Unable to flash proxmark3

Hello.
I'm trying to flash new proxmark3, but something is wrong.
First of all, I need to edit proxusb.c because my proxmark3 has different vendor and product id. Also it reboots from time to time. Is that normal?

When I run flasher I get this:

$ sudo ./flasher -b ../../bootrom/obj/bootrom.elf 
Loading ELF file '../../bootrom/obj/bootrom.elf'...
Loading usable ELF segments:
0: V 0x00100000 P 0x00100000 (0x00000200->0x00000200) [R X] @0x94
1: V 0x00200000 P 0x00100200 (0x00000b88->0x00000b88) [RWX] @0x298

Waiting for Proxmark to appear on USB....

On "Protocol error!" proxmark3 reboots.

But client works well:

$ ./proxmark3 /dev/ttyACM0

After 10 or twenty reboots it stops rebooting and works normally.

From information I found, I probably need older flasher/bootrom. But how old and where can I get it?
Do you have any other ideas?

Re: Unable to flash proxmark3

I managed to flash pm3 using old flasher I got from here https://storage.googleapis.com/google-code-archive-source/v2/code.google.com/proxmark3/source-archive.zip

But now I can't read mifare cards:

proxmark3> hf 14a reader
iso14443a card select failed

I tried to use newer flasher, but it didn't work. Then I noticed that there was another flasher that acted like old flasher. But reflashing didn't help

Re: Unable to flash proxmark3

Well, I figured out that 2.0.0 and above version of firmware doesn't work, but 2.0.0-rc2 works well.

Re: Unable to flash proxmark3

Odd behavior continues. When I plugged proxmark3 in my PC it started to reboot from time to time and I was unable to reflash it. But when I connected proxmark3 to my laptop I successfully reflashed it and it no longer reboots. But the problem with HF reader persists.  I guess I need to start new topic regarding hf reader.
