Good evening, dear developers. I enjoyed running the latest and greatest Momentum firmware, but somehow my Flipper now does not react anymore: No lights, no restart, no sign of life even after pressing all buttons for 30 seconds. How to revive my beloved Flipper? Thanks for any useable help.

Thank you. I would like to try the last method :If your device fails to display any images or respond to button presses". I am on Linux though, how to do it from there?

@shivagnihotri you install qFlipper on linux, no different than any other operating system.

Yes, I have it. But it does not recognize my Flipper. How to check on Linux if it is in DFU mode?

I just bought a fresh and high-speed USB-C to USB-C cable. Sadly though, my computer does not have a USB-C port and I currently have no adapter. Is there a way to run the recovery process through the Flipper-App on my phone?

I also can connect the Flipper with my phone via USB, but there seems no option to detect this connection in the Flipper app. Sigh...
