HELP I BRICKED MY RX!¶

Take a breath, calm down, relax. If you’ve had a failed update your RX or TX might be in a non-working state. The good news is that unless the hardware is damaged, it’s impossible to brick any of the ExpressLRS hardware. ANY of the hardware can be recovered using the serial passthrough feature of a flight controller, or with a usb-serial adapter.

Let’s start with the RX’s, since they are usually the trickiest. There are two main classes of receivers. STM32 based and ESP8285 based. If you’re not sure, you probably have an ESP8285 based RX. The main difference is that the STM32 RX’s don’t have WiFi.

Now, ALL the ESP8285 based RX’s have a factory installed bootloader onboard which CANNOT be damaged or tampered with. You can completely screw up the upgrade and always get it back using this default bootloader.

First, we must stop betaflight getting in the way and screwing things up with telemetry. Load up the configurator, go to the configuration page and then disable telemetry. Press save and reboot. If not already done so, the RX must be wired to the Flight controller or a USB-SERIAL adapter.

Take note that the RX wires goes to the TX and vice versa, BOTH wires must be connected. If your receiver was already working properly and it’s still wired in you’ve already done this step.

Next, we must activate the ROM bootloader. On every ESP8285 based RX there is a GPIO0 pin somewhere on the board, it may be connected to a button, or it may be a bare pad on the PCB. You must connect this pin to ground, THEN apply power. If you’ve done it right the LED should be solid on. How exactly this is done depends on the type of receiver:

If you have a receiver with a button, just hold it down while you apply power to enter the bootloader. Keep holding the button until the configurator starts uploading to the RX.
If you have an EP1/EP2 you have to short the boot pad which is located just above GND to GND with solder.

Once the receiver is in bootloader mode, all you need to do is configure the RX in the configurator as per normal and then upload with the ‘via_BetaflightPassthrough’ method. If all goes well, you should see it upload successfully.

If the flashing process still fails try to move the 5V RX wire to the pin that requires LiPo to power it on. You need to power up the receiver only during the “Passthrough Done” stage or the “Connecting …” stage.

If you’ve still got the boot pad bridged with solder, you’ll need to remove the solder before it will work again. Congratulations! You’ve unbricked your receiver, go fly!
