I have read through the many posts on this topic, and have tried steps laid out in them with no success. If I go to dfu mode and try >particle update I get:

! An error occurred while attempting to update the system firmware of your device:
dfu-util: Invalid DFU suffix signature
dfu-util: A valid DFU suffix will be required in a future dfu-util release!!!
dfu-util: Error during download get_status
Any suggestions?
Also, I’ve tried the manual install. Part one installs fine, for part 2 I get:

It's successful. That error is a known bug. Could you try flashing tinker as well particle flash --usb tinker?
Still getting the get_status error. As before, it is blinking two quick green flashes, followed by a pause.

Actually, It is working now. I needed to combine all of the tips it seems. Thanks for the help Moors7! For anyone who comes across this, here is what I think I had to do to cure the solid green light...
Install all of the tools and manually flash part 1 and part 2 of the firmware as explained in the documentation section. Expect a get_status error on part 2.
particle flash --usb tinker
expect another get_status error
Reset and hold down the setup button until you get the flashing blue light, then connect as normal.
