Hello,
Doing my first build. started the uavfutures 99 build from last year. i somehow managed to brick the naze 32 fc. i did some research and it seems i need to download the flash loader which i did and for some reason when i go to the ports pull down there is not ports listed? not sure what this means or how to fix it. been messing with it for a few days now.
please help
thanks
 
Are you using Betaflight Configurator? Where did you download it from? Which version? What version of the firmware are you trying to flash?
 
I’m using cleanflight. Just downloaded it a few days ago. My fc is a naze32 f3 acro 6 from banggood. I downloaded the cp210 drivers from the welcome screen. Thinking about this now I’m not sure if I downloaded the correct vcp drivers. There was not a option for windows 10. I downloaded one from a YouTube link. What I don’t understand is I am able flash to successfully by shorting the boot pins doing a chip erase flash on connect ect but from that I cannot connect
Thanks for the help
 
So just a update been messing with it. After a little YouTubing my silicon lab cp210x is under ports and has a com. The com is the same that comes up in clean flight I’m still able to flash it with the boot pins connected but that’s it

Use betaflight it is clean flight with more updates. Make sure to download the full release installer of betaflight for your OS not the chrome extension/app. Since you say flashing is working likely the USB driver is okay.

so started over today. i re downloaded both sets of drivers and still no change. i tried beta flight and its the same thing. i am only able to flash with the boot pins shorted but after that when i go to connect it just says no configuration after 10 seconds. i also tried to use the stm driver by going into my devices and moving it to ports and com. something i noticed from the youtube video for this is the fc are all labeled in here mine just says either stm or cp210x. I've tried impulserc driver fixer and is just stays at searching for flight controller. and still in the flash load demonstrator i can choose the com port when the fc is plugged in but when i select next it cannot find the device. so my guess is there is nothing telling the computer that a flight controller is there just a open com port? is there a possibility I'm flashing the wrong firmware?
 
looks like i may have solved my issues turns out i was probably loading the wrong firmware. little embarrassing but how ya learn. when i bought it on my order it says naze32 but on the board it says spacing f3
thanks again I'm sure ill need help soon

That's a bonus, the SPRacing F3 is a much better board
