How to reset firmware of LinkIt ONE

Hello,

I have an issue with my LinkIt ONE board. After unsuccessful firmware update it started to make problems connecting to any computer.
If I plug it in it connects only for about a second and then disconnects. I observe that in Device Manager from my Windows 10. When connected it appears in Ports section with name "MediaTek USB Port (COM3)" and after 1-2 seconds it disappears. That cycle repeats after 35 seconds if I leave the cable connected which is probably Windows trying to connect again.

Is there a way to make a hard reset of the firmware or other way to flash it?

I'm experiencing the same on a Windows 10 instance. Uninstalled & re-installed the drivers. Rebooted the computer & the board. No success.

Hello,

I encounter exactly the same issue: after failing at updating the firmware of my linkit one board (I chose a wrong port number as far as I remember), when plugged, the board stays connected for 1-2 seconds before disappearing. And the cycle is repeated after 35 seconds when I leave the cable connected.

I note that several people seem to face the same problem, does anyone have a solution ?
Is there a way for applying a "hardware factory reset" to this board?

Many thanks in advance for your help
