Recover bricked box - backup - servicepack.ucf does not exist on target

Daniel12103 · January 28, 2025, 9:48pm

Hey 0xbadbee, after I seem to have bricked my box too, I’m trying to rebuild flash.

I get this error: cc3200tool.cc.CC3200Error: /sys/servicepack.ucf does not exist on target

Can you please give me a tip on what I am doing wrong?

This is totally normal in that case, as this is a system file, that cannot be read for verification.

Ok, good to know, that’s reassuring. Is it also ok if an error occurs with the following command?

Hey 0xbadbee thanks for the support.

The error message seems to have no effect, because the Toniebox is now running again and ready for a second attempt.
