Failing to update Seeed wio terminal Stuck on Burn RTL8720

My wio terminal is stuck on “Burn RTL8720 fw” and wouldn’t accept any code flashed to it from arduino

here is how I got to this point

when i got my new wio terminal I connected it put it in the setup mode, uploaded the “rtl8720_update_v2.uf2” to it

I then downloaded RTL8720 Firmware Releases · Seeed-Studio/seeed-ambd-firmware · GitHub

I then ran # python3 ambd_flash_tool.py erase

Output was

Done in 0.157 seconds
writeWord(addr=0xe000ed0c,value=0x5fa0004)
wait…

Burn RTL8720 fw appeared on the screen again

I then ran #python3 ambd_flash_tool.py flash -d ~/Downloads/20210519-seeed-ambd-firmware-rpc-v2.1.3

Output

i then put the unit back in flash mode and tried to flash a sample code and got this error

An error occurred while uploading the sketch

I reset the unit and i got “Burn RTL8720 fw” on the screen

any idea how i can resolve this?

as a note earlier I flashed wioterminal-aziot-example.uf2 while testing some scenario with Azure iot central

Please update the WiFi firmware according to the Wiki content here and do not use the wrong version 2.1.3 firmware!!!

Your device is still in burning mode. The burning mode is just an ordinary .uf2 file, like any other. So try downloading the factory .uf2 program from here, put your Wio Terminal into bootloader mode (push reset 2 times quickly) and drag the jumper.uf2 file that you downloaded into the Arduino volume and it should be working again! I just tried this while writing, and it worked!
TL;DR basically just download and flash this file to your Wio Terminal: jumper.uf2 and it should be working again
