A little help with de-bricking PM3 EASY

Good Afternoon

My name is Fergus and could do with a little help with my bricked Proxmark3 Easy. I am a lecturer for a design school, I teach into an interaction design course. Last year there was allot of interest in RFID, so I got a proxmark to help me deliver a workshop designing an interactive table. We used the Proxmark to program some magic cards... etc.

It was exceptionally slow so I tried to upgrade the it to lasted iceman fork. However I must of done something wrong and this process didn't complete resulting in a bricked proxmark. It was no longer recognised by Mac nor Windows and I couldn't program it again even with the button pressed in on power up.

Fast forward to a couple of days ago. The students went on spring break and a few of them requested to do work with RFID when they return in a couple of weeks for their third term. So I ordered a J-Link Mini Edu, and downloaded the latest iceman fork and J-flasher V6.5a, it arrived yesterday and I hooked up the SWD cable to a breakout board and from there hooked all the wires across to a header I soldered onto the proxmark for J-Tag programming.

However I get this message.

Connecting ...

Failed to halt CPU for clock frequency detection!
- ERROR: Failed to measure CPU clock frequency
- ERROR: Failed to connect.
Could not determine CPU clock frequency.

I can see it is a 16MHz crystal however even if I enter is manually I get the same results.

Any help would be most appreciated.

Thank you
