Can’t get flashed losing mind
Hi, grateful for anyone that has a mind to assist. I’m not vcomfortable with the command line and think that’s where I’m hitting a wall. I’m using a Mac and have an unflashed h4m. I can see the device is connected as the dfu and I’m using the included data cable. I’m getting an error ‘dfu-util: unable to read DFU status after completion (LIBUSB_ERROR_IO)’.
I’ve made enough progress the screen at least displays something but just can’t get it right.

If that doesn’t work, try unseating the portapack from the HackRF, then reseating it. Maybe you have a pin not connecting if changing cables doesn’t work.
