robawesome Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 Are you using the latest version of the role changer? https://community.viveport.com/t5/Developer-Support/Vive-Tracker-Role-Changer-current-version-1-0/td-p/18263 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HackPerception Posted June 26, 2018 Share Posted June 26, 2018 , please confirm the version of the tool that you're using. What is the behavior that you're experiencing? Does the behavior produce any error codes or does it simply refuse to revert to your desired role? The 1.0 version that linked works with newer firmwares and has additional recovery tools. Please give that a shot if you're on an older branch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahmad.farooq Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 I was using v0.8, I 'll definitely give v1.0 a try. the issue I am facing is actually the firmware had been updated while the tracker was in controller configuration. and now when I connect and try to change it back it says no or multiple vive devices connected so unable to change the role. I will try the newer version and let you know if it works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahmad.farooq Posted July 2, 2018 Share Posted July 2, 2018 This is the error i keep getting even with the V 1.0 Role Changer... I have connected only the tracker and no other vive device and i still get this error. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robawesome Posted July 2, 2018 Share Posted July 2, 2018 I assume you tried the reset found here: http://community.viveport.com/t5/Developer-SDKs-and-Downloads/Vive-Tracker-general-FAQs/ba-p/5465 It says to plug the tracker in to your PC and press the button for 10 seconds. Also I use an old laptop for all my role changing, that way I don't have to exit/close VR or disconnect any gear because I don't have anything attached to the old laptop. I started doing this because I would get the error that something else was connected on my gaming rig. Come to find out it was my TP Cast software running in the background causing the error.

robawesome Posted July 2, 2018 Share Posted July 2, 2018 Here is a procedure for fixing firmware in a controller, not a tracker: https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/SteamVR/HowTo_Update_Firmware#Controller_Firmware It describes how to boot a PC connected controller while pressing the trackpad button, putting it into a "USB Drive mode" allowing you to copy new firmware to the device. I know this is for a controller not a tracker, but if you were to connect pogo pins 2 (ground) and 5 (trackpad button) as you powered up, maybe it would have the same effect? Just a theory!
