This is something the hardly ever solves anything but often enough causes additional issues - so it's best to avoid that.

How did you do that exactly?

You can try

```plaintext
particle flash --usb tinker -v
particle update -v
particle flash --usb tinker -v

```

Additionally to some possible issue with the current firmware state of your device another reason for that issue could be that your MODE/SETUP button got stuck in the connected state or you have something holding the MD pin low.
