VoCore Forum

My VoCore2 won't boot normally but keep rebooting.

I can enter failsafe mode and do a few things but it won't boot normally at all.

Tried from different USB power sources - which all worked before.
Tried to flash (via Kermit, TeraTerm) multiple firmware versions (20250314.2305.bin, 20240316.23062.bin, 20200811.19073.bin), even stock OpenWRTs (24.10.4, 19.07.10). All of them fails at the very same step, after initializing mt76_wmac.
Also issued a lot of firstboot -y commands and started by pressing R from U-boot (reset to first boot).

Could it be something with its WiFi module, e.g. being in a wrong state? What can I do?

This is FAQ, it is because your USB cable or power supply is not good enough, when wifi start, it will consume around 400mA suddenly current, if USB cable resistor is high or power supply can not give out 800mA (only a few ms), it might cause reboot.
