I was thrilled to see
THIS deal on DDMS as I've seen first hand how great the JBL portable speakers are.
It worked great as a bluetooth speaker for a few minutes (playing a shiur) but chromecast on my phone sensed it and prompted me to open the Google Home app to complete setup.
After registering a google account it started to update the software but seems to have gotten bricked halfway through. Lights are still on but none of the buttons work. Inserting a pin into the little hole for resetting did nothing.
Any ideas?
