I'm doing some work with the nRF51822 smart beacon kit. I tried to do an over the air firmware update of the application, but kept getting dfu invalid state (2) errors after progress got to 1%. I tried to reupload the original precompiled hex application from the firmware files, with the same result. Device appeared to reset and go into advertising mode after any attempts to update the application file.
I figured the failed update may have caused other issues - so I tried to update the bootloader with the one from the precompiled hex folder (along with a init.dat file that was correct). Also updated the softdevice with an unaltered copy as well. Both failed in the same way as the application update. Now the device seems to be stuck in programming mode (blinking blue light), but now does not reset into advertising mode if the firmware update fails. I can still connect to the device to begin a firmware update normally, just the update fails.
I'm doing the update through the nRFBeacon Android app, and also tried with the Master Control Panel app. Phone is an LG L90 with Android 4.4.2. I saw that one other person had an issue with updates with 4.4, so I'm wondering if it's the phone and whether buying the nRF51822 dev kit might help and offer a hardwired option for updates to the beacon.
In any case, I would appreciate any advice on how to get the thing back to a factory state (if I haven't completely ruined it).
