Particle photon flashing red - panic, assert failed

Firmware
1

Hi

My particle photon was working fine and suddenly after restarting it, it started to flash red

{“service”:{“device”:{“status”:“unreachable”},“cloud”:{“uptime”:22,“publish”:{“sent”:2}},“coap”:{“round_trip”:null}}}

The message in the console is panic, assert_failed

I have no idea what i can do to do a hard reset… I tried to enter in safe mode but it doesnt work. It start blinking green, for a couple of seconds it blinks cyan and then red… Then it gets restarted and it starts the process again

Any idea what i can do?

Thanks

Hi @javidr - will this tool work for you: Device Restore USB | Tools | Particle ?

If it doesn’t, try putting the device in DFU mode: Status LED and Device Modes - Photon | Tutorials | Particle and following the instructions here: https://support.particle.io/hc/en-us/articles/360046136473

For any reason it didnt allow me to go into DFU mode, but after some attempts it worked. Thanks
