issue with bose protocol in the latest version of RM
Posted: Tue Feb 10, 2026 8:25 am
Hi, I spent the last few of days tearing my hair out trying to create a simple device upgrade for a Bose soundbar - only 3 keys - how hard can it be 
RM 3.2.11 could not create a working upgrade using the Bose protocol and the 3 OBCs I learned, but eventually I discovered that RM2.04 could, so used that to finish my project.
After some digging around in protocols.ini I found that for the Bose protocol:
RM 2.04 has "CmdTranslator=Translator(comp,0,8,0)"
RM 3.2.11 had "CmdTranslator=Translator(lsb,comp,0,8,0)"
Not sure when it changed or why, but removing "lsb" fixed the problem for me.
Posting incase this might help someone else.
Cheers and a million thanks to everyone who helped helped create and support this project over the years.
