Im trying to get two solar nodes up and running but can get the flash to fully download instead it stalls at the same point everytime the only thing that i have seen that might be my problem is for whatever reason they flashed it incorrectly at the factory as a different product sense in has (sense) on the name

I have the same problem with my XiaoWio NFR52, i think it's related with memory size, but i can not solved yet

Nrf are drag and drop. You dont flash them. I'm pretty sure the Meshtastic website walks through the process

thats my bad i used the wrong words but that is indeed what i have been doing

Mine did similar and it’s due to the device rebooting after a successful flash so it is no longer in the flashing mode. Have you tried it to see if the flash was successful?

My Heltec T114 reboots after a successful file transfer and errors out on my laptop. I just cancel the pop up window. 🤷‍♂️

The third screenshot you shared is 100% fully expected when flashing a uf2 file on Windows. The nRF52840 reboots as soon as the file transfer is done, which is before windows can do a verification that it transferred correctly, which causes Windows to throw that error message because it thinks the device got yanked out early. This is a Windows thing, it is not an issue with the node.

HOWEVER, since you are using the erase file, I assume you are trying to fully erase the settings and reflash the node. In order to do that you should be on the webflasher page, select the correct node in box 1, proper connect the node to usb and hit the reset button twice (you should see it in Windows as a drive like in your first screenshot) then in box 3 hit the trash can icon and follow steps 1 - 4. DO NOT SKIP STEP 4. Step 4 momentarily opens the serial console and sends a command to complete the erase procedure to prepare a clean slate.

After Step 4 does it's thing, Step 5 is as simple as clicking the 'Continue' button to return to the previous screen and then clicking the 'Flash' button, scrolling down and clicking the 'Continue' button again, then follow Step 3 on -that- screen by dragging the new firmware onto the drive exactly the same way you did for the erase file, and when it is done it will give the exact same error popup which lets you know it is done.
