I brought an used SparkFun Photon RedBoard off of Ebay but when I used tinker to setup up the board, its stuck at verify device ownership. I try erase and resetting the network but still stuck at verify device ownership. Are there anyway to get around this.
@ScruffR, the device finally work with tinker but I am still puzzled at what happened. The tinker app was clearly stuck at verify device ownership when I disconnect everything after waiting few minutes. The status of the device was blinking cyan, assuming in listening mode during the stuck. I try few times before but it said verify fail. I was able to see the device in dashboard. Then after unplugging the usb cord, exit tinker and when to bathroom and reconnect the usb cord; I see the device in tinker online and was able to use tinker to test it without flashing tinker into the device. So I am puzzled!
Another question, once the device is claim, could the previous owner be able to access it or see it in their dashboard?
