[Hackrf-dev] hackrf firmware update does not work

[Dominic Spill]

Hi Bernard,

Thanks for the feedback, it's great that HackRF is performing well for you!

I'm fairly confident that your HackRF has a bad flash chip, so that
should be replaced.  Could you email me off list with the details of
where you bought yours and we'll work out how to get it fixed for you.

Thanks,
  Dominic
