Stuck into DFU mode with my Electron

Hi,

I tried to flash my Electron with my own program and now I’m stuck into DFU mode.

First I compile my program.

particle compile electron Vacuum-MPXV4115V.ino --saveTo firmware.bin

Compiling code for electron

Including:
    Vacuum-MPXV4115V.ino
attempting to compile firmware 
pushing file: Vacuum-MPXV4115V.ino
Memory use: 
   text	   data	    bss	    dec	    hex	filename

grabbing binary from: https://api.particle.io/v1/binaries/56d0cd2b792eec5741e2269a
Compile succeeded.
Saved firmware to: /Users/miotang/Documents/firmware.bin

Work well !

Next, put my Electron into DFU mode.

And flash my Electron :

particle flash --usb firmware.bin

Flash success!

…and now my Electron’s stuck into DFU mode, and I can’t do anything with it.

Please help me !

Does it still stay in DFU mode after you power cycle?

Please be sure to have upgraded to the latest version of the CLI.

The dfu-flash address is wrong, which has caused your system firmware to be overwritten.

This can be fixed by running particle update, and then reflashing the binary.
