If you happen to brick your device, it’s been suggested that version 1.6.2 of the updater software can recover the device. – I personally think the Live Audio mode sounds better, but if you don’t, you can switch it off again by holding the volume up and down buttons again.

#Jabra direct. update
If you have opted to stay with the same voice that you were using before – and thus, unable to tell at a glance if the update actually did anything, you can test the new firmware has been installed by holding the volume up and down buttons together for 5 seconds and check if Live Audio mode is enabled.

You will most likely have to remove the device from your Bluetooth devices and re-pair to start using the Jambox again. The updater program as seen on MacOS Sierra. Once complete, unplug the and power on the Jambox.Leave the system to update your Jambox, this will take about 5 minutes.A new window will open where you can select the firmware file you’ve downloaded.From the menu there, under Big Jambox select “Update from local DFU package” – don’t worry about selecting Big Jambox, it’s just that they use the same type of firmware file.Launch the Jambox updater and locate the icon in your system tray.Plug in the Jambox to your computer with the Micro USB cable.Power down your Jambox if it’s switched on.Now you have both the updater installed, and the firmware file of your choice downloaded you can now do the following:

#Jabra direct. download
Languages French (Français) Download Frenchīefore going any further, I highly recommend checking the md5sum matches the file you’ve downloaded as a bad download could brick your speaker. But just in case Jawbone decide to remove these files from their server, I have mirrored them here: Themed (English) Original Download Original A redditor going by the name DerDaku tracked down the last version (2.2) of the original firmware files for the Jambox on Jawbone’s AWS servers. Jawbone allow the user to change the voice on the Jambox’s aural menus, this was achieved by packing the same version of the firmware with different voices. Once you have this installed on your system, you’ll also need a firmware file. Unfortuneately, Jawbone have never released a Linux version of the updater software, a reason why my Jambox remained on version 1.0 of the firmware for so long. I can’t be certain any later version will work, and as Jawbone has a history of removing all trace of old versions, I have included this version here: At the time of writing, the latest version is 2.2.5. This can be downloaded from Jawbone after creating an account on their website. They will brick your device.įirst thing’s first, you’ll need the Jawbone Jambox updater. Do not attempt to flash these firmware files to a Big Jambox or Jambox Mini.

Note: The firmware offered here is ONLY for the Original Jambox. But for now, the original Jambox still works adequately.īut thankfully, it is actually possible to update the old devices to the last version of the firmware which Jawbone doesn’t make known on its current documentation. The batteries in these devices are marketed as “non-replaceable”, so the average user base will eventually dwindle to virtually 0 anyways as these batteries expire. The worst thing of all is that Jawbone’s original Jambox is still a perfectly good speaker, and it would cost virtually nothing for Jawbone to keep the firmware available to update older devices to the last version of the software. Heck, even my 10+-year-old iPods are still recognised in iTunes and can be restored to the last version of the software if required. This makes sense as their replacements are often faster and can support new features, but the difference here is that in most cases, whilst they don’t support their older devices anymore, they’ll still provide the last version of the software to allow those old devices to run. To put this into perspective, smartphone manufacturers will stop supporting their older devices when they get too old. This is terrible as it almost forces users to purchase another device to replace a perfectly good one. By this, I mean totally removing support for the device from the updater software, and removing the last version of the firmware from their website. Jawbone has since discontinued the original Jambox, and whilst this is to be expected – companies do this all the time to keep users wanting to buy their latest gear, Jawbone took the decision to pretty much give the paying customers the finger and removing all support for the unit. My original Jambox (Blue and White special edition) and its original box.
