Possibly bricked it

Quote from scott on February 15, 2019, 5:31 pmI have reviewed other posts regarding recovering the omega2S+ however, most have to do with gaining access through wifi, which mine has stopped producing.
Generally speaking
- I decided to upgrade the omega firmware to the newest OS from the general onion site (not from oboo clock distributions) which I realize now may have been a bad thing to do.
- The unit still powers on and off via the power switch and battery still functions and holds a charge.
- All lights on the top are lit solid and do not respond to presses
- Do not see any activity from using motion sensor
- After removing front cover, I can confirm the LCD is at least backlit
- I have confirmed the 3.3V on the omega chip.
- The LCD remains completely black, no activity whatsoever.
- The clock is showing a time, that appears to be semi-accurate, as in keeping time when it is powered on.
- The Omega DOES NOT present any Wifi
- I never 'turned off' the Wifi service previously.
Before I go bricking it any further, I was wondering if there was a method for reinstalling firmware on the chip, or recoving it. I do see references to factory reset, which I can try but before I do that it wasn't clear which pin (HW RST) or (SW RST) I should try and wether I should ground it or power it, and if it needs to be done prior to applying power, especially with the battery backup in play.
Is there a USB recovery method? I do not see any pins or header I can use to communicate with the chip in side the unit (only front cover removed).
I have some experience with the stand alone onion products, but due to the SMT and the fact that my onion experience got me into this mess in the first place, I was hoping for some guidance as to my next steps, or if I may be out of luck intil my production model shows up.
Thanks,
Scott
