I downloaded the image.tg file from the google drive, then followed the instructions to unplug, wait thirty seconds, then plug back in. Unfortunatly I have a solid red SYS led, and no display output. Has anyone else recovered from this before?

I also tried following the recovery instructions, holding the 'mask' button doesn't cause any system lights to change for me. There's an unlabeled button on the front below the right USB port which I think is the mask.

Try a few things:

- Double check the mask button — look up the board schematic or disassemble to confirm its location.
- Try a different USB port/cable.
- If possible, connect via serial console (UART) to view the boot log — that will confirm if it's stuck in the bootloader, maskrom, or somewhere else.
- Verify that the image.tg file you downloaded isn't corrupted. Redownload it or check its hash if it is.

Since I haven't encountered this case, I'm going with what I know. Hope it helps
