Encryption key fix (fast cyan blinks with occasional red)

You can try removing the device from account using the current mobile app (settings link from main screen then “delete” tab). If that doesn’t work, please PM me the device ID of your unit and I’ll take a look.

Thanks that worked :grin:

Hi,

I think I have the same problem.

I am trying to follow these steps, however when I try to login to garadget using particle login, I am getting incorrect credentials, which is impossible because I am using a Password Manager and if I logout and login to garadget web UI those credentials are accepted.

What am I doing wrong?

I am having this exact issue - Also using a password manager with copy/paste. I’ve typed the password manually as well, being very careful. I’ve verified that the password works in the web app.

particle
λ particle login
? Please enter your email address me@here.com
? Please enter your password [hidden]
! There was an error logging you in! Let’s try again.
! User credentials are invalid

This used to work with Garadget accounts.
If it no longer does, you can register a plain vanilla Particle account for this purpose at: https://console.particle.io/

I got a bit further but now I get this message with the final command:

particle keys send <removed> photon.pub.pem
attempting to add a new public key for device <removed>
Error sending public key to server: Permission Denied

Do I need to do anything in my Particle account other than set it up?

All good now - I read the post above and deleted it with the mobile app.

Thanks!

I’m having a hard time getting this to work on my garadget that I have had for several years.

First my computer seems to be very stubborn when trying to communicate to the device while it is in DFU mode. I have to restart my computer while the device is plugged in and DFU mode to be able to list the device (dfu-util -list).

When I try following the sets I get this.

C:\Users\John\Downloads>dfu-util -d 2b04:d006 -a 1 -s 2082 -D cloud_public.der

Any advice is appreciated.

Soon after posting this I fixed my issue by updating my firmware via the instructions here.

I still had to put the device in DFU mode, and reboot my computer while it was plugged in. But I got it working again.
