FYI, the key to manually putting the board in bootloader mode is applying power while the BOOT button is depressed. The RESET button effectively breaks power, so the sequence needs to be releasing RESET before releasing BOOT.
You could achieve the same result by holding BOOT, plugging the USB in or pulling the kill key to provide battery power, then releasing BOOT.

Just saying that pressing the buttons “at the same time” is not exactly how it works.
When doing it that way, if it seems to work sometimes but not others, it’s likely just a matter of how your fingers come off the buttons, and the times it works is when you are releasing RESET slightly ahead of BOOT. Failures when it’s BOOT released first.

Thanks Brian,

I actually knew this and was being lazy about writing out exactly what I did. Sorry about that.

I didn’t have any indication that it was in boot loader mode and just posted. Then immediately tried uploading my config again only to have it work…. So I just panicked for a sec and jumped on here.

respect for admitting that, and I’m sure that we have all done that at some point or other in our journey to being PROFFIE MASTERS. lol.
