BCM50 - Factory Mode?

[Cyberprog]

I think I managed to trigger my BCM50 into factory mode with an accidental double tap on the reset switch when doing a Level 2 reset.
At boot, there are two solid orange leds.
This then goes to two solid red leds and then the fan slows and the leds both flash red at the same time.

Hard disk connections seem ok.

I presume this means the unit's stuck in factory mode? Is it possible to snap the unit out of this, or will wiping the drive and reinstalling an image on it sort the problem?

Which, speaking of images, does anyone have a R1 or R3 image handy that I could blag? The unit's a R1 unit, but I was trying to do a clean wipe prior to a R3 upgrade, and have an appropriate license file for the upgrade.

Any help would be appreciated!

It can take up tp an hour 1/2 to factory reset back to an earlier image i.e. release 1 from release 2.

All the best

If it's working, then leave it alone!.

The BCM was on R1, I gave it ~30mins before suspecting the flashing lights weren't right. When powered off and back on again, it goes straight back to what it was doing before, which, I suspect, means it's in Factory Mode.
I can only hope that this state is stored within the HDD, not the eprom!

You need to get the diagram/sequence of lights so you might be able to finish the level reset if not it sounds like the HD is hosed up and your out of luck.

Nah, it won't accept the reset sequence, so re-imaging the HDD is I think the next step...
