devo 8s bricked? was created by kos

Hi Guys, during the firmware upgrading accidentally I've put the switch off. Since then it is completely dead. Is there any method to bring it back to life?

disconnect the battery, turn off the tx, check that the battery is changed, reconnect the battery, hold the EXT key and turn on the Tx.

It is (nearly) impossible to brick a Devo radio during programming. The above process should get you going again.

Let me add my thanks as well. Something similar happened to my 10 - the dfuse upgrade just failed. The battery connect/disconnect brought it back to life.

Do not ask me questions via PM. Ask in the forums, where I'll answer if I can.

My remotely piloted vehicle ("drone") is a yacht.

I have tried flashing rebuilding the library
but the only way to gete it to work is as I have described

I don't know, but I'm thinking put it into USB mode and format/erase and copy on a fresh copy of the file system. First make a backup of the models folder so that you don't loose any of your model files.

Once you have it working you can then try copying back on your model files.

Here are some links I've found while searching for a solution. Until someone comes on with the right solution you might want to try these:
