[RDV4] Brand new User bricked already ?

I purchased a new proxmark3 elechouse RDV2
I followed this guide linked below using a colleagues windows box thinking it would be the safest way to load iceman firmware

https://lab401.com/blogs/academy/proxmark-3-using-custom-firmware

We loaded the latest iceman version and I thought all was well as it worked on his machine
now as a mac user I did

brew tap RfidResearchGroup/proxmark3
export HOMEBREW_PROXMARK3_PLATFORM=PM3OTHER
brew install --HEAD proxmark3
proxmark3 /dev/tty.usbmodem88881

I get the following output

dod$ proxmark3 /dev/tty.usbmodem88881

Re: [RDV4] Brand new User bricked already ?

The troubleshooting guide at the repo usuall is a good starting place when things goes wrong.
https://github.com/RfidResearchGroup/pr … hooting.md

In your case I would say you need to take notice on the serial port.  Running latest RRG/Iceman usually gives a different serial port enumeration.

Since you are swapping between repos,  you will need to update bootrom first.  ie   flash-bootrom ,  reset device,  flash-fullimage.

Sometimes its easier to use the button trick when doing this.
