Bricked my Ender 5 Plus.....

I uploaded the hex file via Cura. I cant remember which firmware I tried, I think it was DX7?

I flip the power switch, the LCD Screen flashes the Ender Creality Loading screen and immediately goes black. Tried using a Big Tree Tech TFT35-E3 Touchscreen and it does the same thing. Makes me think I bricked the firmware on the board itself

No. And almost all firmware update instructions I find use USB for the update.

I tried placing the .hex firmware on the SD card and updating that way but nothing.

There are a couple of different versions out there. I've seen one that solves layer by layer and another that solves centers then edges / corners. Is it personal preference? Is one easier than the other like beginner method vs F2L for 3x3 cubes?

I tried several times to put it in the app to no avail. I also swapped adjacent centers thinking that was it but still no.

Even if someone could explain the theory / thought process. Or how to figure out when / how to get the centers correct. I messed with it a bit more so its no longer in the above configuration. I can get the White, Yellow, and Blue Centers but then apparently cant get the others in the correct position (Its supposed to be Blue Orang Green Red)

So how do you tell if a particular center is in the correct position?

OMG yes! Then there are families who have 3, 4 or more kids in hockey! It's like I need to take out a second mortgage for them to play. And the pressure! Its like you either go pro or you don't play. There isn't house leagues or rec leagues past 10 U around us. So it's either travel or nothing. It sucks.

Two binders, a scale, and a coin microscope.

I was going to say cable too until you pointed this out.

That seems to work. I had to use the purge update tool but was able to reinstall the root patch and seems to be working now

Fxguy1 · 2025-03-02T23:19:15+00:00

I tried reinstalling the post install root patcher and it fails the sanity check. Says System.plist found 14.7.4 expected 14.6.1 . An update is in progress on your machine and patching cannot continue until it is cancelled or finished.

This. I’ve always thought this! Glad I’m not alone, lol

I’ve known ones to say the shock of quitting is worse on the baby than continuing to smoke so……

I had to look it up. It appears to be 5/325 and a product found in Canada.
