62a205a7d312520958b15599bdc3f a31dossora_new_uImage_20181204
  8. Go to your speaker's website (http://10.10.10.254 when you are connected to the speaker's AP or the speaker's IP address on your Wifi network).
  9. Click on "Setting".
  10. Then on "System".
  11. Check that your speaker is well charged; it would be a shame to have a battery failure during the update.
  12. In "Firmware upgrade", click on "choisir un fichier", select the previously downloaded file and click on "apply".
  13. The speaker informs you by a voice message that the update is in progress. Do not unplug your speaker!
  14. Once the update is complete, the speaker informs you that it is completed with a voice message.
    15. Step image
  15. Many applications are compatible with this speaker (more than 200), because they are all based on LinkPlay.
  16. I have referenced the one that should work on Android here.
  17. The most up-to-date (when writing this article) is Audio Pro Control, available for Android and iPhone.
  18. Once the update is done, the new firmware versions no longer have a Web interface to perform a new firmware update.
  19. To perform a new firmware update, you must therefore go through the command line:
  20. Retrieve the curl tool.
  21. Open a command prompt, then type the following command after having adapted it (speaker IP and file).
  22. Curl -H 'Upgrade-Insecure-Requests: 0' -F 'filename=@file_du_firmware' http://<IP_DE_ENCEINTE>/cgi-bin/upload.cgi
  23. You can also use the update tool distributed by LinkPlay, downloadable here (a guide is available in the archive file).
