&kp bootloader stopped working

[masar3141]

Hello, my keyboard (nrf52) suddenly stopped going into bootloader on keypress (&bootloader). When i press the key the keyboard stops sending key for few seconds (nothing when i ls /Volumes) then goes back to normal.

I'm on macos, and have in general many issues with zmk.

Any idea please?

i believe my nine!nanoV2 clone is doing the same thing...

I’m experiencing the same issue with my device. I’m using a SuperMini nRF52840 from AliExpress, which I flashed as a ⁠nice_nano_v2. The device works well in most aspects, except that entering the bootloader using ⁠&bootloader doesn’t function correctly. Instead of entering bootloader mode, the device reboots and loads the existing firmware, similar to the behavior of ⁠&sys_reset.

@masar3141 As a side note - you should not use &kp with bootloader behavior but reference it directly like &bootloader. Not sure it's a typo here or the cause of an issue.

You're right thank you for noting, it was a typo indeed

Also running into this issue :)

If like me you added CONFIG_NRF_STORE_REBOOT_TYPE_GPREGRET=n to your config, it breaks the &booloader command. Though even without this it only works on my primary half (which is a whole lot better than not).

Considering we've moved to a new way of doing &bootloader, the original issue should no longer apply, or have changed somewhat since. For any problems related to the new bootloader, please open a new (detailed) issue.
