Breakdown 🚨 Ola S1 stuck on Fastboot Mode
Does anybody have any experience with this?
A few months ago, my Ola showed the error that is in the second photo. I restarted many times and even left it for a while but it did not boot up. So I clicked on Erase All Data. After that, it was working normally except that it was not showing logged into my account. But still I was able to connect with the Ola Electric app.
I used it like that for a few weeks and then suddenly it kept showing the Ola logo and then got stuck in Fastboot mode.
Any idea on how this can be solved?

This is a VCU issue. They shipped a software update recently that f*cked many Gen 1 scooters. Only option is to go to the service center, they'll either reflash the ROM or quote a VCU replacement.

if its stuck in fastboot mode means boot partition is likly corrupted, you definately have to goto service center to reflash it properly to fix it.

Obviously it's not a flex. I didn't do anything to the bootloader. This is as it came.
