Flashed wrong firmware
-
Couldn't get onion2 to connect to wifi networks and after trying various fixes suggested in the community I figured I'd flash latest firmware from USB and try again.
Accidentally downloaded and flashed onion2+ b140 firmware to onion2. Dummy. Now I get fatal exceptions and reboots even when attempting to flash correct firmware. Couldn't figure out much of use in the command line boot menu option. Figure I'm bricked but any ideas would be appreciated.

So there's the ethernet option:

But I'd probably be better off just buying another omega2 since I don't have the ethernet expansion. Anything to be done from the command line boot?
-
The instructions at http://community.onion.io/topic/1154/omega-2-usb-firmware-install-after-brick-resolved don't work for you?
-
Those are the instructions I followed to initially install the incorrect version. Now when I try to do it with the correct version on USB it fails and loops ending with this then restart.

@Barry-Borgleson Well, I guess there isn't anything you can do, then, without the Ethernet-expansion. Sorry.
-
That's what I figured and mostly wanted confirmation that I shouldn't waste time trying to figure it out.
Totally my fault for downloading the wrong firmware version but still frustrating that wifi never worked to run oupdate.

I was able to get the image loaded into memory using the u boot command prompt (option 1 on the boot menu after holding reset during boot). However, I can't boot the image once it's in memory. I get a bad magic number error. Anyone familiar with u boot have recommendations?
-
Bad Magic Number,FFFFFFFF = Blank or NON existent Flash Chip
Try a USB Upgrade.

I loaded the b143 image to memory address 0xBC050000 instead and then was able to boot it from u boot but I got the same fatal exception and reboot which was confusing.
However, then I tried flashing from USB again and it worked this time so now I'm up and running. Not sure exactly how that worked but learned a bit about u boot.
Edit: Am now able to connect to wifi without issue as well. This is resolved.

@Barry-Borgleson glad to hear you got it working!
@Larry-Pinney lol code bogarts. we have no intention of hoarding source code, but as you can imagine we've been pretty swamped. we will release our source code. thank you for your patience and support
