Hi Lucas,
Glad you resolved the issue with dropbear.
The reason the factory reset button doesn’t work is because this only cleans up files that exist in the overlay, whereas when you flash a new image, the files are updated in the RO image partition. I’m surprised swiflash doesn’t work though. Does swiflash fail to connect to your device?
A couple of things to try:
- update your swiflash from the Source. I think some of the older versions may have corner case connection issues
- if that doesn’t work, install the WP85 Windows drivers from the Source and plug your FX30’s into a Windows machine. Look in Device Manager and check to see what’s listed in the Ports and Modems section. If you’re seeing a DM port, then your device is able have new firmware installed. You can try using the Windows fdt2 tool or try swiflash again in Linux
- if you don’t have a Windows machine, in linux, do an “ls -la /dev/ttyUSB*”. If you unplug and plug in the FX30, do you see 3 or 4 ttyUSB devices?
- if you don’t see the DM port or the ttyUSB* devices come up, then try disassembling the FX30. You’ll need a Torx #6 and a #1 Phillips, and then follow the procedure here:
[fx30] Bricked after AT!RMARESET=OEM (USB device not found)
