Hi everyone,

I just got a Particle Argon kit and was going through the installation process. I am using the Particle app on my Android phone but for some reason I encounter an error after scanning the Argon Barcode that reads “Setup has encountered an error and cannot continue”.

I have tried using the Particle CLI and placing the device in DFU mode to run **particle update** and **particle flash --usb tinker** to reset the entire device back to factory settings but nothing seems to work.

I have also uninstalled the app on my phone and reinstalled it but nothing has worked so far.
