If your CodeShooter shows as "Unfabricated", or its light blinks any variation of purple and it won't connect, the device's firmware needs recovering with our Windows recovery tool.

Before you start

  • A computer running Windows 11 or newer. On older versions of Windows the program won't run at all.
  • A USB-C cable that carries data, not just power, such as the one from an external drive.

Recover the device

  1. Open the CodeShooter Recovery Tool User Guide.
  2. Read through the instructions and follow the steps to recover the device.

If the tool doesn't work

Three things stop the tool working:

  • Windows older than 11: the program won't run at all.
  • A USB-C cable without data transfer: the CodeShooter won't communicate with the program. This is the most common cause; try a cable you know carries data.
  • No green progress bar moving across the top of the text box: a security setting on your computer is preventing the program from working.
Note

If none of that clears it, send the device in. There's no charge to recover it: you cover shipping to us and we cover return shipping. Create a support ticket to arrange it.
