Xenon stuck in DFU but no serial

Hardware
1

Hello all,

Looking for a little help on what i am hoping is not a bricked xenon.

On power the device goes straight to DFU and nominally within CLI can be flashed/upgraded. However, never re-sets after upgrade or moves out of DFU.

Item is discovered by device manager as USB but no COM is activated.
“particle usb list” shows correct device details also but nothing shows with “particle serial list”.

Have tried debugger but with no joy, presumably deeper issue with serial .

Any help appreciated.

Cheers

You may have issues with the device OS.
You can try particle update -v to get that straightened.

However, when the device is in DFU Mode it is perfectly normal that there is no USB Serial available.

Thanks for response.

Still no joy. Seems to update when trying but never restarts.
particle update -v outputs

Your device should now restart automatically.

Can you describe the steps you are taking with the CLI - which Device OS you are trying to load on the Xenon and files you are? I can remember seeing exactly this scenario when I accidentally configured the Device OS as the Argon version then loaded onto a Xenon - it appeared to work but then stayed in DFU mode flashing yellow.

You can also try particle flash --usb tinker -v for good measure.

tinker?
