Having trouble updating Cores

Troubleshooting
1

So recently, my cores had been acting odd so I read through the forums, and decided that the firmware may be out of date. So I went and tried to update.

First, I did the spark (now particle) flash --factory tinker,
which worked.

Next I tried to do spark flash --usb cc3000, which gave me an error stating that I was missing the gcc-arm-none-eabi. I now have that, and I updated all the spark (now particle) cli. However, I still get this:

Found DFU device 1d50:607f
Apparently I didn't find a DFU device? util said  dfu-util 0.5

dfu-util does currently only support DFU version 1.0

Any help would be fantastic!

There is no dependency for gcc-arm-none-eabi so iā€™m not sure where the error is coming from.

Can you use particle flash --usb cc3000 instead?

This problem looks like the one where dfu-util 0.5 does not like the :leave syntax. Maybe you should try updating your dfu-util to a more recent version.
