Chosen Solution
I just bought a used Megaboom 3 which on arrival turned out to be a demo unit. I have read lots now about the demo units only being different due to the firmware version which disables bluetooth and requires a permanent USB cable connected to work. Other people have been successful with earlier versions of the speaker in downgrading the firmware to the proper user firmware, but the apps I have are not working for this so far. I have the current version of the update assistant from the UE website which tells me the Megaboom is up to date (and has no option to thus do anything else), and an older app UE_1.3.91_x86 which does not recognise the speaker when the USB cable is connected. Is there another version of the update app that will work with the megaboom 3 specifically and allow me to downgrade it please? I’d be incredibly grateful as I was hoping to give this as a present. Thanks
Hey Jim, I found another Update-Assistent version 1.4.37. This version is definitly working with the Megaboom 3. (https://ultimateears.us2.list-manage.com…) I had another problem and was able to fix my Megaboom with this version. I would be happy if you could share with us your progress :) Best Vin
I think you need to speak with Ultimate Ears support to see what they say.
