How To Use Flashlight Mode To Fix Bricked Arduboys

If you're having a problem uploading a new game to your Arduboy, you may be encountering a bootloader issue. Some games use so much memory that your Arduboy's bootloader cannot correctly enter into the mode needed to reprogram. Luckily, the Arduboy has a built-in function to prevent this from stopping you from installing another game. It's called flashlight mode. To use flashlight mode to install another game: Turn off your Arduboy. Hold UP on the D-Pad. While still holding the D-Pad, turn …

[Peter_Xu]

Dear MLXXXp  Thanks for the help. but this method didnt work ....

when i turn on the Arduboy, unlike the normal start up. theres no any Team ARG logo or , the Arduboy logo before the acutally game title… just turn on the Arduboy, and instantlly to the game title… nomatter what game i try to upload

the last line maybe is the key to solve the issue?
its sad i just bought the Arduboy yesterday

[curly]

Did you try the reset button, start loading a new game than a few seconds before it’s done hit the reset button on your arduboy, that will block the game curantly on there from loading long enough for the bootlader to do it’s job, however the button is somewhat delicate and is only to be used as a last resort, flashlight mode should be sufficient

[filmote]

The flashlight mode is only valid if the game currently on the machine uses the Arduboy library. I haven’t loaded Arduventure but do not think it supports this function (just as it doesn’t have the logo).

[Pharap]

Firstly I just want to say that the big bold letters on the Arduventure page saying:

DO NOT UPLOAD THIS GAME !!!
IT WILL BRICK YOUR ARDUBOY !!!

are completely serious.

Arduventure uses an old version of the Arduboy code and (as @filmote says) it doesn’t support the ‘flashlight’ feature, so the ‘flashlight mode’ solution won’t help.

You’re going to have to rely on being able to time pressing the reset button well (like @curly says) to get a new sketch to load.

There’s a short video on this post showing it being done:

How to Reset Arduboy if it's Bricked

Here is a quick video showing how to reset the Arduboy into bootloader mode. You’ll need to press the reset button while Arduboy is attempting to upload code. The video gives a few good pointers be sure to watch the whole thing if you’ve got a problem with your Arduboy! [Updated with new video]

It will take a couple of tries to get the timing right, but you have to just stick with it.

Also make sure that your board is set to “Arduboy” under Tools > Board: "Arduboy", if it isn’t you’ll need to go to Tools > Board > Boards Manager and search for “Arduboy” to get it installed, then look for it in the Tools > Board list and set it as your current board.

Once you’ve got Arduventure off your system, don’t try to load it again, you’ll run into exactly the same problem.

[filmote]

It so tempting to load this game up … it looks great. But please don’t do it!

[eried]

the last line maybe is the key to solve the issue?

its sad i just bought the Arduboy yesterday

You can try with my Uploader: http://arduboy.ried.cl/ (click Arduboy Uploader and transfer one of the games in the list).
Sometimes I get better results because acts “faster” when it finds the port. Additionally, try with the reset button.

And finally: contact support, they will help you.

[Pharap]

And finally: contact support, they will help you.

Yes this too. (I forgot support is a thing.)
I think that means using the contact form.

[MLXXXp]

Arduventure uses an old version of the Arduboy code and (as @filmote says) it doesn’t support the ‘flashlight’ feature, so the ‘flashlight mode’ solution won’t help.

Actually, the version of Arduventure found in the Popular Links section of the original post, which is here, does use the Arduboy library, and it does call begin(), so it does display the ARDUBOY logo on startup, and flashlight mode is available.

I just tried it. It won’t allow new sketches to be loaded if the game is running but new uploads work fine if you initiate flashlight mode.

So, I don’t know what version of Arduventure @Peter_Xu has uploaded if it doesn’t display the logo. However, the warnings about bricking your Arduboy with the current version are a bit extreme.

[curly]

Ya thanks for clarifying that @MLXXXp I was pretty shure I used flashlight mode to get the game off

Also I’ve loaded it multiple times and haven’t destroyed my arduboy yet

[Celinebins]

playing with fire

[curly]

What can I say I live on the edge

[Cody17]

Lol I’ve actually uploaded arduventure enough to tell its time to stop😂

[Peter_Xu]

thank you Mr…Pharap

I try the reset method many time just as the video says…

the [Arudventure] logo always pop up just like before ,without Arduboy logo first.

the yet Arduino log shows this Orange text at last

Programmer Type : butterfly
Description : Atmel AppNote AVR109 Boot Loader

Connecting to programmer: .avrdude: butterfly_recv(): programmer is not responding

avrdude: butterfly_recv(): programmer is not responding

[Peter_Xu]

the fact is ,my Arduboy was not Brick at all, the last uploading game was Demo of [Arduventure] it can be played fine , but some how could not upload other games anymore problem, and yet fail anyway of reseting , or uploading new game … I run out the way of sovlong this nightmare…

[MLXXXp]

@Peter_Xu
Where did you get the Arduventure demo that you uploaded?

[Peter_Xu]

not the Demo Version, maybe the ongoing whole game ver . just search on the internet, but now i really regret the choice i made

[bateske]

@Peter_Xu write us at www.arduboy.com/contact we can try to help you out from there.

[Pharap]

Just for the record, @eried did suggest this at one point (and I added the link). I’m glad to know it was the right advice to give.
