I have never been able to use the app to connect (on iphone 5). I use telnet. I updated to the particle software and since then my core flashed light blue/white (cyan?) slowly. It isn’t in build.pariticle.io and the spark app just hangs on the “let’s connect your core screen” after I enter the wifi password.
It’s not flashing blue like wifi listening mode. It’s more like when your sketch is running.
When I try to use telnet doesn’t detect the core connected via usb.
When I try to reset it flashed yellow then white but just goes back to breathing cyan… I’ve tried different usb cords and plugs. I can’t get to listening mode. What should I try next?
Breathing cyan is just fine and once you’ve done a factory reset (blinking white), you have got the Tinker firmware running, which does not open a serial port via USB.
Although it’s odd that it can enter breathing cyan state after a factory reset.
If you want to put your Core into Listening mode manually, you don’t press the RST button but only hold down the MODE button (on an already powered Core) till the LED turns blue.
If you have issues with using your iPhone, it might be due to the fact that it tries to connect to 5GHz WiFi rather than 2.4GHz, but the Core can only connect to 2.4GHz.
Check if your router is set to use g/b only.
Correct, it should go into listening after a factory reset.
It seems as if the FR does not really reset propperly.
Could you try to do multiple (3 or 4) FRs in a row before trying to do anything else to the Core?
Make sure to wait till the FR is completely done before doing a subsequent one.

Neither one works, I think because even after restarting, and trying to factory reset over and over it’s still not in listening mode.
This helped I was able to get CLI to seem to acknowledge my core.

When I factory reset it flashed yellow, then white very fast. Then it goes to breathing cyan/ or white. It never goes blue. I can’t detect it over wifi with my phone or over serial OR wifi using CLI.
@futurebird, you are holding the mode key for too long and putting the Core into factory reset. For the particle flash commands to work, you need to let go the mode key when the LED is yellow (before it turns white). Then try particle flash commands.
