Can someone please help me with upgrading the firmware in my SensorTile.box (STEVAL-MKSBOX1V1). I am successfully being able to connect to the device using the Android application "ST BLE Sensor v4.4.3", and I get a notification saying that there is a new firmware available, but nothing is happening when I select to "Start firmware upgrade". Can I download the file "SENSORTILE.BOX_v3018.bin" from somewhere and manually upgrade the firmware instead?

Hi @MKind , sorry for the very late answer. Still getting troubles? Meanwhile 2 more FW upgrades have been set available. Regards

Hi!
I tried upgrading the device a week or so ago, using the version 1.0.0 downloaded from st.com and uploaded to the device using the Android app ST BLE Sensor. Doing so bricked the device. I cannot get the LED to light up anymore when I plug the USB cable into the device, nor does a search in the ST BLE Sensor app find it.
Got any tips for me?

Hi @MKind , if you are not using the ST.box long time, you need first of all to plug it via USB to allow the battery charging. Then you have to check the BLE connectivity between your ST.box and your smartphone (btw, is your smartphone a Huawei phone?). The connection is ON if the blue led blinks.
But how did you exactly uploaded the FW? In case of no recent upgrade, when you open the app and detect the ST.box device via BLE, the FW will be automatically downloaded. But this is not the case, I suppose. So you can follow the below instructions to upload a default .dfu file in .dfu mode (no need of ST link V2 or V3 utility):

@Eleon BORLINI This does not help me, also DfuSe is obsolete, but still i tried it and actually it does not detect my st.box and that's why i tried with STM32CubeProgrammer but the device is bricked, nothing is happening, I cannot get the LED to light up anymore when I plug the USB cable into the device, nor does a search in the ST BLE Sensor app find it.

Not sure if people are still looking for an answer to bricking their SensorTile.box. This is what I did...
...This still triggers a FW upgrade. But it should at least get the sensortile.box up and running again.
