Once complete, the lights should return to flashing blue or green. Step 2: Fixing "License Revoked" or Bricked Clones
Set the correct fuse bits (Fuses determine how the chip reads its clock cycles; incorrect fuses will permanently brick the chip). Typical clone fuses are: Low: 0xCD , High: 0x29 , Extended: 0xFF . Click . Post-Repair Software Management: Preventing Future Bricking
The cable is getting power but cannot communicate with the computer. Check your FTDI chip programming and ensure you are using the correct USB port drivers. Vcds Hex V2 Clone Repair

Before opening the device casing, perform basic software checks to identify the state of your clone. Check Device Manager Once complete, the lights should return to flashing

Never connect your laptop to Wi-Fi while the cable is plugged in unless your specific clone version (e.g., some newer "VIIPlus" versions) explicitly supports online updates. Use a Virtual Machine: or STM32CubeProgrammer software installed on your PC
