Reset Gimx arduino firmware to default

[Fingle]

Hello, I constructed 2 gimx adapters and work great. Problem is, I want to use the arduino pro micro from one of the adapters for a new project and I cannot figure out how to reset the firmware to the normal arduino firmware. Is there some guide out there on how to do that? When plugged in, shorting the reset and ground pins doesn't do anything, and the arduino ide doesn't see to be able to update the firmware.

I cant get either of my pro micros to go into reset mode by shorting reset to ground. The lights just wont flash

Here is the verbose error message if it helps at all

So judging by that log file I think it might have actually been working. Led wasn't blinking like it should have from the script I uploaded though so while troubleshooting that I managed to brick the thing beyond my ability to repair. So ya. GGs I guess I have to buy a new one now
