Re: [Hackrf-dev] Broken/Dead HackRF Blue?

[Bert Thomas]

Could you explain a bit more what you did to it? It is very unlikely 
that it is not repairable.

Re: [Hackrf-dev] Broken/Dead HackRF Blue?

[Noah Jaehnert]

I have tried both a RESET and starting it in DFU mode. Same issues persist.

It is not recognized at all (in normal or DFU mode) by Mac or Linux
(Raspberry Pi).

On Windows, when plugged in, it shows as "Unknown USB Device (Device
Descriptor Failed)." However, I cannot seem to do anything with it. I tried
entering into DFU mode and running dfu-util and reflashing but it is not
recognized by dfu-util on Windows either.

Re: [Hackrf-dev] Broken/Dead HackRF Blue?

[rdwrench]

Have you tried a hard reset??

    https://github.com/mossmann/hackrf/wiki/HackRF-One


   Using HackRF One's Buttons

The RESET button resets the microcontroller. This is a reboot that 
should result in a USB re-enumeration.


The DFU button invokes a USB DFU bootloader located in the 
microcontroller's ROM. This bootloader makes it possible to unbrick a 
HackRF One with damaged firmware because the ROM cannot be overwritten.


To invoke DFU mode: Press and hold the DFU button. While holding the DFU 
button, reset the HackRF One either by pressing and releasing the RESET 
button or by powering on the HackRF One. Release the DFU button.


The DFU button only invokes the bootloader during reset. This means that 
it can be used for other functions by custom firmware.

Tried three different computers (Mac laptop, Raspberry Po, and Windows laptop). 
Same result on all three, using different cables and different ports.

Hi, I was just wanting to confirm if you 100% certaom your USB cable is
good. Maybe want to try another one. I spent days once trying to figure
out why my USB light was not coming on, and it was because I was using
a USB charge cable instead of a data cable.
