Re: BDC-COM reports "Unable to contact boot loader" when trying to update firmware
I've run across this a few times. What has always worked for me, (if it wasn't truly bricked) was to use a USB to Serial on my laptop, with the DB9 connector built as documented, a 6 wire can cable, and ONE and ONLY one Jaguar attached and terminated.

I was then able to perform a recover device. But you can only have one JAGUAR on the bus for it to work.
