Boot fail need to reset SLAM Dunk

[Koopa]

Hello,

Is there a way to flash the SLAM dunk back to a factory image? I’m stuck unable to boot.

I edited /etc/network/interfaces and using vi I think I messed it up and now it gets stuck on boot.

Hello,

You can take a look at the “Via a USB flash driver” update instructions:

• https://community.parrot.com/t5/Parrot-S-L-A-M-dunk-Knowledge/Updating-Parrot-S-L-A-M-dunk/ta-p/157918

Hope this helps.

I ended up putting this file: http://plf.parrot.com/Drones/slamdunk/update_recovery.tar.gz on a FAT formatted USB drive and it updated and fixed the issue.

I followed the instructions in

Updating Parrot S.L.A.M.dunk

but this did not work for me.

I am confused about the point “pressing the multifunction for 3 secs”. What actually is the multifunction button? I assumed it is the one between the LEDs on the outside of the slamdunk, is that correct?

In the dev docs I also found a picture of the inside of the slamdunk. Just because I do not want to break anything, I would like to ask if that could be the correct button?

Thanks

nvm

i followed the description by @akkasuddin

Updating the S.L.A.M. Dunk

I was finally able to update the firmware. For some reason there was an empty folder created in the /media directory. This is why the update was not taking place. It worked when I deleted this folder. Thanks for all the help!

strange. did not understand this but at least it works.

@pascal456 I am facing the same problem. The slamdunk does not pass boot. And I flashed file to USB drive. I hold the multifunction button on the side and plug power. The side LEDs blink yellow directly. It does not seem to go into update mode. where can I find the /media folder?
Thanks.

Never mind. I used a new USB drive to recover the system and it worked as per the manual instructions. The old USB drive was corrupted.
