Press then ENT key and power on, your Windows OS should recognize a USB drive and prompt you to format it. After formating , copy all folders and files under the filesystem folder to this USB drive. Re-poweron your devo, it should runs normally.
For detail installation of the deviation, please read the manuall

However, Deviation for the Devo8 should work ok, since we ship with the proper checksums (this is untested by me).
Please explain further what you see. I don't understand what 'just blinks' means. If you can get to the programming page, your transmitter is not bricked.
Do you just get a black screen when you reboot? does the power switch work?
Which Deviation firmware are you trying to use?
Try the experimental firmware here (it should work with the STMicro tool)

Make sure you 'Upgrade' not 'Upload'
hold 'Ent' when you reboot.

The transmitter is on the usb screen, when I turn it off - the usb screen just blinks. It will not shut down. When I turn it on - the screen lights solid again on usb.
I tried the dfu file you linked. Same result. I am stuck.
Is there anywhere I can get the old 1.4 dfuse tool from? Version 1.5 just gives me an "encountered an error" message and shuts down.

If you get a continuous reboot to the Programming screen, it generally means the CRC in the DFU is not right. The solution is to use the Walkera version of the tool. Again, don't panic. If you can get to the programming sceen, your TX CAN be fixed.
Using 'Upload' doesn't do any damage, but it will corrupt the dfu file, so you need to re-unzip/download it.

Did you get a Devo8 or Devo8S? FDR may know of a Devention version that worked with the STMicro tools (for a while they actually had the right checksums in there), I think he was successful in usingthe STMicro tool in the past. That would at least get you back to a usable Tx.

Yep, if you tried to "upload" it, that ruined you files.
Upload means saving from the tx to the PC, which overwrites the selected file.
So download the DFUs again, and try to "upgrade" again...

My step son has a windows 7 laptop. Am I correct to assume the 1.4 version is best to try with that? I have never used windows 7 so I am worried about any special procedures I may need to follow there.
I have also tried clean downloads many times now with the same result. Where should I start if I can get dfuse to run?
1. Download 100mw firmware from walkera.
2. Upgrade library with the lib.dfu file
3. Upgrade internal flash with devo dfu
Power off and hope it does not blink
Pray
Power on and cross fingers for something other than a usb screen.
Is this procedure correct?

Also i think I need some clarification on holding enter vs holding exit to restart. What is the difference? What damage could I have done holding the wrong one? I am not sure what screen I have anymore that I am stuck in. Usb or upgrade. Is there a difference?

holding 'EXT' will enter progrmaming mode (you'll get a color screen with a bar on it, and your Tx will be detected bythe DFusE tool)
holding 'ENT' is a Deviation thing to force the tx to mount the filesystem as a USB drive. It is only valid once you get a good firmware programmed
