Dear all,
I’ve been facing problem with my particle photon.It continuously blinks red and then disconnects itself and restarts and same goes on and on.I think my photon has gone in to SOS mode.I have gone through various discussion made in this community regarding similar problem.
What I’ve tried so far to repair is:
Put in to DFU mode(yellow blinking)
C:\Users\Nasee>particle update
> Your device is ready for a system update.
> This process should take about 30 seconds. Here goes!
! System firmware update successfully completed!
> Your device should now restart automatically.
> You may need to re-flash your application to the device.
3)again ,gone to DFU mode and
C:\Users\Nasee>particle flash --usb tinker
Found DFU device 2b04:d006

Flash success!
after doing this , same thing happens , photon blinking red and restarting time and again
Please help me!!
I had a Photon doing the exact same thing recently and no matter what I tried I could not get it back into a usable state. I think if I had a JTAG programmer it would have worked but I just ditched it and bought another.
I tried using the CLI to run the device doctor, loaded Tinker via DFU USB, Updated the Photon’s firmware, none of it brought it out of the SOS mode. Safe Mode would just go right back to SOS flashing. Nothing helped.
I’m pretty sure the Photon was hit with a high voltage ESD spike in a prototype setup.
