nRF51822 chip nRF5 DK chip programing error "Error when running operation: protection.get"

Hello Nordic Representative,

I am currently trying to program/upload a hex file into a new Bluetooth chip (nRF51822) using the nRF5 DK. ID PCA10028. I had previously been able to load files as need with the nRF connect, but I am now suddenly having an error that relates to the error of protection.get. I have tried to resolve this, such as using the nrfjprog --recover command, however this does not seem to work.  nRF Connect for desktop gives Device Protected 

The connection to the chip appears to be correct and everything else seems to operate the same as when I had previously worked on the chips. Attached is a pdf with the related images, both with the error of the connected chip to DK, the connection showing no issues with just the DK using nRF connect, nrfjprog results and a layout of the circuit setup as suggested by the following ticket.  Programming external board from nRF51-DK / nRF52-DK stopped working
