  • This is how I fixed the red flashing light issue of my BOSE Soundlink Mini II Bluetooth speaker.

    Business Inquiries or Collaborations: razvanyke (at) yahoo (dot) com
    The first time when it happened I could downgrade it to the old firmware, the second time there was only one version - the current one, but I could update it and it worked.
    If the speaker cannot be found on the BOSE website, it can be that the cable you are using is not compatible, it happened to me already. Try again with another cable.
    This is the link:
    community.bose.com/t5/Portabl...
    1. Download the software updater btu.bose.com/#section=install
    2. Connect the speaker to your computer with the mini USB cable.
    3. Go to the btu.bose.com site
    4. Wait until it connects to your speaker and gives you the software version.
    5. Whatever happens, you need to update the firmware (either upgrade or downgrade). That's what needs to be done in order to reset the fault firmware.
    6. To go in advance mode, you need to press these keys in order: 'a', 'd', 'v', 'up arrow', 'down arrow' and then you see the menu. I wasn't able to change the version BUT, I updated it to the current version once again and it worked.
    7. At about 80% you'll see the red flashing light go orange and there are beeps and things, after this simply let it charge and you are done.
    9. Since then I decided to keep the speaker always in its dock to be charged and I did not get this error again ever since.

    In case this doesn't work, following the same steps and typing O, P, T, Up, Down (instead of A, D, V, Up, Down) and then following the instructions on screen to "Clear Errors" (which clears any error states the speaker might be stuck in) is what did it for me.

      @@tobylowe7888 If you mean that O, P, T, Up, Down is not doing anything: Did you install the Bose Update Installer? You have to do that first. If it's not doing anything after you already installed it, went through the steps in the video, and clicked on "Clear Errors", then that's just not what's causing your problem ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ If it's just because the red light's still flashing: yes it will, but the speaker will charge normally again if you connect it _to the Bose charger_ (or a charger with equivalent voltage and amps).

      @@dhananjaykadam2786 Output 5V-1600mA. But there might be some hardware in it that communicates with the hardware in the speaker. Bose seems to indicate that in certain error cases, you need the original charger, not just a compatible one... Then again, it might just be a marketing thing 🤷‍♂

      @@razvanyke it really did work. Just FYI, I had let the battery on the Bose Mini get too low, 10%. I plugged it in to charge, there was an initial response, then when I came back a few hours later the red light was flashing. I tried several things recommended on other You Tube videos, including pressing the middle button for 10 seconds, nothing happened, factory reset - nothing happened, connecting to Bose Updater - it said my firmware was up to date. I was definitely stuck. I looked again thru the You Tube videos and watched yours because your video title was so specific. The guidance to open up the Advance Settings on the Bose updater site was pure gold. Maybe you could include in the title something to do with this - it's the one piece of info the others don't have. Well done!

      @@razvanyke Sadly, it worked for about 20 minutes and then reverted to the red blinking light :( :( :( I'm emailing Bose to ask them what to do. It's obviously a software issue and I don't see why I should have to pay to get it "repaired" when it's an issue of their own making.

Don't need to be a tech wiz to follow either - you literally just press those keys on your keyboard (I was using a Mac), while sat on the plain webpage, a menu comes up and you just choose to update the speaker (even if its the same software version).
