The result of trying to update my @seeedstudio.com Meshtastic Tracker L1 Pro using the instructions in their own wiki is that it does not work, and nothing even manifests in a device file even when using their reset procedure. 100% bricked.

I should also say it's about 20 mins old from my perspective.

The garbage @meshtastic.org instructions for the Seeed Meshtastic L1 should be updated to cover the risk of instantly bricking your new device, as it seems this is commonplace with a quick google. What a garbage ecosystem when new stuff just bricks.

Can you provide a link to what you're referring to? Also, more details on how the device is bricked?

Wio Tracker L1 Pro. There is nothing via USB after following the documented flashing procedure, no device files in /dev after giving it a very long time and re-plugging. Think it's dead, don't want another exact one of these after finding a fair number of other people bricking them doing same thing.
