Bad blocks???

[vanhawk]

Hi all,

Attempting to get my tetra back online. Received the "Bad Magic Number" error and attempted the factory recovery using the factory.bin firmware. This did not work.

I decided to watch the firmware upload and install process on the uart port. The upload completed and then I receive the following:

A whole bunch of "bad block [long number]" ending in:

...

bad block [1225768960]
bad block [1226301440]
Skipped 2304 bad blocks

ERROR

NAND write: device 0 offset 0x0, size 18874368 ...  18874368 bytes written: OK
web failsafe upgrade failed!

Using eth0
MAC address: 0x0:0x3:0x7f:0x9:0xb:0xad
HTTP server is starting at IP: 192.168.1.1

Any ideas? I verified checksum etc to ensure the .bin file was good.

Thanks,

Johan

I have tried all the factory restore steps again and again to no avail...

Sounds like wrong firmware or wrong device. Like trying to flash a tetra FW onto a NANO for example worth double checking and re-reading the docs

Hey,

I have also checked this, but to ensure I did I re-downloaded the tetra factory recovery file (tetra_factory.bin) and follow the reset instructions again. I have a TETRA for future reference.

Any other ideas I can try?

Thanks
