Som of you have bricked your V2 in the last few days and you're supposed to send it to me to fix. The first unit arrived today and since if found out what went wrong and didn't have the instructions to fix it the "right" way, I decided to try another way which surprisingly enough worked.
You may laugh all you want, but there is a good chance it will work!
You'll need a bath towel and a hot water bottle.
Connect the USB cable to the Flashscan, but not to the computer yet. Fold the towel so it's just over twice the size of the hot water bottle and place the Flashscan keypad down on one side of the towel. Fill the hot water bottle with 170 degree water and place it on the Flashscan and fold the towel over it. Wait about 15 minutes, plug it in and try again. If it seems to work, make sure the water is still warm, wait another 2 minutes and try flashing the new boot block when Paul uploads it.
I cheated as I have a stock of the do not remove warranty stickers. I opened it up and warmed it gently with a heat gun.
Make sure the Flashscan gets warm, if not warm the water bottle back up.
I know it seems absurd, but electronics run faster at higher temperatures and the problem is a race which can possibly be won at slightly elevated temperatures.
There are limits to how hot you should get your Flashscan
