ST-901 No matter what it will not come online
Just wanted to show a full log line as well, this is directly from the tracker-server.log
2026-01-20 01:07:00 INFO: [T3d2d96c6: h02 < 0.000.000.000] *HQ,0000000000,V8,000700,A,0000.0000,N,00.0000,E,0.00,0,200126,FFFFF9FF,234,21,8208,131255318,13,11,119,0#
A single line from logs is not enough. You have to provide lines before and after, of course.
@Anton The logs are literally all just that. Its device connected, then just
2026-01-20 01:07:00 INFO: [T3d2d96c6: h02 < 0.000.000.000] *HQ,0000000000,V8,000700,A,0000.0000,N,00.0000,E,0.00,0,200126,FFFFF9FF,234,21,8208,131255318,13,11,119,0#
or
2026-01-20 01:07:00 INFO: [T3d2d96c6: h02 < 0.000.000.000] *HQ,0000000000,V8,000700,V,0000.0000,N,00.0000,E,0.00,0,200126,FFFFF9FF,234,21,8208,131255318,13,11,119,0#
Theres no errors no nothing, im on the default level of logging.
I get a very different result.
Oh interesting, whats going on on your end then?
Your sample is decoded correctly for me.
How does that look? Does it output something differently in the log and not just the info bit like mine does? In the meantime ill try updating my traccar although it isnt particularly old
Just updated the server, am on 6.10.0 now. Its still logging the exact same things as before and its still showing as offline.
Logs below are again redacted somewhat (this is taking me forever to post it keeps saying too many requests)

Once you upgrade to the latest version, let us know.
Im on 6.10.0 is that good enough? That was latest about a day ago when I did it but still no luck
That was latest about a day ago
That's a completely false statement.
Oh, I updated traccar like this as is reccomended by the documentation yesterday
sudo cp -r /opt/traccar/data ~/traccar_data_backup
sudo cp /opt/traccar/conf/traccar.xml ~/traccar.xml.backup
sudo cp -r /opt/traccar/data/media ~/traccar_media_backup
sudo systemctl stop traccar
sudo dpkg -r traccar
cd /root
wget https://github.com/traccar/traccar/releases/download/v6.11.1/traccar-linux-64-6.11.1.zip
sudo unzip -o traccar-linux-64-6.11.1.zip -d /opt/traccar
sudo cp ~/traccar.xml.backup /opt/traccar/conf/traccar.xml
sudo cp -r ~/traccar_media_backup/* /opt/traccar/data/media/
sudo systemctl start traccar
sudo systemctl status traccar
When I said I was on version 6.10.0 its because I looked at my version by going to traccar url/server/api and in there it says version 6.10.0. And then sent it here in that post
I dont quite understand how that would be possible though considering that in these commands I have stopped and overwritten the traccar install, is there something ive missed here or another way to view the current version?
In your steps I don't really see where you actually install the new version.
oops- May have slightly forgotten to do that, I updated it and now it shows 6.11 as it should and now my tracker works too, thank you so much for your help!
Hiya im having an issue with an ST-901 tracker I purchased a few days ago from the official sinotrack aliexpress store. Its the 4G global one with 4 wires.
Ive tried adding it by the ID on the back of the tracker which is the same id the server recieves in its logs when the tracker tries to communicate, however no matter what I do the device will not show as online on traccar. An example of these logs is below with all data that may be considered sensitive concealed. The id has been replaced with 0000000000 as i am not sure if its sensitive or not, it is a digit id like that.
Looking at the traccer logs theres usually around 8-12 of these with the V tag indicating a lock not found and then one with an A tag. This is within a window of less than a minute. It is worth noting the tracker is currently on a bench powered with a 12v adaptor which is likely why there are so many V ones.
Using the protocol recognition table I deduced that this is H02 and so the tracker is sending it to port 5013
I also tried all the reccomended clone ports
5001- offline
5002- offline
5006- offline
5013- should be this one but still shows offline
5015- Weird device ID would connect for half a sec showing online then dissapear, this is huabao
5023- offline
5036- offline
5093- many errors
Ive tried a variety of things in my config to try and get it to show up such as an ACK etc but still nothing works.
I have also tried prefixing the device ID with one and two zeroes with no difference, I have also tried using the IMEI of the sim card and that did nothing too.
I even did a pcap dump on my sim card to confirm the data being sent from the tracker is like the one I showed earlier.
Please some one help me out here I feel like I have tried every option and just nothing is working
