Brand New Tapo D235 Stuck in Firmware Update Loop (1.1.19)
Hello everyone,
I’ve just purchased and set up a brand new Tapo D235 doorbell, and I’m experiencing an issue right from the start.
🔄 Problem:
The device keeps prompting me to update to firmware version 1.1.19. I run the update, it says it’s successful, but when I go back to the home page it asks to update again. This loop continues no matter what I try.
✅ Troubleshooting so far:
- Performed the firmware update multiple times (shows as successful each time).
- Confirmed the firmware version after update is 1.1.19, but it still asks to update.
- Factory reset the doorbell and set it up from scratch.
- Tried updating while placing the doorbell right next to my router for a stable connection.
- Used both an iPhone and an Android phone to attempt the update, same issue on both.
💬 Additional context:
Considering I have just opened and installed this brand new device, this is very disappointing and not the experience I expected. I rely on it for security, and it’s frustrating to have issues straight out of the box.
❓ Questions:
- Has anyone else faced this issue and found a solution?
- Is this something that requires Tapo support to push a manual firmware validation or provide a direct firmware file?
- Should I consider requesting a replacement if this cannot be resolved quickly?
Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance.
