Hi, I need help with my Wooting 60HE.

A firmware update was interrupted (PC turned off), and now the keyboard is not working.

Current state:

No RGB, no response
Not detected in Device Manager
Appears as “Wooting Restore” in Windows 11 (Bluetooth & Devices)

Wootility (desktop & web) cannot detect it, so I’m unable to flash firmware.

What I’ve already tried:

Different USB cables and ports (direct motherboard)
Reinstalling Wootility (clean install)
USB driver reset in Windows
Recovery key combinations (ESC, FN + R)

Is there any way to force flash firmware in this state, or is this a bootloader/DFU issue that requires RMA?

Thanks in advance.
