Firmware update for Thingy 91

[Andrew8691]

I cant seem to get the Thingy 91 into boot MCU mode, so that I can update it to the latest firmware.
No matter how many times I try turning the unit off and powering up with the larger press button held down, the firmware programming returns an error complaining that the unit is not in BootMCU mode.

Is there anything else I could try?

I appreciate your help with getting the firmware up to date.

That is my pleasure :-) And thanks a lot for the feedback!

Just to make sure that I do not miss anything here: has this issue been solved or is there anything more that is not working for you?

Regards,

Markus

Hello Markus, thanks for following up. I did mange to program the firmware I think, but I can find any way of getting status back from the Thingy91. I can see that it is present when connected to my laptop, but the nRF Connect tools seem to fail to return any status from it - and the blue light has stopped pulsing. I have also been unable to add the device to the nrf Cloud Connect - it says that the device has not been provisioned yet (though I have registered the SIM and provided the Device ID and PIN numbers. Any thoughts on what I could try to verify that my Thingy 91 is not brain dead?
