[SOLVED]M2 and M3 lights stuck on

I had the error with my crazflie 2.0 where the M2 light is solid blue, and thought I had fixed it by following the steps in a previous thread I found and flashed the firmware by getting into bootloader mode. However, when I clicked restart in firmware mode the M2 light came back on full, joined by the M3 so that both were solid blue with no other lights flashing. It does turn off and on, but it just keeps the lights on and doesn't turn the motors and isn't recognized by the VM client. I'm using the latest version of the firmware and have tried re-flashing and using other versions but so far nothing has worked.

When scanning for Crazyflie do you see it in the client? Then if you connect to it can you see anything in the console tab?

The crazyflie is recognized by the client but it refuses to connect, not getting past the 'connecting' stage. The terminal is continually printing out 'resending for pattern(93, 5)', occasionally interrupted by 'Dongle reported ACK status == None.'
Edit: It finally stopped trying 10 minutes later and displayed the 'Failed to connect: Too many packets lost' message.

Update: I fixed it somehow by flashing the firmware ~10 times, and it worked the last time I tried it. So to anyone having this problem, flash the firmware until it fixes itself via magic.

Getting the same issue, however can't connect through dongle or usb. So I can't flash it.
