Flashing green light constant red

I've just tried to update the firmware on my 1.0 audiomoth to the latest. I followed the instructions for manual flashing and the app indicated that the device had been successfully flashed. I'm not really sure what went wrong from there but the computer/configuration app now doesn't recognise it. The unit has a green flashing light and the red light on constantly. In the "what do the flashing lights mean" section this combination isn't covered whilst it is in USB/off mode. I have tried changing the mode but same lights are flashing. I've tried re-flashing and configuring with the same results.

@tiptopcpt Do you know where this AudioMoth came from originally? Can you post a picture of it? It sounds like a hardware fault on the pin that is used to detect the device hardware version which wasn't used on earlier versions of the firmware. What firmware version was on the device originally? It should still be useable but the positions of the switch will no longer match the labels - you should be able to figure out which switch position is now USB/OFF (it will be when the USB connects), which is CUSTOM (it will show solid red and flashing green) and which is DEFAULT (without SD card it will flash red and green together, or with SD card it will proceed to make a recording). Is it possible to find this remapping of the switch position?
