People often pull the cable instead of depress the connector for proper removal. Is there any chance you have a cabling issue? This is the most common cause of failure.
Assuming you don't have major software changes, we're not tracking any issues that cause random flight reboots.

It sounds like the M0141 issue you might be having is very similar to this one:
https://forum.modalai.com/topic/1356/sentinel-drone-randomly-reboots/2?_=1790714717250
It's important to use 5mm spacers between any VOXL 2 plug-in board, especially if it only picks up J3 and not J5, since that leave all the pins on J5 vulnerable to contacting circuitry from whatever plug-in board is installed. Symptoms from that contact are most certainly proven to be resets and brown outs, as we have seen that before.
If you are already using spacers between your board, then I'd need to think about other potential root causes.
Hope this helps.
Thanks!
Vinny

One was a floating point math fix that is in newer versions of PX4.

The other issue is that sending in trajectory setpoints from your external application, even when in altitude mode, will go straight into the position controller and affect flight. So, I would only send those in when in offboard mode.

The ghost atto only connects one wire to the VOXL RC RX pin, but the ELRS receiver will also require a connection to the VOXL RC TX pin, otherwise the wiring is identical. Pre-crimped wires can be found easily for the JST GH connectors (J19) to make adding connections simple.
*You could leave the receiver's RX line (the VOXL's RC TX) disconnected; this would make updates and other control using the voxl-elrs application impossible but basic RC functionality would work.

05c6:900e QUSB_BULK is not EDL (that is 9008). It is the SoC crash-dump mode, so the board is attempting to boot and failing before the OS comes up. Since Sahara/Firehose completed with the correct M0054-2 image, the flash contents are unlikely to be the problem. In past cases a board that returns to 900e after a successful QDL has not been recoverable by reflashing (https://forum.modalai.com/topic/1468 and https://forum.modalai.com/topic/3263), and a similar Sentinel case came back from RMA as a damaged main board (https://forum.modalai.com/topic/2131).
Two things worth ruling out first. Pull the VOXL 2 out of the drone and boot it bare with every camera and add-on disconnected, since a mis-seated camera connector produced this same 900e state once (https://forum.modalai.com/topic/3230). Then re-check the steps at https://docs.modalai.com/voxl2-unbricking/#if-the-device-still-shows-900e-or-boot-loops-after-a-successful-flash and repeat the flash once.
If it still comes back as 900e, an RMA is the next step: https://www.modalai.com/pages/rma. Include the serial number and QDL log. Keep the crash dump private, support can request it if needed.
