Garmin Edge 1050 doesn't appear to work

The Garmin Edge 1050 doesn't appear to work with OpenMTP on macOS 14.6.

@hoyhoy I borrowed a 1050 from the Edge team and can confirm it doesn't show up. I've opened a separate ticket here to avoid spamming the participants on the other closed issue.

Note to self:

There are at least two distinct issues. I've identified the issue with the interface string index and will be chatting with the engineers in charge of that code tomorrow. We're also apparently sending an empty product device descriptor, but I'll need to dig into that one tomorrow as well, since it's pretty late here.

Got it. Luckily also an easy fix. I'm not sure when the Edge team's next planned release is, but there are no changes to be made to OpenMTP.

@CodyJung,

I have a couple of choices here:

1. Make a patch to go-mtpx to work with the current index string and device descriptors.
2. Since the Edge 1050 is a relatively new device with gradual adoption, and I foresee an upcoming device update to support MTP software, I could wait for the Edge 1050 update rollout.

Do you have any suggestions?

[CodyJung]

For recent products in maintenance I think most teams target about a quarterly update, so I would suspect a release in a month or two (but that’s just a guess - I don’t have much insight into their schedule).

I would lean toward just waiting, personally.

@CodyJung I'm a recent adopter of the 1050 and confirm I have this issue too (no surprise). I just wanted to modify startup.txt. I'll watch for the next firmware update on the Garmin forums.

With macOS Sequoia Version 15.0.1 (24A348) and the latest Garmin 1050 firmware update v10.19 this still doesn't work.

Sorry, I forgot to follow up here! I got my patches in after the cutoff for 10.xx, so I would watch out for these changes in 11.xx. I suspect they’ll be starting a new beta cycle soon.

OK. Thank you. I'll wait for the next release. I don't want to participate in the beta cycle. Garmin release versions are more than beta enough for me. ;)

Seems to be fixed in the beta 11.17 firmware that was released for the Edge 1050.

See https://gathering.tweakers.net/forum/view_message/80591834, report is in Dutch but it says that OpenMTP works with Edge 1050 with beta 11.17.

I just connected it with 11.24 and it still doesn't work...

[hoyhoy]

OpenMTP now says, "OOPS YOUR PHONE HAS GONE CRAZY".

The ancient Google Android File Transfer DMG works with the 1050 on firmware v11.24. Definitely something wrong with OpenMTP for sure.

:( I’ll need to borrow a device on Monday from the Edge folks again to investigate further.

I just updated to 11.24 and OpenMTP is working for me. You have to get the 1050 into the right connection mode – as shown in the attached photo – and click the refresh button in OpenMTP.

After connecting the 1050 and starting OpenMTP, you might need to power cycle the 1050 to get it in the right mode.

Not sure. Everything seems to be working on my end. You’re up to date on OpenMTP too? (Like you have my original changes to support Garmin devices generally?)

Note my prev msg. Works for me. Maybe others aren't getting their 1050 into the correct connection mode?
