I have a Spirit GT which I think was running 3.4.1 firmware.
I was having issues where the unit appeared to initialise but I could not move servos using transmitter.
After several attempts powering off system and repowering unit everything worked fine.

I was concerned so I tried to update software and firmware to 3.5.0
Update reported successful with a solid blue led on Spirit GT but Software will no longer connect to Spirit GT.
Repowering unit results in blue flashing led and no communication.
I have tried recovery mode several times but still not working.

How do I get my unit working again?

thanks

Thanks for prompt response.

Unfortunately I do not have a .spirit-flash.cfg in my documents folder.

Do you have a spirit paper box? There is serial number written there. We will need it if possible.
Could you also send your IPv4 address to a private message? We will assign special firmware there which should resolve the issue.

Thanks again for the excellent troubleshooting support.

Everything appears to be working as it should now.

It turns out I had a defective BEC cable.
