Hi, my photon got blinking magenta slowly after firmware update. I tryed to restart device, and Photon's LED workes: soid white -> blink green -> blink cyan first -> blink magenta slowly That color is not listed in the troubleshooting guide [image] Spark Core Troubleshooting Guid…

Blinking magenta means OTA firmware downloading in progress. Is it an entirely new Photon?

Thanks @kennethlimcp I got blinking magenta “very slowly” like blink cyan slowly when successfully connected particle server. blinking is continuing about one hour. I guess it something error happens in device. This photon is shipped last month.

It is breathing magenta?..like fade in and out?

If it is breathing magenta, it means that it does not have any user firmware on it. Flash some code to it. [image] Breathing Magenta two new photons Getting Started I have two new photons just out of the boxes. both do the same thing. I get them connected to my wifi and…

It is breathing magenta?....like fade in and out? yes, this is it. https://photos.google.com/share/AF1QipNdWSPM5h3E4c7wRCvOvN1X-yYrhSV58o32PfeDBrcBk0zL4AJa6PH_kUJDKxkJpQ/photo/AF1QipPZGzq_3_CmJfsRmzNdfIkFLzS4RuOZb_N6ktj_?key=enBNT1BQWkdkblp0M01VUkJpWEc1Z29seEFiV2l3

The following occurs: The D7 pin Blue Light blinks for a second->White light blinked once ->rapid green light blinking ->cyan light blinking comparatively slower -> brea…

If it’s in Safe Mode, you should be able to flash new code to it. Photons should automatically update their system firmware to match the user one you’ve selected, whereas an Electron won’t auto-update, leaving you in Safe mode if user firmware > System firmware. With a Photon, flash new code. With…

Hi Thank you for the reply. Even after flashing new code it was not exiting from the safe mode. [image] Photon breathing magenta[SOLVED] Firmware Hi All, I need some help with local compile I had it working a few days back but now it does not work at all for me. To try …

[image] Moors7: Using the CLI, in DFU mode, that should be 'particle update', assuming you're on the latest CLI version. Glad to hear the issue is resolved. For completeness sake, I'll assume you've updated the system firmware using DFU-util? If so, then this should've given you the same. …
