Glo stuck in restore cycle.
Hi All
Wondered if anyone had experienced a problem similar to the one I am undergoing at the moment. Came to open the Glo the other evening and was presented with the unit carrying out a restore on its own. It eventually got to the smiley face indicating it needs to be plugged into the PC. This duly done it then went into an endless restore, please plug into PC cycle. I carried out a factory reset, using the light button and the paperclip method and went through the software update and install process. Disconnected the unit from the PC and it started the boot sequence and updating the software. Got to the square blocks of startup and then it dropped back to a restore cycle again. The unit is out of Warranty so happy to try anything within reason. Does anyone have any ideas? |

Have you tried to set it up via wifi?
And when doing doing factory reset, make sure that it is off. Hold power switch for at least 20s. Hold light button and switch it on. |
