Flashing Espruino fails, bootoader LED not pulsating

Hy, I received my 2 Espruinos yesterday. After firing on of them up, I realized that it still had a slightly old firmware on it with that regression bug where some characters after each function have to be inserted to make it work.

Now i tried to upgrade the 2 espruinos (via the chrome IDE as explained in the guide), it worked like a charm for the first device.
When i tried to do it with the second one, i realized that the bootloader LED wasn't pulsating as described (and as my first device did). Instead the blue & red (LED1&3) are both lighting up very bright and staying that way until i press the reset button again. I first thought this had sth to do with my windows laptop. The device also isn't recognized as a serial device anymore when it is in this state.

Now i tried it on my linux laptop with the same result. Here is the syslog output i get (first doing a normal reset and then the btn+reset reset for the bootloader)

# reset espruino normally

Is this a known problem? How can I update that second device?
