nRF54L15 Bricked After First Flash – Unable to Recover via J-Link or nrfutil

Hello Nordic Support,

I’m encountering a critical issue with the nRF54L15 device, custom board.The custom borad is flashed from nrf54l15dk ,PCA10156. After flashing firmware (blink example) once, the device becomes undetectable and unrecoverable. No further access via nrfjprog, nrfutil, or J-Link Commander is possible.

  1. Device is initially detected and flashed successfully

  2. Try to debug from rtt but can not concted

  3. Try to erase and recover

    • nrfjprog --recover

    • nrfutil device recover

    • J-Link Commander (JLinkExe)

  4. All recovery attempts fail with errors like:

    • Device error: Unknown device family

    • Failed to write DebugPort register 0x04

    • Timed out trying to power sys and debug region

Error like below :

PS C:\ncs\nrf_est> PS C:\ncs\nrf_est> nrfutil device recover x Failed to recover 1057768715, Device error: Failed to write DebugPort register 0x04: Unknown Error in J-Link DLL (error code =-1) Error: One or more recover tasks failed: * 1057768715: Device error: Failed to write DebugPort register 0x04: Unknown Error in J-Link DLL (error code =-1) (Generic)
