1.7.7

  • Roll out started 2024-12-16 (check mobile app for availability)
  • Roll out completed 2025-01-14 (update available to all users via the mobile app)

🐞 Bugfixes

  • FIX - Fixes device hardware identification issues that could lead to the following errors:
    • MISSING SERIAL NUMBER - This error renders the Yeti unable to discharge (via output ports), charge (via input ports), or connect to the Goal Zero mobile app.
    • INV SKU MISMATCH - This error renders the Yeti unable to discharge (via output ports), or charge (via input ports), but it is able to connect to the Goal Zero mobile app. Customers experiencing this error should pair the Yeti with the Goal Zero mobile app and then perform a firmware update to v1.7.7.

[!IMPORTANT] If you are experiencing the MISSING SERIAL NUMBER or INV SKU MISMATCH errors, we have released a beta mobile app that is able to recover the Yeti Serial Number as well as install the v1.7.7 firmware update. Join the Yeti Recovery Tools App Beta program to get access to the beta app. For more information on recovering the serial number, see the Yeti PRO 4000 Help Guide.
