Title: OBI 200 - Can't provision GV - "Firmware upgrade needed, cannot upgrade"
Post by: dcatl on December 18, 2018, 06:54:37 PM
Obi seems to provision ok at obitalk.com.  (Visible in dashboard)

Status in dashboard is green ball (Online)

When I click "Google Voice Setup" button in dashboard, I get "Firmware upgrade needed.  Cannot upgrade XXXXXXXXX since it is offline.  Please try again when it is online."

I am getting a dialtone from Obitalk and can dial the test number and ***6

Firmware is showing as 3.2.2 (Build 5921EX) in Status / Product Information.

Is this a spurious message or is there really new firmware that I need to install?  The device is brand new out of the box.

Thanks!

"Spurious message" is a perfect description.  Your device already has the latest firmware installed.

I suggest deleting the device off of the OBiTALK portal have a nice evening, then add it back again tomorrow and try again.

I had same issue so I used *** to access the OBi config attendant from my phone; then selected Option 9 to reboot; then OBi200 allowed me to successfully setup GV.  :)

same issue for me.

Brand new out of the box

HardwareVersion   1.4   help
SoftwareVersion   3.2.2 (Build: 5921EX)

I've tried factory reset, deleting adding device, checking voice prompt for firmware update (none needed). I've unplugged and replugged and I factory reset via the phone prompts as well

As this is a multi-user reported problem, it's likely a OBiTALK web portal failure.  Open a ticket with Polycom for help.

Same here - just got new Obi200 and keep getting the same error whole day. None of suggested workarounds worked.

There IS NO workaround.  It's broken.  I reported it to Polycom about a half-hour ago, and got a reply that their engineering team is working on it.  Be patient and it'll get fixed.

Google Voice setup is working for me now. I think Polycom resolved the issue after all our open support tickets

I submitted a Support Request regarding the issue and received ZERO reply. As far as I am concerned there is no customer support and any support fees are unjustified.
