Is it really breathing, or is it blinking? How long have you waited before pressing reset? New photons will get a firmware update when they first connect, which can take a while.

What a coinsidence, there is another thread with a similar question Help with setting up Photon (stuck in safe-mode) And some other post of yours that might be related too About flashing again the firmware

my photon was behaving similarly to yours, after doing the update as suggested by @Moors7 worked fine and has since been working fine.

I have tried the following but still the photon after that breaths magenta, even when I push the reset button it starts 1) white 2) flashing white 3)flashing yellow 4) breaths magenta ioannis@ioannis-Inspiron-5547:~$ particle flash 2f0039000c47343432313031 system-part2-0.4.5-photon.bin Including: …

As far as i know it has to do part 1 before part 2. i just used the particle update command. nothing else.

Just typed particle update flashed magenta for about 10 minutes, pressed reset, flashed magenta for another 5 minutes, then reset itself, had to move it to within 20 feet of the router then it connected, after that it connects from other end of the house with no problems.

OK I will try it right now and tell you if that works.

NO nothing happens , I tried first the part1 , and then the part2 . And when finished still is breathing magenta I do not know how to update it. Is there a special comand?
