Updated firmware OBi 200/202/212 devices?
MSRobi:
It is possible that anybody at Polycom that knew how to maintain the firmware has left the company. There are plenty of signs that Polycom does not care very much about the consumer side of their business.
As a backup, I'm hoping a 3rd party can make the firmware change...I see a website obifirmware.com that is still running, I hope those people are still around and are able to do the firmware update if Polycom doesn't come through.

Jeezus, would you please stop spamming the forum with rumors/theories/guesses/speculation?
Poly is developing updated firmware. The details of how and when it'll be released is TBD.

This is your first concrete mention of this fact anywhere on this forum. Even in this topic as recent as July 10th, you wrote:
"The yet-to-be-determined issue is whether or not Poly chooses to do so."
which isn't very confidence inspiring. That is why I "spam" the forum, as you say.

The non-trivial part would be distributing the update(s) via a combination of pushing to devices that are enabled for remote updates, posting links for manual downloads of the firmware, and dealing with the thousands of people who have disabled updates without understanding what they've done, and then ranting and raging. It's going to be a shit-storm.
Don't forget the non-zero number of customers whose OBi's will fail the firmware update and/or the reboot (the flash programming fails, the power supply is right at the edge such that a reboot pushes it over, etc.).
"The firmware bricked my OBi!" will be the new rant of the day.
I wonder if Poly has a canary deployment process as part of their firmware pushes so that the thundering herd issue can at least be mitigated.

If you actually read my announcement on the Google Voice Help Community, then you wouldn't be posting these idiotic comments. It says, right there in my post:

Poly is working on a new firmware release. Hopefully, Poly will attempt to automatically update all devices that have not been disabled for remote, automatic updates. Devices that can't be updated automatically will need the user to manually download the new firmware and update the device themselves.
