Included in the Driver Station software and Utility Updates, there is a program called BDC-Comm. Start that up with only one of the bricked Jaguars plugged into the CAN port (For serial communications, you must plug your serial adapter into the left port of the Jaguar. Remember to terminate the other port.) Once BDC-Comm has started, there should be a menu item somewhere along the lines of "Recover Firmware" (IIRC, it's in the File menu). Select your firmware bin and flash it using the recovery feature. This should bring your Jaguar back to its normal life.

The fast red strobe would indicate a CAN error. Make sure you have your termination resistor in place for the network to run correctly.

An error box comes up saying "Unable to contact the boot loader!" upon starting the Recover Device process
Reoccures no matter which Jaguar is connected to the PC
