PM3 possible issue

[psycosis]

I have just purchased as PM3 easy, i attempted to flash it and it didn’t generate any errors.
When its plugged in, it doesn’t make any noisy and the com port isn’t listed any longer.

Looking at the short side I have one white light on one end on the left of the USB port and light 2 is red and light 4 is green on the right side of the USB port. Not sure what these mean and how I can recover it. Need some help if i can to try to get this resolved. Not sure if i have bricked it or not.

Can someone assist, i followed these instructions as they seemed a lot clearer to me.

I have had tons of problems getting various Easy models to load rrg properly… it honestly takes a slog of different variations to get it working… I have two different Easy models both with 512k and both required slightly different approaches… one of these approaches tend to work; hold button down, power up, keep holding, run pm3-flash-bootrom, once finished, let go of button but let it flash lights and do whatever the heck it wants to do, see if com port comes back eventually, if com port app…

[psycosis]

Are you able to flash it if there is no com port listed?

[Pilgrimsmaster]

No, but if you hold down the button before plugging it in, you should see it pop up on your device manager.

I should ask, what platform are you installing on? Windows, iOS, Linux?

but if you hold down the button before plugging it in, you should see it pop up on your device manager.

you have to hold the button the entire time… starting before you plug it in and continuing to hold it until the bootrom flash process is done.

@amal

you have to hold the button the entire time…

Yeah, sorry if that wasn’t clear.
Hold NOT press and follow the guide I linked above.

You should hear it connect (on windows)

This is the status of the previous command run, so it looks like its partially there

[psycosis]

So when trying to run the flash-fullimage, then it doesn’t seem to like it and generates the message above. It doesn’t help that it reboots the device and then gives it another comport. If i reboot it again by pressing the button, it puts in onto the original com port but it gives the message above

[psycosis]

Thanks for your awesome help. To make it work i opened another window at the same time and it used to same com port, not sure why it changed it after a reboot.

Seems its all good now
