First, turn your meowbit off, then hold the menu button and turn it back on. This will put your meowbit into DFU mode. Then, get the CONFIG.BIN file and run this command sudo dfu-util -a 0 -s 0x08000000 -D CONFIG.BIN (or similar for windows). And there you go. The original bootloader is back! ---

Do you have the command for windows? I have a raspberry pi 3a+ and do not want to run it with 512MB of ram. I’m currently in China and it is really fun 🙂 (High speed rail!! Max speed 380km/h but normally 240km/h) I’m returning home in the 28th of January and I will try it first thing when I arrive. Thanks @Renderthegreat !!! ---

Download from [here](https://github.com/GGLinnk/dfu-util/releases/tag/v0.10-test), then run the same command but remove sudo and add .exe after dfu-util. You can get the CONFIG.BIN from wget us.renderlabs.cloud/static/meowbit/CONFIG.BIN -o CONFIG.BIN ---

Also this says that the meowbit is > **[dfu-util Homepage](https://dfu-util.sourceforge.net/)** > > dfu-util Project Homepage in the list of supported devices as the meowbit is a STM32F4 device. ---

Also when I did that I heard that familiar sound of usb devices plugging in and this appearing in device manager ![Screenshot 2025-01-29 172608](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/makecode/original/3X/3/6/3687e74636e0228048f4be26408ae9b94f5955d8.png) ---

Also because dfu-util was almost impossible ! just downloaded stm32cube programmer and apparently you had to hold down the menu button for it to connect but for the second time I didn’t need to. ![Screenshot 2025-01-30 135159](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/makecode/original/3X/d/e/debdde69359efcfd375cdfd3c32dc815a9c30b9f.png) ---

I don’t know what is a “makecode arcade” but if you have the CONFIG.BIN file and you know how to put it in DFU mode, it should work ---

Bro, wth. This is a firmware bricker. It peels off the warranty off your meow bit. Don’t flash it. And if you want to, make a backup of your firmware via STM32 Cube Programmer. ---
