Oooppssss!!! I was trying to reflash Flysky firmware onto my FS-i6x from the opeI6x firmware I did have on it, and for some reason it seems to have bricked! When I go to turn it on it just shows a blank screen, but when I bridged the pads on the board which force it into DFU mode it connected so i tried flashing again...And it still didn't work..And now ti won't even connect that way!😭😭😭 Guess I NEED a new radio now!😂😂 (BTW, I wouldn't mind being able to fix it, as I don't really have the funds at this point..So if you have any suggestions... @LitterBug?)

Aw man that's not fun. If that ever happened to me I would get the FT Pocket radio ( I mean it has tetris on it).

Maybe an old used FrSky X9D?

If you can't get DFU mode, that is a problem. If you can, you should be able to flash your old version back on. Double check your cable.
Well, I was able too....Until I accidentally pulled up one of the solder pads! (I have been bridge it with solder lately and its a super cheap pad...So when I give it a gentle tug it pull up!😆😆 (Thankfully my brother is letting me use his until I can get a new one)
