Stuck, flashing errors

I am very sorry, i have tried all things in forum and do a lot of google search. No way i am stuck.
I recently bought a proxmark3. After getting uo to date and reading all documentation on web, finally i am at this point.
I never knew wich hw version the proxmark came with. the fact is now i can do hw version with no errors so it seems like it is not bricked. Here the results using r648

sansa@marcotius:~/proxold/client$ sudo ./proxmark3 

Connected units:
	1. SN: ChangeMe [002/093]
proxmark3> hw version
#db# Prox/RFID mark3 RFID instrument                 
#db# bootrom: svn 648 2014-02-11 12:26:08                 
#db# os: svn 651 2013-01-31 14:52:31                 
#db# FPGA image built on 2012/ 1/ 6 at 15:27:56

AT this point whatever i do it gives ACK errors. No succes on upgrading new bootrom with old flasher neither using r648 or 651 or 623 this last one is supposed to be the old flasher. I think the problem is with the issue involving holding the button and connecting directly to bootrom it gives me this error:

 sansa@marcotius:~/prox623/client$ sudo ./flasher -b ~/pm3/bootrom/obj/bootrom.elf 
Loading ELF file '/home/sansa/pm3/bootrom/obj/bootrom.elf'...

Waiting for Proxmark to appear on USB....
Connected units:

Error: Unknown Proxmark mode

then it reboots (i think so) the red ans yellow light get solid even with the button released  and this happens:

sansa@marcotius:~/prox623/client$ sudo ./flasher -b ~/pm3/bootrom/obj/bootrom.elf

keeps on this point...

Thanks in advance.

Re: Stuck, flashing errors

In this thread are some useful info, have you studied it yet? (http://www.proxmark.org/forum/viewtopic.php?id=1668)
Can you be sure nothing is interfering the connection? (i.e. that modem-manager mentioned there)
You always executed make clean between recompiles? Not that you have a bad flasher version from an earlier compilation..

You can always revive it with a JTAG Connector but youll have to spend a few bucks on it or build one yourself.

Re: Stuck, flashing errors

Hi all.
Good news. Finally i've got my proxmark3 running. well, at least making what it is suposed to do and me learning interesting things.

What i've done, for helping others with same problems, i had to use jtag for pulling the last images on it.
How i did it. Well do a lot of google search, break my brain and buy a buspirate (carefull with cable i had to throw mine through the window) then manage to update the image with tutorial and a lot of reading/learning.

Thank for the advices. I Appreciated them a lot. See you in the cards section!!
