Particle PHOTON Red/Blue ligths issue on DEV

[rtorre]

Hello everyone!..

I have a problem with the PHOTON. When i going to upload a new code from Particle DEV, the PHOTON give me a Red/Blue ligths at the same time…a do nothing…

All of thesse days i was working normally and there is any problem…

Only i can revert this lights to fading blue, making a reset from the mobile app o uploading the code from de Web Build , (on this way works well…)

Any suggestion?

I think you are seeing the same issue

Photon is in safe mode after flashing

Hello? I have two photons working until last week. But, today it’s in safe mode after flashing. I have tested with Web IDE/Particle Dev and blink test application. The application is so simple. There must not be any problms I think. How can I make it work again? I have updated the firmware to 0.5.1 but, it doesn’t work. Please help me… Thank you.

From any update, maybe?..

As I said in the linked thread

@ScruffR

That's due to the recent release of the official 0.5.1 version which supercedes the release candidate versions and rendered them unavailable on Build.

Dev always builds for the latest available official version (currently 0.5.1), but if your device's system has a lower version the device falls into Safe Mode and should be helped out of that state by the so called Safe-Mode-Healer which doesn't seem to kick in correctly.

So when you flashed your last app code, you got a 0.5.1 app, flashed it to you not-yet updated device and fell into Safe Mode.

You could get out of this via particle update or just flash a simple 0.5.1 sketch via Build which will auto-update your Photon.
After that you can reflash your desired code via Dev again.
