Alright so just bought about a week ago my Osmo action, so when I turned it on it said that needed to activate and upgrade the firmware.
It failed halfway throught, I tried again as soon as I reached home and it supposedly completed.

After the upgrade I was looking for the Hyperlapse feature and there is no where to be found. Out of curiosity I tried searching for the "Arabic" language as supposedly was included in the upgrade, well nothing.

So is there a way that can "Force" to reaply the firmware upgrade or should I just return it?

I have downloaded and copied to the root of the SD the file Firmware 01.06.00.20  and just nothing happens.

Ive search everywhere for the hyperlapse option and only have video, hd video, photo and timelapse without hyperlapse.

Any help would be awesome! else will need to return this :/

I opened the SD card and saw a new file created with this text:

[00002142]

is there anything wrong?

If you go to the About section, what firmware version does it show on the device?  To get to the About section, drag from the top of the screen, choose the little gear looking thing on the top right, and then scroll all the way to the bottom to find the About page.
Mine says: 01.06.00.20(6984)

Hi,

Connected the Osmo Mobile to MIMO app I dont get any prompt for upgrading the firmware.
I have also downloaded the firmware and copied in the root of my SD card, even do a factory reset but I dont have any prompt to update the firmware not any of the new features including hyperlapse.

I just bought it a week ago, is there any other way to reflash the firmware or do I need to ask for a refund for this cam?

Please advice.

No prompt to upgrade the firmware, even after factory reset dont get any of the new features.

Thanks mate, I took it back to the shop I bought and they confirmed that there was an issue with the camera, It looks like the device firmware failed to be applied properly. I got a replacement camera and got eh new firmware on my new camera. Tested and its pretty cool to have all the functions
