@Chris-Stratton I'm not sure it is power but not really sure how I can test that? Currently it is drawing the power and serial via my MacBook Pro's USB port, if I power via a PSU I lose my serial connection to trigger the upgrade at all.

I did also try ensuring only the upgrade file was on the stick, it's very odd that the 4GB isn't working but the 128GB is. I am going to try and find a major brand smaller stick, Sandisk or whatever, just in case the stick itself is oddly configured/designed.

Any suggestions for how to test things are appreciated!

Unfortunately soldering things to the board just isn't an option because I will definitely destroy things with my soldering skills.

Really I need a solution to the flashing issue, if I can't use the ethernet option then I guess we need some alternative solution, so what are the ideas for that, short of soldering things? I really would prefer not to have to buy more things I have no room to store (tiny apartment problems!).

I wish it had been pointed out at backing time, I would have got the expansion dock instead of the power dock and just not worried about the battery things I wanted to test.

Basically: how do I recover the Omega2+ with the equipment I have already have? It's never worked and it starting to seem like it was a dud

I received it recently but I think it shipped early Jan if I recall correctly.

Ugh so basically there is no useful serial at all on the Power Dock? How frustrating. I can't try the Ethernet recovery option in that case. As it won't recognise any of my smaller thumb drives I am not sure what to try next to get it working! It never allowed connections when I got it either, I just wanna play with it!!

Hey @Ken-Conrad, the serial is working fine, it is flashing of the USB that is the issue on that dock, the issues on the Power Dock is that I can't get the serial (connected via the RX1/TX1 headers) to work at all.

Powered off my laptop via USB, laptop is a MacBook Pro (pre-USB-C)

I've tried 4 or 5 other USB keys and none of them power up when plugged in to the Mini Dock. The one that works is a 128GB Samsung one, the ones not working are various 4GB ones.

When I read that portion I get 26 7f d7 63 99 3 4e 96... (trimmed because it is 100 long). I will dig up another thumb drive and give that a crack just in case this one has some issue.

And this is what happens at boot after the flashing.

I did another attempt today using the Mini Dock but I am actually unsure if it finishes. Below is the attempt as it is in my terminal window after a few hours since hitting go. So at least uboot is a thing!

Hi All,

I was having issues with being unable to connect to my Omega2+ after it arrived so I though to flash it with the latest firmware after receiving the email from the team saying some issues had been fixed. I downloaded omega2p-v0.1.9-b150.bin and put it on a USB drive and then connected it to the MiniDock and started the process.

It now won't boot correctly, always ended up at a line saying "Bad Magic Number" even after re-downloading and flashing again in case there was an issue with the firmware image I had.

I have had no luck so was trying to do a recovery using the Ethernet method but can't connect to the Omega2+ over serial as I only have the Power Dock with the headers exposed for the ethernet expansion. I tried connecting a serial cable (like this: http://www.gearmo.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/GM-TTL5VT-UART-Pinout.jpg) to the RX1 and TX1 pins on the expansion but it is always blank so I assume from what I've read it isn't the same serial as the USB-to-Serial connects to on the other boards? (Why is that chip excluded on this dock?! So frustrating!).

So I am at a loss, what else can I try to de-brick my Omega2+ and get it working?
