retird Posted January 18, 2017 Report Share Posted January 18, 2017 I don't think it will auto-update your firmware but will place a notification in EScribe that there is an update available. Here is a link to an early tutorial that is helpful. A lot has been updated since this video but you can get a lot of "how to use EScribe" from it if you want to view it.https://downloads.evolvapor.com/escribe/guide/story.htmlHere is a users manual that is a bit dated also and a lot has changed but may be helpful:https://downloads.evolvapor.com/escribe/EScribeManual.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Modbustersecig Posted January 18, 2017 Report Share Posted January 18, 2017 retird said:Your SP5 firmware is almost the latest SP so I would use it for now and go ahead and do your custom screens. You are concerned that SP5a on the device may cause you issues so why not use the device for a while first. The SP5a pack addresses the following of which you may not have issues with anyway:On the device side:- DNA 200 and DNA 250 no longer lose the battery meter on startup sometimes.- Calibration values have been improved slightly for newer DNA 200s and DNA 250s. (More accurate USB Voltage, mainly.)- Temperature Protected and other messages now show the correct number of flashes again.- Some VaporShark DNA 200s would reset charging when above 0.8A with 1.2 SP3 and 1.2 SP4. They now charge at full speed. Yes what Retird said as some of you know I have had some problems with boards DNA 200 well I got to agree with above post lattest up date is the only way to go. I received a couple DNA 250 to try in my Opus Mods one gave me problems right off the get go running cells down to low and was replaced .well that was the beginning of a new and so far BIG game changer my Opus and the DNA 250 is the best thing since sliced bread the charging is fast and my Lipo cells stay even I raised my soft cell cut off and using sp 5 no problems at all .I use my Mod a lot and in a wide range of conditions hot cold. I do keep a eye on temperature not so much for the board but I do not like my Lipo getting to warm above 120 D F I believe the charger starts cutting back at 130 degrees Fahrenheit wish I could lower that but the DNA 250 is a very good board and so is the.

Modbustersecig Posted January 18, 2017 Report Share Posted January 18, 2017 What do your cells read voltage using volt meter the soft cell cut off should be around 3.02 I believe I would check that first DNA SHOULD NOT fire under 3 volts per cell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djboa Posted January 18, 2017 Report Share Posted January 18, 2017 4.05V on the batteries, I have also had batteries at 3.7V in it, no difference ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Modbustersecig Posted January 18, 2017 Report Share Posted January 18, 2017 That's strange I have not seen a DNA/ 200 or 250 read cells off using escrib unless I have faulty cell or bad faulty connection if the voltage were it goes in to the board reading dose not match Escrib reading I would request return authorization Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djboa Posted January 18, 2017 Report Share Posted January 18, 2017 the original poster has a mod with the same exact problem rma'd on the way to evolv ... since I am from europe I would love to avoid shipping it back and forth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
retird Posted January 18, 2017 Report Share Posted January 18, 2017 hum.... you might fill out a ticket and explain the issue and let Evolv guide you.... yours ran a week after update then quit..... may be hardware issue??@mustave posted earlier about 1_2_SP5 and said this " Beginning to suspect I have a hardware issue and the firmware upgrade was sort of coincidental. But I'm now in email communication with Evolv and we shall see". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

olegasan Posted January 20, 2017 Report Share Posted January 20, 2017 I have same problem with Therion DNA166 from box. I have inserted batteries and see blinking logo Lost Vape when push the fire bottom. If I press bottom longer the second I see «check battery» and logo of empty battery. Installing SP5, restoring defaults, using another part of batteries does not help. If I try to do hard or soft reset in Escribe it says «Hard/soft reboot command issued» and nothing happen. Device Monitor in Escribe shows in Cell 1: 0,01V, in Cell 2: 5,20V.I donât know what to do. Please help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EDMKEV Posted January 21, 2017 Report Share Posted January 21, 2017 @olegasan did you update to SP 5.2? and then had those issues? Seems like alot of people having troubles after updating to the new service package.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
giz_60 Posted January 21, 2017 Report Share Posted January 21, 2017 Verify that your battery settings in Escribe are set for 2 cell & not 3 cell. My Therion 166 is updated to the newest firmware...battery settings are...Lithium Polymer & 2 cell...no problems Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it does not help.Modbustersecig , in my battery charger every my battery shows 4,2V Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EDMKEV Posted January 21, 2017 Report Share Posted January 21, 2017 Wow i cant believe that..hopefully these guys can figure something out, I'm baffled that it came that way out of box though since i bought my mod just about a week ago and my VT167 is fairly new as it was programmed in late December by evolv before being sent to H Cigar i guess.. Guess it was just bad luck yours came like that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EDMKEV Posted January 22, 2017 Report Share Posted January 22, 2017 ya try the above, i once had the VT133 and i guess it had changed from 3 battery from 2 battery, and the mod would flash on for second and stop workingput it back onto Escribe and changed it back to 2 battery configuration and it started working perfect again..but i believe i read in one of the Escribe updates or SP's that they had fixed that problem..not positive but worth a try!

retird Posted January 22, 2017 Report Share Posted January 22, 2017 @olegasan..... what is the voltage at the + and - input at the DNA board when you check it with a meter? Device Monitor shows it just above 5 volts. What is the voltage coming out of the battery sled measured with a meter? You are getting a check battery message when you hold the fire button...

olegasan Posted January 22, 2017 Report Share Posted January 22, 2017 @etird, I havenât any matters and couldnât check voltage in mod. I have only mod, atomizer and lots of batteries. 5,24V coming out of 2 batteries but mod think thatâs from only one of 2. Iâve written this info to Evolv and waiting for the answer.

retird Posted January 22, 2017 Report Share Posted January 22, 2017 Yep, understand but what if the voltage from only 1 battery is actually getting to the inputs of the DNA board? Have you contacted Lost Vape or your vendor? Please post what you find out so others may benefit from the determination and resolve. THX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
olegasan Posted January 22, 2017 Report Share Posted January 22, 2017 retird, if I in mod only 1 battery device monitor shows 2,81V (see attached screen). Charger shows 4,22V. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
retird Posted January 22, 2017 Report Share Posted January 22, 2017 Did you place that 1 battery in each position in the battery sled? You show 2.81 volts on battery 2 so place the battery in battery 1's slot and see what you get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
