How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Do not interrupt power during firmware recovery attempts. Avoid opening the robot unless instructed by support.
- 1. Soft reset: Perform a factory reset using the button combination described in the user manual or app. This may clear minor firmware issues.
- 2. Reattempt firmware update: Connect the robot to the iHome app and check for firmware updates. If available, apply the update with the robot on the dock and a stable Wi‑Fi connection.
- 3. Power cycle: Turn OFF the robot, wait 60 seconds, then turn it ON again and observe behavior.
- 4. Contact support: If E20 persists, contact iHome support for model-specific recovery tools or firmware images.
- 5. Replace main board: In cases of severe corruption or MCU failure, the main control board must be replaced. This should be done by a qualified technician.
