My Lynx shunt (2 yrs old) decided to go from soilid green led to flashing orange (firmware issue). I updated the Cerbo GX and the shunt, both confirmed updated successfully but it is now rapidly flashing green led ( Initializing (bootloader) ) and does not progress further. It also no longer appears in the device list. Disconnected from the power and the Cerbo GX, changed cables etc. Any one know a fix.
