Flashing locked my scooter?
Posted: Mon Apr 03, 2023 4:35 pm
This is my first experience with flashing firmware to any scooter.
I have an e25e, created a firmware zip via https://esx.cfw.sh/classic (slightly bumped the max speed and was hoping it would add the cruise control) and flashed it with XiaoFlasher.
All was looking good, but at 100% flash progress I heard a metallic sound that I didn't recognize (I thought someone shut a door nearby). Later realized the rear wheel is locked up.
I searched around (I thought this would be described online if it was happening to more people) but I didn't find any relevant information.
What possibly happened and what can I do? Do I flash the original firmware back? I regret not having a screenshot of all the component versions before I started flashing.
BTW if this was all that was needed to brick a device, then I think they are not very secure, anyone can mess with your scooter as long as they are relatively close to it...
