Another stuck watch!

[Ralpharama]

Oh okay... I know you've rebooted the watch many times, but try booting the watch into recovery mode by holding the button until the pine cone turns red. It'll boot again on its own (a large pine cone will turn green), and then the InfiniTime logo will appear. That should be the recovery prompt, and allow Bluetooth connections. Note that for Gadgetbridge to connect, it "must not" be connected to the phone's Bluetooth; however, you should be able to see the watch "Pinetime" available in the settings screen.

I guess this is as far as I can take you; if this doesn't work, then I hope someone comes along with other suggestions.

Hi Gary, thanks for the extra instructions but unfortunately I'm still in the same situation.

Here's what I did last.

- Uninstalled GadgetBridge
- Let the battery drain and left overnight
- In the morning put watch on the charger and then did a red pine cone reset, it turned red, then green then went to the InfiniTime logo
- Installed GadgetBridge and scanned for devices
- Nothing is found on scan

Update:
I noticed the option 'ignore bonded devices' was checked in GadgetBridge. If I uncheck this, then if I reset the watch (to either red or blue pinecone), then the watch appears on discover! It says that the watch is already bonded and gives the option to 'pair' or 'don't pair'. If I choose 'pair' it says 'trying to pair with already bonded device', and fails. If I choose 'don't pair' it says 'already bonded, connecting', and fails.

Note that the watch only appears on a scan once after a reset, then subsequent scans don't find it until I do another reset, when it appears again, but only once.

I wonder what to try now? Surely it's hopeful that the watch is now seen (under some circumstances), but how do I connect to it?

Hopefully someone can offer more suggestions, otherwise my new watch is useless :'(

Thanks,

Ralph
