@tompoland - Really odd. I’ve not seen that contradiction before. In your spot I’d guess a hardware issue. Not sure if anyone is working at Aillio till late Sunday (US, MST) but a Trouble Ticket might be in order.
All fixed. Big shout out for Matt Yau who actually called my mobile and talked me through the fix.
Matt sent me a link to download roastime v2, i used that and the manual bootloader technique again first, then successfully updated the firmware and now the bullet is running from v3.2.4 happily once more.
Thanks for such great community support and hats off to Matt and Aillio for such great customer support. Makes me very happy that I bought an Aillio.
