Unable to claim a Photon

  • Your CLI is not most recent. It should currently be up to 1.38.0
  • You should run particle update to get your Photon to 1.0.0 (via DFU Mode)
  • After that run particle flash --usb tinker (in DFU Mode again) - no need to have the device claimed for that
  • To claim the device it needs to connect to the cloud (breathe cyan or magenta)
  • Then you can claim it via particle device add <youDeviceID> or via Web IDE adding the device there as shown here
