FlipperZero: Repair Process Success

 It's been a day now that I have tried to get my Flipperzero up and running after trying to update the firmware.  It has been stuck in DFU, unable to repair.    I have been stuck at the below screen now for 2 days, and unfortunately, the forum post was not getting anywhere. 


So on my primary computer, I reloaded the program twice, even tried switching to /dev branch of the qflipper program, same errors each time.  

[RCY] Set Recovery boot mode @Or1sha START
[RCY] Set Recovery boot mode @Or1sha ERROR: Failed to set Recovery mode: operation timeout
[DEV] Full Repair @Or1sha ERROR: Failed to set Recovery mode: operation timeout

Next, I tried switching to multiple USB ports on my machine and verified in the device manager that the right drivers were installed for DFU in FS.

STM (Reading the forums though it references WinUSB, at the bottom, it says they are switching to the STM), so it could get confusing.  

As a last resort, I pulled out another computer (Windows 10 also).   Installed qflipper, and then I got a bunch of C++ redistributed errors. 

vcruntime140_1.dll was not found

First I tried to run Windows Update, which took a few hours, but the computer has not been updated in a while.    Still didn't work, so then I downloaded the new C++ files, rebooted, and put the flipper back in DFU.

Once again the flipper was recognized as needing repair. I clicked REPAIR, and it worked, it took about 3 minutes to run through all the processes but I am up and operational on my FlipperZero now.  

Curious why my main machine did not like the USB, maybe there was a conflict that I was just not aware of, or something causing USB to disconnect after a few minutes.

FlipperZero: The Unboxing

I just received the FlipperOne in the mail today (I pre-ordered it last year I believe for my birthday).
And the inside of the box (Flipper looks snug, and secure in the box it came in)
I turned it on just to mess with it for a few minutes before I decided I should update the firmware (I believe it came with .43 and it's now at .55)
 
So off I go and plug it into my computer, dowload the update program qflipper (for the flipperone) and start the update process. And it fails... Also now it won't turn on and does not show any indication of charging... Bricked in 2 minutes, not fun.
 
Reading up on the forums and I could try and get it into DFU mode, also read that it should have the microSD card in (I thought that was only if you were adding something like Kali, not a requirement for updates)
 
Got it into DFU (Don't worry I will make another post about getting it operational). And reran qflipper, comes up as needing repair. So at least not totally bricked. Clicked REPAIR, and its fails agian.
I grabbed the logs, and left a forum post, as I did not see any of the same direct errors that mine was reporting. Now I am waiting for support from the community.
