No worry, use microsdcard to flash your firmware, it should be fine.

> Hi Guys, I finally able to recover my g1 mini to original firmware. The reason was from the way I created the bootable microsdcard is not correct. My card was not fully formatted before running that tool. Basically, after we run win32diskimager, there should be 3 partitions like this in same card [image] When it’s done, we just insert in tfcard hole then turn on the miner, both led will blink then the miner comes back to original state. One more thing, every changes in the miner will be on…

you need to download win32diskimager then run it with the firmware image.  
just spend some times and play around, it won’t be bricked.
