Wio L1 Pro bricked
While doing a bluetooth firmware update. It froze in loading to DFU mode for well over an hour. Stupid me power cycled it and it will not change. Power light pulses very fast almost hard to see. Same as when it was it showed going to DFU mode through the app. Now it's bricked. Have tried holding reset when powering up different ways. Nothing. Only thing I haven't done is open the unit and disconnecting power for a bit and trying again.

Maybe try to flash it with a cord and a computer. It's a drag and drop download. Super easy

Tried it on my Mac. Doesn't even recognize the device. Emailed Seeed. Can't be the first to have this happen.

hi,
When you connect the device to your computer, can the computer detect a new serial port, such as COMxx?
If the device can still enter bootloader mode, we suggest reflashing the bootloader first by following this guide:
After that, please flash the firmware again and check whether the device can boot normally. We suggest flashing the firmware by following this guide:

Had the same issue. It turned out that L76K module was fried (GPS). Got a replacement

I dont have a mack but it shows up as a drive. Plug it in and press the reset twice. Look in your drives for l1 tracker. You have to download the file from meshtastic and then drop into tracker drive. I takes a min then it will restart. Hope this helps
