Jambox 1.6.2 Software For Mac
I've found myself in the same position as many other people in this thread and on /r/jawbone. I tried updating my (original size) Jambox using the DFU posted in this thread, the updater seemed to freeze/crash then it gave an error, leaving my Jambox bricked with no lights coming on and seemingly no way to reset it. Jawbone is the.tiest excuse for a company ever, I could write paragraphs about how shameful it is but I'll focus on just trying to get it working. I also have managed to brick my original jambox with the latest updater.

'Broken Hardware'. 'Recovery needed'. I spoke with Jawbone today and they said they don't have a copy of the original updater.
Seems unbelievable. I went through the usual method, and picked the mini jambox thinking it was mine, not realizing the original is now a legacy device with no support. How the updater would even allow an incompatible device to partially connect seems ludicrous. The website itself is awkward, making you download the updater each time. They offered me a 25% off coupon. LOL Does anyone have the original updater and/or.dfu file for the original jambox. I have tried hard and soft resets to no avail.
No power, no lights. I would try a command line operation if someone knew how to point me in the right direction. Has anyone found a solution?????????????? There is NO way these guys do not have the original files, this is ridiculous and warrants a suit to me. They sold the original Jambox until not too long ago and to do this to people is just stupid. I do have a question though and maybe someone here could be so nice to help or dig into some old backups for me!!
I need ANY.jbz for the original jambox voices. I preferred the arcade ones but when I ran the update here I lost them and can't get them back b/c they do not offer them anymore either - just stupid!!!
Hello all, i recently picked up an original jam box off ebay which had come off an unused display stand but the software was for demonstration so it did't operate quite right. So i decided to update it. Well in a 3 hour period i bricked it and got it working again with a lot of googling so i decided to make this guide to make it easier for people. 1)First off don't use the current update software off the jawbone website it will brick your device (not to worry if you have this can be fixed by following this process). Uninstall it if you have. 2)to update you need to download and install the 1.6.2 updater which can be difficult to find and download so i have a Dropbox link here 3)Next you can download the latest firmware with a voice (read the section on the app below on how to find samples of each voice) of your choosing from the following tread, provided by 4)all you need to do then to unbrick and/or update your device is with the switch on the jambox in the off position (lowest) connect it via usb to the pc the Jawbone logo in your tool tray (Bottom Right) will turn black to show its connected (hopefully).
This double click the firmware you have downloaded and in the centre of your screen a little window (Some time is will be hidden behind all of your windows so minimums them to find it) will appear with some information. Click OK and the Jawbone logo should go red and have a steady increasing percentage when you hover over it.
It will take up to 5 to 10 minutes. The there you have it, it should come back to life and/or be updated. This has un bricked my device which i had tried updating with the new program and that had crashed and it had been unplugged so as it goes i hope this will work with any case of bricked orginal jam box. Also as i really wanted to change the name of my JamBox i wanted to get the android app. You can find this by searching for 'JawBone JamBox APK' in google.
Or just follow the link below. The app gives you a bit more control over the settings and it allows you to sample the voices.

Overall this is a Awesome little speaker but the company has cast it to the wind and that is a real shame as i my opinion it is better than the newer ones. The fact they don't provide any support in by simply providing the old software which would fix so many peoples problems and by removing the app for the device from the play store and in doing so removing functionality is downright disgusting. I hope you find this information useful and that it saves you the time i spent gathering it.
