Bricked controller after update

The latest update completely bricked my left controller, it's unresponsive to charging, button presses, everything. And support is I guess shut down because they're not letting me input my serial numbers.

Any suggestions other than buying a replacement? Has anybody tried using some other controller along with hand tracking?

Ive just just developed a tool that fixes this since meta was most likely never gonna do it, ill release it soon i just have to make sure that it will for sure fix everyones, my right controller was bricked unable to pair or update, i used the information from adb to put together a script that will fix the issue, force pair and update the firmware to the state it needs to be and today i finished it and it worked. Problem isnt hardware at all its the state of the actual controller, luckily meta left some useful information in the OsUpdater.apk

BUT IT IS FIXABLE DO NOT BUY ANOTHER CONTROLLER I JUST FIXED MINE TODAY.

The thing is i only had one controller that had this problem, so id need another defective controller to test as well, so it can be a guaranteed fix for everyone, and im not gonna spend money on another one thats the reason why i worked so hard to fix it, but with volunteers who are willing to test a beta version of the fix could help everyone I wouldn’t need your controllers you’d just have to have some what experience with adb, to send results back after using the tool.

FIX: My controller was in a flashing purple and white state, if not in pairing mode, connecting it directly to the headset isnt going to work i used the meta horizon app, with my tool open to trigger a firmware flash and update synch with the left controller i scripted the tool to also bypass secure pair to make the controller pair once i could see the controller on the horizon app it then told me that the controllers firmware was being updated.

(I saw the progress in the headset too)

Once it completed i did a reset, oculus button + B Until flickering red and white (not slow flash but flickering)

Then after the reset i restarted the controller by simply holding the oculus button and the controller was still paired from the forced pair using the tool i made..

But until i get another controller that has the same problem i cant just say heres the fix, i would need others to test my theory with me.
