I think my FRDM-KW41Z board is "bricked". How do I fix the problem?

I am using the FRDM-KW41Z and I keep getting this message "Readout protection is set and mass erase is disabled. J-Link cannot unprotect the device" after attempting to debug. How do I "unbrick" this board?

I'm affraid that you really bricked your microcontroller and you cannot access it any more (see How (not) to Secure my Microcontroller | MCU on Eclipse  for details).

With readout protection enabled and mass erase disabled the device is scured and locked and you have no way to regain access (that's the purpose of this feature).

The only way is to unsolder the device and solder a new one.

If mass erase is *not* enabled, then you still can unlock the device with a mass erase, see

I hope this helps,
