And the wiring photos?
pine stag
Can't see the recevier side wiring
true thorn
wdym?/
oj
its at a weird angle and it impossible to pickup wit the cajmera
but nothings bridged and tx to rx and rx to tx
pine stag
Ziptied to the top of a burning hot VTX is probably not the best place for it
But wiring looks correct
What happens if you try flashing via Betaflight Passthrough?
true thorn
wher is that

Is Betaflight open?
true thorn
yes and connected

Post the !log
pine stag
now it failed for some other reason
Are you following the guide? 
pine stag
No CLI available. Already in passthrough mode?, If this fails reboot FC and try again!
Did you do the second line?
pine stag
Make sure Betaflight is closed. Unplug everything. Plug in USB. Click flash

What is the LED on the receiver doing when you try to flash?
Is it blinking slowly or on solid?
true thorn
its solid
pine stag
Can you disconnect the TX and RX wires from the receiver and see if the LED blinks?
If it does, move it to a different UART. If it does not, do a !recovery flash or flash via !FTDI
thorny basaltBOT
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 "Flash" in the ExpressLRS Configurator, after 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
Comprehensive guide here: https://www.expresslrs.org/quick-start/unbricking/
Here are some examples of FTDI (USB-UART) adapters that can be used to flash ELRS hardware:

would it be because my radio is connected
pine stag
Your radio should be off
true thorn
it wont work
pine stag
What does the LED on the receiver do when the radio is off and the TX and RX wires are disconnected
true thorn
stays solid
true thorn
thats the part tat wont work
pine stag
recovery
Does the receiver LED light up when you plug in USB, or only after you plug in a battery?
true thorn
only battery because i switcged it to a battery pad
pine stag
And you are plugging in battery after PASSTHROUGH DONE appears, and while holding down the boot button?
true thorn
yes
pine stag
Get a FTDI and try with that, or replace the receiver
true thorn
ok
