Hello,  
I wanted to reply as a comment to this :  
[https://community.particle.io/t/photon-flashing-cyan-and-blinking-orange/21530/29](https://community.particle.io/t/photon-flashing-cyan-and-blinking-orange/21530/29)

But it’s closed. So I am opening a new thread.

I am observing this pattern on my Photon,  
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I1ws0DLVbKE](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I1ws0DLVbKE)

My Photon ends up in this mode after some time of operation which is random. I don’t have the issue of corrupted keys as my Photon recovers after I press Reset. Not sure what’s causing this.

Thanks  
Dheeraj

Can you place it in safe mode?

I will do a `particle keys server` in DFU mode.
