Starling not arming

david devassy

Since yesterday, when I turned on the Starling drone, it just sits there. It's not getting armed. When I checked for ADB shell, it's not getting connected, and an error comes up saying no devices found. When I checked the forum, it said it might be bricked due to some file loss. We followed the unbrick tutorial, and after successful flashing of the latest QDL M0054.14.1a-flat-v3, the device is showing up as Qualcomm bulk something. However, ADB still isn't getting connected.
Please note that I am unable to enter adb shell and fast boot mode .

For unbrick I followed this

@david-devassy Hi David, we are sorry you are having issues. It does seem like it's bricked. If you follow https://modalai.com/rma you can send it back and we'll see what it would take to bring it back to life.
