Amazingly, I just left the bike to it this morning, and it did it by itself without any help from me.

The android app, however, is still useless, and can't connect via Bluetooth.

Zero really needs to up their game in the software department.  The bike's software is sketchy.  The app is almost useless.  Firmware upgrades other than at the dealer are frustrating at the best, impossible at the worst.  My "connected bike" shows it is not connected 99% of the time.  For cutting edge tech, my SRF's software features feels like it was designed by amateurs.  Maybe Zero needs to invest some of the money they are getting from all the bike sales into getting a better software team.  Sorry about venting my frustration but I just spent the last hour trying to update my firmware from the app and got no where.
Totally agree - bike is absolutely from the 2020's and software is still back in the 90's. It's laughably bad :-(

The complaints on this thread all seem to center around using the app to initiate the update.  Has anyone received an update notification on the dash and completed the update without using the app?

Me! Which is odd because I've not got the app to work for 6 months and the time before that I couldn't get the bike to do it on its own.

My SR/F showed the update a few days ago.
Update failed when I tried it on my bike directly. Was hanging for >20 min. in
"Installing ...
Rebooting ..."
before it apparently aborted and presented an error.

A second try via app/mobile phone finally worked.

Really annoyed by the bad software quality Zero provides.

I updated successfully yesterday through my Android phone. Did not notice any improvements though, but the MC-season did not really start here yet so maybe I will notice something when I start riding more. :)

I still cannot connect to the bike remotely through the cell though, this used to work, maybe I need some subscription? It was really handy to see the charge status when waiting for the bike to charge before.
