Order #719778 - Betafpv Matrix 1s Brushless Flight Controller (5in1) - The ELRS is bricked, stock out of the box

Order Number: 719778
Product Name: Betafpv Matrix 1s Brushless Flight Controller (5in1)
Brand: BetaFPV
ELRS doesn’t go Into WiFi mode and is stuck in bootloader. Yet when I try to flash it it fails. I have tried a variety of methods and even reached out to BetaFPV who have said the board is a faulty FC.
I’ve reflashed betaflight, tried uart flashing and followed all guidance from the official ELRS website. The ELRS still stays in bootloader. After this I contacted BETAFPV support, and they verified the board as a faulty FC.
