Describe the bug

Our Microbit V2 is stuck in bluetooth mode after flashing. Reset, power off, have no effect. Nor does flashing again - which the Android app seems to indicate was successful.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behaviour. e.g.:

1. Pair micro:bit
2. Go to makecode and create a program
3. Download to micro:bit (either from makecode or file storage)
4. Flash takes a short time, so looks like partial flash.

5. micro:bit restarts in pairing mode with pattern

   on screen.

A full flash by drag and drop fixes this

Expected behavior Full flash should occur on first flash and subsequent should be partial flash

I have the same issue with V1. How to fix this issue? I don't see a USB drive on the computer.
