Have you installed the proper drivers using Zadiq?  
What OS are you on?  
Can we get a Screenshot of the command prompt?

There’s risk of using Zadig. I’ve damaged my redbear duo using zadig.  
have you tried  
$particle list

I highly doubt that.  
zadig never gets in contact with your device. You use zadig to install the drivers to your computer and only the driver gets contact to your device.  
So I'd rather blame the chosen driver than zadig.
