I flashed my 1.0a and it works beautifully. There’s a really good tutorial on YouTube on how to flash it.
Reflashed mine as well. Never had any problems. It has been a while so i’m not up to date about current development, but this is where i got all the info i needed from: http://voltivo.com/forum/davinci
Good luck!
God I hope so, I’m just about ready, seen the greatest youtube video on how to do it, just haven’t found the time or courage to do it yet.
I Flashed my DaVinci 1.0A with Repetier Host 0.92. It’s really good, gives you total control over temps and speed. BTW the 1.0A can NOT be reflashed back to the XYZ Firmware, or should I say, I have not seen it done… yet
I’ve heard something about reflashing directly from within Arduino Environment. I had to reset/erase mine first by shortening some pins. Kinda freaky, because if that fails you’ll have nothing… In the end it turned out just fine, but I can understand the lack of courage bro
So sorry I don’t remember every single step, other wise I could’ve helped you out. But I hesitated for a while, and then just did it. And rushed it as well… But again, it works fine! so much better then XYZ’s firmware.
I reflashed mine. Its awesome. Ive never bricked it. But follow instructions on the internet. And you’ll be fine

Thanks ,I have seen the you tube videos, just waiting to do it,
Same method, you can flash your Da vinci 1.0 to any XYZ firmware or open source firmware. I haven’t try open source FW yet, but I downgrade/flashed mine to an older XYZ FW in order to use the filament re-setter. Without any hardware mistake, (like you short the board) you can’t brick the printer. If there is any error during flashing, just short the jumper to erase/reset the chip, and reflash it again.

I re-flashed mine with 0.92a less than 30 minutes after it came out of the box. Now way I was going to be trapped into using their mediocre $47/ kilogram filament. No way I was going to allow their software to connect to their server and do gawd knows what to my printer without my permission.
When they took my money, it became MY printer - not theirs.
Does anyone have information on flashing a DaVinci 1.0 AiO? I have the latest version of board in it and a little hesitant because I have seen nothing posted anywhere about the Aio.
was is the 1.0 aio that you flashed? if so can you please tell me how really need to get off the 1.1.6 firmware
have you gotten any info also have 1.0 aio with new board and desperately need to revert firmware back from 1.1.6
yes I agree its to easy for theses company’s to try and control our purchases
