Unrecoverable RoboRio with Unknown Firmware Version

Hello from team 5006,

Recently RoboRio's firmware was being updated and the power was cut to it. I have gone through the steps listed in the following error.RoboRioError.png

When I put the RoboRio in safe mode I get continuous blinking rather than the expected 3 blinks. My problem is nearly identical to the RoboRio's Condition in the forum post here (https://forums.ni.com/t5/Real-Time-Measurement-and/Unable-to-flash-a-roborio-Error-2147220335-occurr...)
Hopefully, the RoboRio can be fixed with ease. Thanks for the support.

Matt from Team 5006

Hi Matt,

 

Thanks for posting. Is this the original roboRIO, or a roboRIO 2?

 

Unfortunately, power loss during firmware upgrade probably left the rio in an "unknown" state (meaning, the rio won't know how to boot etc.); however, we have some options to recover it (and which step is next depends on the version of the rio).

Thanks for responding.
It is the original roboRio.

Since you haven't enabled direct messages, I sent an email to the email listed on your profile with instructions for using a USB file to re-flash the roboRIO. Please let me know if this works for you.
