Flashing Zigbee 3.0 CC2652P Dongle Firmware Using TI v2 Flash & cc2652p hex flash

I have been reading for the past two days all the communities and forums in flashing my Zigbee 3.0 USB Dongle Plus CC2652P. I am using the TI Smart RF Flash Programmer Software V2 and running into probs. I get the " Unknown record type 3" then an error in flashing. The software can read the com port correctly, detect the dongle properly, I can erase successfuly but cannot flash the proper .hex code to the dongle and yes before I plug in I am holding down the boot button for 10 seconds then releasing after 10 seconds once plugged in. The main switch is in the off position while doing the procedure. Really weird. Also doing the python thing for programming is way too complicated as I ran into probs installing the python stuff. Thanks for any help…

A known issue with the TI software.

If you really want to use windows, use ZigStar Multi Tool - ZigStar.

I use GitHub - JelmerT/cc2538-bsl: Python cross-platform script to upload firmware via the serial boot loader onto the CC13xx, CC2538 and CC26xx SoC. from the ha container.

Or use the zigstar flasher addon GitHub - mercenaruss/zigstar_addons: Home Assistant add-ons for Flashing ZigStar Devices
