I want to flash my vac with Valetudo - my goal is to run-only, no cloud. But I read through Valetudo's instructions and it's too scary for me. I don't think I have the skills to solder a board together and I barely understand all the steps. I can follow instructions, but there's one point where they say something like "do these few steps within 180 seconds or you may brick your vacuum" - that's too much risk for a ~$1000 vacuum. I didn't upgrade the firmware on my vac, so maybe someday the process will be slightly easier and I'll take the risk.
I specifically bought my vacuum as their recommendations say. I have flashed two Dreamee D9, it worked flawless. If you want i'll look into the manual for your's to state if the procediure is the same.
Edit: just looked it up. I did UART, not Fastboot method (which is required for yours)
Thanks for checking. So I'm still too scared at the moment. :)
