Trying to make my first step the particle cloud. Not so lucky sadly.
I’ve bought a Photon that I would like to use for a wearable project. Started with the assumption that the app would work. Sadly it didn’t discover the Photon. I am using a Samsung Galaxy S7, and discovered that someone else had the same issue too, so I decided to take a different route. For a previous project I had Node.js installed but that wasn’t working as expected, some trouble shooting with updates, permissions, etc. Then it was finally able to install Particle-cli. I started the Particle setup procedure. Everything went fine until it started searching for available networks. It didn’t find any so I aborted the procedure and started the manual way. Entered the credentials and send it to the Photon. It then took a very long time and nothing changed. So I disconnected the Photon and when I powered it on again it booted into Hard Fault mode.
I managed to flash the 6.0 firmware to the Photon but when it leaves the process it goes back straight into Hard Fault mode. Flash procedure: 3 red quick, 3 red slow, 3 red quick, 1 red, 3 red quick, 3 red slow, 3 red quick, 1 red, 1 short blue, 1 white. And then the whole flash procedure starts again.
Beneath this is a copy of the latest terminal code. I’m on a mac El Capitan, version 10.11.6. Tried multiple usb cables and ports.

Make sure your device is in DFU mode (blinking yellow), and that your computer is online.

Due to time issues, I got a Photon from a friend. This one was immediately visible from the Samsung Galaxy S7. Which makes me doubt that it might be an issue with the wifi controller? Also because the Photon seemed to get stuck when I send it the final credentials during the setup with Particle-cli.
That’s not your device ID. The easiest way to get it is to hold down the SETUP button until the main status LED blinks dark blue, then use the CLI command:
Thank, you the problem is that it will only enter DFU mode, the listening mode is impossible to get. So or I must have misread it but I was unable to find another way in the documentation to discover my ID.
You need to power up first and then press and hold SETUP till it starts blinking blue - not like Safe or DFU Mode where you first press and hold SETUP and then tap RESET.
When I try this it gives one red blink (from the Hard Fault error message), then blue led D7 goes on and the main led starts blinking Violet, Yellow, Green, White; white pulse and again Violet, Yellow, Green, White, white pulse. The moment I let the setup go it goes back to red, Hard Fault.
You can’t get in Safe Mode either?
If you can, you could first enter that end the try Listening Mode from within SM.
But if you can’t, you may want to open a support ticket to get a replacement.
successfully before right? Cos the keys swapping denied.
. Allright, I will open a support ticket. Thank you all.
