Summary of the Issue

Durning the CCD process the device just turns off. You then have to press the reset button and power button multiple times before it will turn back on. Normally Power, Reset, Reset, Power, Reset, Reset, Power works. Once its done I go through the process of booting into developer mode again and check the CCD for it to report locked.

I beleive something with a jumper needs to be done.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Boot to Recovery Mode

  2. Boot to Developer Mode

  3. Open VT-2 terminal

  4. Login as root

  5. Run gsctool -a -o and follow the prompts

Expected Behavior

I would see a message showing PP Done! and the device would reboot in normal mode.

WP does not prevent CCD from working

are you seeing the ‘Press PP button now’ text at all?

yes, it shows ‘Press PP button now’ and I have to press it a couple times. Then I get a message that it will need to be pressed again. So I wait until ‘Press PP button now’ text shows again. After the 3rd or 4th time of seeing that text and pressing the PP button the device just shuts down and requires the random reset/power button step I provided in the original post.
