Hi Guys !  
Maybe this is not ideal place for this message, but I am looking for help in restoring my Meowbit after failed firmware update.  
I have updated my bootlader to version 2.8.2 which appeared successful, however my Mewobit no longer is being recognized as USB Mass Storage device when I plug it in.  
Do you happen to know if there is any binary I can load on it using dfu-tool that will restore it to be fully operational ?

I didn’t find anything about this, but since no one else has, I will give you this link:

Which has the MeowBit Discord linked at the bottom. If you ask there, someone will probably have the answer.

I have a question: Did you save a copy of config.bin, and what version of the meowbit is it? (as labelled on the bottom right corner on the back of the board.
