Yep. On all 5 groupsets I've built so far.

So since one of the fixes seems to be pairing between levers and the RD in some cases, it could be that once I finally receive my RD, it won't connect with my levers (and I am pretty sure they have an old firmware installed, because I own them for several weeks already) and I will not be able to do the FW update without a 160 Euro computer interface? great, looking forward for that frustration already

I believe there is a work around where you connect one lever at a time using the wire to the battery with RD connected to the battery as well and do the firmware update. You do not have to connect the FD at this point because you want to use the wire for the FD to connect to the lever instead. Do the firmware update one lever at a time. Once you have done updating both levers' firmware, just try out the whole groupset first before installing them into the frame.mapaha2810 wrote: ↑Mon Nov 29, 2021 4:20 pmSo since one of the fixes seems to be pairing between levers and the RD in some cases, it could be that once I finally receive my RD, it won't connect with my levers (and I am pretty sure they have an old firmware installed, because I own them for several weeks already) and I will not be able to do the FW update without a 160 Euro computer interface? great, looking forward for that frustration already

Ah, okay So a wireless update is possible when I connect the RD with the battery and (a single) lever with the battery and use the smartphone app? If so, that sounds manageable before I do the final installationsurvivor wrote: ↑Mon Nov 29, 2021 4:54 pmI believe there is a work around where you connect one lever at a time using the wire to the battery with RD connected to the battery as well and do the firmware update.

So what happen if I don't update firmware and install them out of box? Do they still shift properly?
Yes, they should work fine...ipenguinking wrote: ↑Mon Nov 29, 2021 5:19 pmSo what happen if I don't update firmware and install them out of box? Do they still shift properly?
UNLESS the shift lever serial number's 5th character from the right is an X or Y. Those specific levers won't pair unless they're updated.

On the side of downshift blade, very visible. The QR code for pairing is right next to the serial number.
I'm thinking about pair RD, FD and shifters before install them on the bike.
1. Connect RD and FD to battery
2. Charge the battery via RD for an hour or two
3. Open the e-tube app on the phone
4. Set RD to BT LE connection mode
5. Pair RD and RD with e-tube app
6. Add shifters to e-tube app by scan QR code
7. Optional - Unplug FD and connect the cable to each lever for firmware update
Is this correct? I tried to read the documenations in Shimano's e-tube site and gave up.
Just checked mine and the serial number's 5th character from the right is NOT an X or Y. Waiting for the frame to arrive. Hopefully everything will be ok when I set it up.ipenguinking wrote: ↑Tue Nov 30, 2021 3:13 amOn the side of downshift blade, very visible. The QR code for pairing is right next to the serial number.
Yes that would work.ipenguinking wrote: ↑Tue Nov 30, 2021 3:13 amOn the side of downshift blade, very visible. The QR code for pairing is right next to the serial number.

Shimano tell you to link it all up before install and update shifters.
