most of my photons have gotten setup without a problem (go team!) but one is having a weird setup issue. the iphone app wont set it up (same problem as shown in the video) and doing this via serial has the same results. once i provide the wifi credentials, it flashes green, then cyan rapidly, wi…

Apologies but this will be the least comprehensive resolution steps ever. Managed to get the things to reset and wipe wifi credentials by holding and the rest and setup buttons until blue light came back. In this state I checked thje firmware and both devices were on 0.3.1, whereas the latest firm…

I’ve done this as well, successfully according to node.js, but still my Photon blinks blue and then bursts red.

Try particle update and particle flash --USB tinker both in DFU mode. That might help :slight_smile:

Unfortunately, it did not :confused: Still cyan blinks with burst red. To address @kennethlimcp I used particle serial identify to find the device ID. It does give me a serial error, opening COM6 access denied. Anyway, after that I put the device into DFU mode (yellow blinks) and ran particle key…

I suppose you have replaced dev_id with your actual device ID. You may also want to shoot this after particle keys doctor <yourDeviceID> particle keys server And make sure your CLI is 1.16.0 (or newer)

Whoah! :open_mouth: That did it! :smiley: Device is connected, back in my dashboard as well and uploading is going great again. Many thanks :smile:

Hi guys, having a nightmare here with a soldered in photon flashing cyan/red… Tried everything in this article (with an updated CLI): - particle keys server cloud_public.der - particle keys new - photon particle keys load photon.der - particle keys send 430032000F51353338363333 photon.pub.pem…

Can you post the output of these commands? (in Listening Mode blinking blue) particle identify (in DFU Mode blinking yellow) particle keys server particle keys doctor 430032000F51353338363333 And also a video of the blinking LED to see what exactly we are up against?

Having a look at the output of particle update wouldn’t hurt either.

Thanks for your quick replies. @ScruffR ; Response to particle identify Your device id is 430032000f51353338363333 Your system firmware version is 0.5.3 Response to particle keys server Found DFU device 2b04:d006 checking file C:\Users\dcsim\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules\particle-cli\keys\rs…
