Codee Not Leveling Up

Hi everyone,

I’m having a serious issue with my Codee. When I opened it up, only Oil I Need was unlocked, and so that’s what I played. Finishing Oil I Need didn’t do anything even when Codee needed oil.

I noticed the GitHub was on version 2.0.1 and my Codee was on 1.0, so I tried to flash it using esptool.

After attempting to flash firmware (both stock 1.0 and latest 2.0.1), it will not power on correctly. Here’s what’s happening:

Symptoms:

  • Charge light flashes rapidly or stays off
  • Screen shows white but never boots
  • USB disconnects/reconnects repeatedly and makes noise when connected to PC

What I’ve tried so far:

  • Fully erasing and redownloading flash using esptool (just turned the screen white)
  • Using multiple USB cables and ports (didn’t help)
  • Attempting to go into bootloader mode (how does that work?)
  • Letting the device fully charge overnight
  • Restoring Firmware on code.circuitmess.com

Despite all of this, the device still won’t start.

Request:

  • Any recovery methods I can try
  • If not, instructions for a replacement

Thanks so much for any help!
