@Gordon Thank you.
The issue is that... I read all of the things you quoted, but I understood them differently / could not understand them because of a lack of assumed preexisting knowledge.
- 'USB Data' to me did not mean that no USB at all, just some specific kind of Data access. Could still have worked for USB serial... or whatever other possible types of 'USB connections' exist there. Who knows!
- If I choose Bangle.js 2 before that item with the web serial becomes accessible... I assume it should be available. It would seem useful to me to restrict choices to what actually works, depending upon the selected device.
- The Recovery section on the troubleshooting page did not say that it enables Bluetooth. That would have been super helpful to me. I thought I was completely locked out.
- The recovery item documentation may be helpful to a seasoned Bangle / Espruino dev, but in its shortness, it's not too useful to someone who isn't.
- SWD sounds like 'serial web ...' - I thought it was worth a try. Why is it even mentioned on the Bangle page when it's not available? (the abbreviation could at least be explained once for the noobs)

Seems the main issue is the latest firmware (and clock faces not being compatible). The other parts are just stumbling blocks when trying to fix the problem. Going back to older firmware would actually have helped.

Actually, it seems BT is indeed active in recovery mode. Wish I'd not have forgotten to check, lol.
Thanks!

I'll open a bug report about adding activating bluetooth and making it programmable to the recovery menu. Although it might be a security feature to not have it in there, not sure.

Thanks.
Ah... too bad, then.... I'd love it if someone could add that info to the WebIDE which offers 'usb to serial' connection, and to the STM32 section at https://www.espruino.com/Firmware+Update which doesn't say anything about what kind of physical connection is required to perform the instructions.
My last backup is from May 10... :-( Should have made one this week.

Fixed wording - I meant charging.

(btw. loading [charging!] works, and the bangle buzzes on connection)
I thought I selected the device after clicking on 'connect'... yes, that is the same dialog... mmmh. Still, wasn't clear to me.
Thanks for adding the 'BT in recovery mode' info. That's a real life- (or watch-)saver.
Next time I need to use the docs, I'll watch out for things that may seem unclear to someone inexperienced like myself.
