Bought my wife a Wurrkos ts10 she gives it back not working.
Only thing what is working now = press and hold to have light
I try 13h to reset no go
losen battery hold button 4s and recap for reset no go
What to do?

sounds like it is locked, but battery removal should unlock it, try 3 clicks. or 4 clicks in case itis anduril 1
It sounds like your in momentary mode. Remove the head all the way to fully cut power then put the head back on.
I would then suggest putting it into simple mode. 10C from off.
thanks guys for help
I did find the solution when today waiting in a traffic jam.
-push and hold the button then unwind en rewind the cap. A short strobe and flash confirms reset.
I do however reed in the manual from ivan thinking
Hold
the buttonso step 1 and 2 changed position.
After research i find a different diagram anduril2 on reddit hanklights
where standing reconnect tailcap WHILE holding button.
So manual is incorrect on this point
The TS10 is sort of a special case due to the two tube design. I was going to suggest what you found to work, as I have had the same problem with some of my TS10s. I wish there was a way to lock out the momentary mode. It is just too easy to mistakenly engage it when trying to do something else (change Aux lights)… or just fumbling around with the switch.
I also wonder why just unscrewing the head to power cycle the lights does not reset momentary mode… as it should.
Anyway, I am glad you got it sorted. I wonder if configuring simple mode as you like it and just leaving it there might help you keep from having to mess with it in the future?
I believe there is a difference in whether or not the light uses a side e-switch or a tailcap e-switch.
Yes sir… that pesky inner tube…
This would be confirmed if the Aux lights are in Blinking mode. And if holding the button produces VERY dim light.
Removing the head and putting it back on, would unlock the light and it would work normally.
no need for factory reset
then the light would be ON when holding the button, at whatever level it was turned Off at, before she clicked 5 times
removing the head and putting it back on disables momentary mode.
no need for factory reset.
The Ivan manual is from 2021
The TS10 came out in 2022, the latest manual is from 2023 and has features beyond what the TS10 has.
iow, manuals may or may not have info specific to the TS10.
I try 13h to reset no go
fwiw, IF the light is in Simple mode, it is not possible to put it in Momentary mode (5 clics), but it IS possible to put it in Lockout (4 clicks).
bottom line is your wife needs to learn not to click so many times in a row, but in both cases simply removing and replacing the head should disable both Lockout or Momentary.
maybe it would help to learn from your wife, why she felt the need to clic so many times… maybe she was trying to change brightness and does not know how?
or maybe Anduril just has too many pitfalls and your wife needs a simple 3 mode light such as a Lumintop Tool
I hope you figure out the best option for her
thanks for sharing your question and hopefully you wont have to go through this again. otherwise, we are happy to help
Yes i was expecting that … only to find out no go
Well it is a first encounter with Anduril2 i see the light but dont now where it brings me…
5C from OFF also engages momentary and I’m fairly sure that’s the case since there’s no way out of momentary, unlike lockout, which they’d probably eventually be able to reverse trying different click sequences.
@Edeke full factory reset (hold-and-screw) is rarely necessary unless you mess up a setting and are not sure what you’ve changed. Andúril does have a learning curve but with the help of a visual manual as found here you’ll pick up the UI patterns in no time, it’s actually quite intuitive once you get the hang of things. With a light that has an internal secondary tube or non-anodised threads your best bet at a soft reset (that escapes momentary mode but doesn’t reset settings) is to physically detach the head to make sure no electrical contact is being made.
If only that worked… but it hasn’t on the several occasions where I accidently got into momentary mode with one of my TS10s.
It certainly should, but has not worked.
Odd! Might be a capacitor holding sufficient charge to keep the MCU alive for the brief moment. Can you induce the behaviour and try to keep the head separated for a couple of seconds to a minute?
Yeah I will try it next time… though at one point I think I even changed the cell when removing the head. That should have been plenty of time. I know that it works on other Andruil lights that I have, as I have just unscrewed the tail cap and had it work fine.
I hate to do it on purpose, as having to reset it means going back and entering all of my preferences again.
thanks for the accuracy check
I agree your info is accurate and edited my post accordingly… 5C from Off engages momentary
Re: momentary mode enabled by 5C from Off
it works for me
I take the head completely off, count to five and put the head back on…
there is no factory reset involved in removing and reinstalling the head to disable momentary mode
What material ts10 do you have?
If the threads are not anodized fully (worn aluminum or a material type without anodization) then a full unscrew and separation of the tail cap may be needed to break the circuit.
As for the other user whose light stays in momentary after that, please provide a video as that is definitely abnormal.
you dont have a TS10? ;-)… join the party!
fyi, TS10 threads are not anodized and I can still disable momentary by just unscrewing the head half a turn and then reclosing the light
fwiw,
I do NOT press the button when the head is partly unscrewed as that causes a Factory Reset and loss of any non default options.
that is why I recommend NOT trying to use physical lockout to turn off the Aux on a TS10 (some people do that when they dont know how to use Anduril to turn off Aux)
Unscrew the cap a little, press the rear button and screw it on until it reaches maximum light.
It is now reset.
It has worked on all my anduril lights and that’s the way I always do it, it’s easier than pressing the button.
It only happened on a back button one that I couldn’t and used the 13H but I fixed it by removing the cover and sanded it a little with both tubes, that is if the button cover.
Now the second tube is working fine.
Sometimes the paint or anodizing gets to the edge and does not make contact only the outer power tube works.
I hope it helps next time.
I’ve said it many times, I never give anyone an anduril light no matter what they do they end up deconfiguring everything or going into weird modes that don’t exist
It should have an option to lock the configuration somehow.
My home theater has a lock option once it is set up.
Also a way to create the code, then once configured disable the rest.
This way even if a reset is done it will still have the options set.
Or use a configuration that is then maintained at reset.
Because once I get the flashlight back if you are on a hike I keep it since no one is waiting for me to do more than 200c to leave it as it was.
Now it is already late because it would be necessary to restructure all the code.
But when I participated in projects a configuration file was created with the models commented in the code.
And then the options for all, temperature, sensor to use etc.
So you would choose the model by uncommenting and then change the options.
When compiling, all these options were passed only for that model.
I have seen above the anduril code and to change some value is spread over several files, some in the configuration file and others in the model file.
I think it was extended and it was too late to order it.
For me it’s perfect I love anduril!!!
But to create your own file you have to browse through all the ones there are to not leave anything out, that’s why many that change somehow then stop working others or overlap.
Sample size of 1 here on a different light without anodized threads, but on mine it depends on how the threads are held when unscrewing. If I pull on them in a certain way it maintains they circuit. Though this is a cheap dollar store light, maybe it’s random variation in the thread cutting
If this wasn’t true then it would make no difference between a quarter turn and fully disconnecting the tail cap when controlling for time
