For some reason I keep getting this error when trying to flash V3.0.1 via betaflight passthrough.
It keeps saying wrong target selected. RX is 'expresslrs module booting' what on earth is that?
The receiver also can't go into wifi mode, the light flashes fast but no wifi network can be found.
Any help is appreciated! Thank you so much guys!

Was it working normally before this?

bridge the boot pads..

#

or do the full recovery flash procedure

#

Follow these steps to recover a bricked RX:

- Move the 5v wire going to the receiver to a 5V pad that only powers on when a LiPo is connected 
- Disable Telemetry in Betaflight
- Save and Reboot
- Close Betaflight Configurator and unplug USB and LiPo
- Bridge the boot pads or hold down the boot button on the receiver
- Plug in USB
- Click "Build and Flash" in the ExpressLRS Configurator, selecting via Betaflight Passthrough method
- Wait for the line PASSTHROUGH DONE to appear
- Plug in LiPo (with boot button held down/bridged)
- Wait for the process to finish (with success hopefully)
- Unplug everything, unbridge the boot pads, then power on to confirm the LED blinks, and then goes into WiFi mode

I have no idea where the boot pads are. I dont think it even has them

is betaflight configurator open and connected with flight controller?

foggy sorrel
#

no sir I closed it

#

What is intersting is that I cant find a lin saying PASSTHROUGH DONE

bronze quail
#

Log says
could not open port 'COM8'

#

the port is busy

#

have you unplugged-replug the usb cable?

foggy sorrel
#

that is interesting. I have all my betaflight and blheli closed

#

let me try one more time

bronze quail
foggy sorrel
#

ok i managed to connect

#

I get a new error msg tho

#

A fatal error occurred: Failed to connect to ESP8266: Timed out waiting for packet header

Log says receiver is on uart1
serial 0 64 115200 57600 0 115200

is that correct?

foggy sorrel
#

yes

#

that's correct

bronze quail
foggy sorrel
#

it can power with USB plugged in

bronze quail
foggy sorrel
#

to be honest that was my bad, I dont have access to a soldering station right now

#

is there any way to work around that?

bronze quail
#

as long as you can power the receiver later (during PASSTHROUGH DONE) then that'll be sufficient..

#

how did you get the boot junction connected to ground?

foggy sorrel
#

i held a wire between gnd and that tiny pad you circled

#

that worked fine

#

you're such a beast. thank you for your advice. I really appreciate it

#

Im just so flustered right now

bronze quail
#

better wait to have access to a soldering iron..

foggy sorrel
#

curious why did you ask about uart 1?

bronze quail
foggy sorrel
#

would it affect anything if it wasnt uart 1

bronze quail
#

the error message shown is often attributed to incorrect configuration or incorrect wiring..
