I may have bricked a ThinkNode M1 due to a flashing mishap. It just says, "loading" but the firmware payload never seems to start. Attempting to use the web-based flasher causes Chrome to lockup at the select USB device popup.
Holding the reset pinhole button at the bottom just power cycles the device. No failsafe mode.
Is there a way to fix this locally from a Linux machine? #meshtasic #meshcore

@profoundlynerdy@bitbang.social I‘ve had the same behavior. Somehow I managed to erase the M1 and reinstalled the firmware. Connect USB and double click reset button. Installed the bootloader and reinstalled the firmware, if I remember correctly. Good luck!

@profoundlynerdy@bitbang.social boot into some clean os like from LiveCD and try flashing again? I doubt you can brick those devices even if you wanted....
