The flashing app detected the device. The next step was downloading firmware and it was stuck on it for minutes (usually it takes a second or two). I almost ended up rebooting the device (which could absolutely brick it) but fortunately it found the firmware. Then I tested DDG to see if it was up. I don't really remember if it was but I think it was working for a few seconds
Why was it pulling firmware from Bing? That's seems strange
