    Hello,

    I have tried the web based interface for unbricking my VOXL2 device but no success. It fails on CDT flashing.

    Device shows up in QDL mode
    Qualcomm, Inc. Gobi Wireless Modem (QDL mode)

    I am familiar with using QDL so tried my own install I use for my work devices and this is the output of flashing which I find very strange

    LOG: ERROR: Failed to open device, type:UFS, slot:0, lun:3 error:3
    [PROGRAM] failed to setup programming
    
    

    I have never seen this "weird" error before. I get this trying to run the same commands that the python scripts do in the web interface.
    Are there any suggestions on how to proceed to unbrick this unit?

    Thanks,
    Brian

      After trying the web interface as well as command line I am still not able to successfully flash the image. I keep getting the same error above. Regardless of what position the switch is on the device only shows up in QDL mode.

      If there is no other method for force flashing the device (There does not appear to be any physical switch or button other then the one) do I need to submit an RMA?

      This device worked fine and was finally able to get the cameras and everything working and it just stopped allowing adb and not showing up on my Linux PC. bummer
