Flow is paired with controller fine. Want to add my phone now. In the Vive app, it detects the device and presents a screen where I'm supposed to put in four numbers shown on the device. The device shows the numbers. But the app does not. If I just click "connect" anyway, the app then just shows a spinner forever. Phone is iPhone 11 Pro Max

Are other people seeing issues using the controller? Generally it's extremely shaky compared to the phone-as-controller. Also, scrolling is pretty broken. I can see it responding, start to scroll down for example, but then it pops back up to where I started.

@crispy71 I tried again yesterday, and I was able to complete the device update. A red herring was that I was attempting to determine device connectedness using adb, but that doesn't work w/ devices in fastboot mode. Enter download mode via the following steps: * unplug Flow * hold down power and volume down * plug in flow, without letting go of the buttons It then entered the first state described in my second comment above. I was able to update the device using the firmware and flashing process linked in my initial comment above. Note - I had to run the flash script and force-kill it (ctlr/cmd+C) a couple of times before it got far enough along. Seems to hang on the battery check command on my device. Maybe doesn't happen for everyone. In fact, IIRC I opened up the script and run some of the commands manually without the battery check line. Sorry, don't remember exactly.

Hm, ok if I hold down power AND volume down I can get into a mode which has the following: * system info * show barcode * reboot to bootloader * reboot to download mode * reboot * power down `adb devices` still doesn't list anything though, so the flash script fails. This must be download mode, since choosing "reboot to download mode" comes back to this screen. Choose "reboot to bootloader" gets me to bootloader screen, which has more choices, like "reboot to recovery". `adb devices` in bootload mode still doesn't list anything, so the flash script fails. Going into recovery mode, more interesting choices: * Apply update from ADB * Apply update from SD card * Wipe data/factory reset * Wipe cache partition * Run graphics test * Run locale test Choosing "Apply update from ADB" sounded promising, so chose that, and sure enough the devices shows up in adb device list now, but with the word "sideload" next to it, and no other adb commands work. Feels closer anyway. I wonder if maybe there's a way to sideload the update ROM? At the least, the support document should be updated to say to hold down power and volume down, not just volume down.

I have a Flow that was previously paired to an Android phone I no longer have. Saw the January update added iPhone support. Trying the instructions here: https://www.vive.com/us/support/flow/category_howto/how-to-update-vive-flow-to-support-iphone.html However, holding Volume Down button and plugging device into USB-C cable connected to macOS laptop never enters download mode as described in that page. Instead, it just shows the screen saying to install the Android app. I've tried resetting to factory settings but no change. The Vive app on iPhone detects the Flow but cannot connect to it. Thanks for any help!
