It seems like my arduino is stuck in a loop. The on led on my arduino is green but my RX led keeps flashing. When I try to upload code the code complies but is constantly uploading without any progress. I tried pressing the reset button on my arduino but that does not work. The L led on my arduino does not pulse or anything. This happened after I tried to firmware update my arduino but the installation was taking more than an hour so I tried to stop it. Then, when I tried to upload code to it this happened. While my code keeps uploading I saw this message which I have never seen before I think.
"Sketch uses 52796 bytes (20%) of program storage space. Maximum is 262144 bytes.
Global variables use 6772 bytes (20%) of dynamic memory, leaving 25996 bytes for local variables. Maximum is 32768 bytes.

This message was before another one and as I write this the code is still uploading. I really need help since I have a project due soon.
Hi @randomard. I'm going to ask you to provide the full verbose output from an upload attempt.
This procedure is not intended to solve the problem. The purpose is to gather more information.
Since you didn't specify, I'll assume you are using Arduino IDE 2.x, and provide instructions tailored for that development software. Just let me know if you instead need the variant of the instructions for another tool like Arduino IDE 1.x or Arduino Cloud Editor.
Please do this:
- If the previous upload attempt is still in progress, click the "CANCEL" button in the "Uploading..." notification at the bottom right corner of the Arduino IDE window.
The upload process will be canceled.
- Select File > Preferences... (or Arduino IDE > Settings... for macOS users) from the Arduino IDE menus.
The "Preferences" dialog will open.
- Uncheck the box next to Show verbose output during:
☑ compile in the "Preferences" dialog.
- Check the box next to Show verbose output during: ☐ upload.
- Click the "OK" button.
The "Preferences" dialog will close.
- Attempt an upload, as you did before.
- Wait until you are sure the upload process has gone into a hung state, as indicated either by some time having passed without any new text being added to the black "Output" panel at the bottom of the Arduino IDE window, or by it being in a state where it only prints the same text to the "Output" panel repeatedly.
- Right click on the black "Output" panel at the bottom of the Arduino IDE window.
A context menu will open.
- Select Copy All from the menu.
- Open a forum reply here by clicking the "Reply" button.
- Click the
<CODE/> icon on the post composer toolbar.
This will add the forum's code block markup (```) to your reply to make sure the error messages are correctly formatted.
- Press the Ctrl+V keyboard shortcut (Command+V for macOS users).
This will paste the upload output into the code block.
- Move the cursor outside of the code block markup before you add any additional text to your reply.
- Click the "Reply" button to post the output.

I am using Arduino IDE 2.3.6. The output is a hung state where no new text is being added as time goes by.
