Starling not arming
-
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
