It is most often used to flash Custom Firmware via the site’s CFW tools.

IAP is based on an internal tool by Ninebot for flashing rental scooters.

In version 2.2, IAP began supporting limited functionality over BLE or Bluetooth.

This meant no IoT port was required to interface and flash the scooter!

Requirements

The only requirement for using IAP is a windows computer with a Bluetooth 4.0+ adapter that supports BLE.

If you are unable to connect or find your scooter in the scan menu, you may need a new Bluetooth dongle.

Past that, IAP only works with OEM or high-quality clone dashboards.

Connection Procedure

Begin by downloading the software directly from ScooterHacking.

Open Ninebot IAP and click “Start Scan”.

Scanning for an ESX.

Select your scooter from the list of BLE devices.

Scanning for an ESX.

If no options come up, you may not have BLE support on your device.

Press “Connect” and wait for version numbers to appear in the upper right-hand box labeled “Installed firmware”.

If no version numbers appear but IAP says you are connected, you may have a clone dashboard that is unable to support flashing.

Colored non-zero version numbers show a successful connection.

From here you can change the region, flash stock firmware, and more. Happy Hacking!
