commands.c:360: Error writing memory data. (err -4)
You're likely going to need to ISP flash your board/device to get it working again. Luckily, this process is pretty straight-forward, provided you have any extra programmable keyboard, Arduino, or Teensy 2.0/Teensy 2.0++. There are also dedicated ISP flashers available for this, but most cost >$15, and it's assumed that if you are googling this error, this is the first you've heard about ISP flashing, and don't have one readily available (whereas you might have some other AVR board). __We'll be using a Teensy 2.0 with Windows 10 in this guide__ - if you are comfortable doing this on another system, please consider editing this guide and contributing those instructions!

## Software Needed
* [The Arduino IDE](https://www.arduino.cc/en/Main/Software)
* [Teensyduino](https://www.pjrc.com/teensy/td_download.html) (if you're using a Teensy)
* [WinAVR](http://www.ladyada.net/learn/avr/setup-win.html) (Windows)
* [Teensy Loader](https://www.pjrc.com/teensy/loader.html) (if using a Teensy)
* `avrdude` via [WinAVR](http://www.ladyada.net/learn/avr/setup-win.html) (for Teensy & Pro Micro)
## Wiring
This is pretty straight-forward - we'll be connecting like-things to like-things in the following manner:
Flasher B0 <-> Keyboard RESET
Flasher B1 <-> Keyboard B1 (SCLK)
Flasher B2 <-> Keyboard B2 (MOSI)
Flasher B3 <-> Keyboard B3 (MISO)
Flasher VCC <-> Keyboard VCC
Flasher GND <-> Keyboard GND
### Teensy 2.0
## The ISP Firmware
Teensy B0 <-> Keyboard RESET
Teensy B1 <-> Keyboard B1 (SCLK)
Teensy B2 <-> Keyboard B2 (MOSI)
Teensy B3 <-> Keyboard B3 (MISO)
Teensy VCC <-> Keyboard VCC
Teensy GND <-> Keyboard GND
Make sure your keyboard is unplugged from any device, and plug in your Teensy.
### Pro Micro
1. Run Arduino after you have everything installed
2. Select `Tools > Board * > Teensy 2.0`
3. Click `File > Examples > 11.ArduinoISP > ArduinoISP`
Pro Micro 10 (B6) <-> Keyboard RESET
Pro Micro 15 (B1) <-> Keyboard B1 (SCLK)
Pro Micro 16 (B2) <-> Keyboard B2 (MOSI)
Pro Micro 14 (B3) <-> Keyboard B3 (MISO)
Pro Micro VCC <-> Keyboard VCC
Pro Micro GND <-> Keyboard GND
Then scroll down until you see something that looks like this block of code:
## The ISP Firmware (now pre-compiled)
// Configure which pins to use:
The only difference between the .hex files below is which pin is connected to RESET. You can use them on other boards as well, as long as you're aware of the pins being used.
// The standard pin configuration.
#ifndef ARDUINO_HOODLOADER2
#define RESET 0 // Use 0 (B0) instead of 10
#define LED_HB 11 // Use 11 (LED on the Teensy 2.0)
#define LED_ERR 8 // This won't be used unless you have an LED hooked-up to 8 (D3)
#define LED_PMODE 7 // This won't be used unless you have an LED hooked-up to 7 (D2)
And make the changes in the last four lines. If you're using something besides the Teensy 2.0, you'll want to choose something else that makes sense for `LED_HB`. We define `RESET` as `0`/`B0` because that's what's close - if you want to use another pin for some reason, [you can use the pinouts to choose something else](https://www.pjrc.com/teensy/pinout.html).
Once you've made your changes, you can click the Upload button (right arrow), which will open up the Teensy flasher app - you'll need to press the reset button on the Teensy the first time, but after that, it's automatic (you shouldn't be flashing this more than once, though). Once flashed, the orange LED on the Teensy will flash on and off, indicating it's ready for some action.

* Pro Micro: [`util/pro_micro_ISP_B6.hex`](https://github.com/qmk/qmk_firmware/blob/master/util/pro_mico_ISP_B6.hex) (`B6`)
## The `.hex` File
Before flashing your firmware, you're going to need to and do a little preparation. We'll be appending [this bootloader (also a .hex file)](https://github.com/qmk/qmk_firmware/blob/master/util/bootloader_atmega32u4_1_0_0.hex) to the end of our firmware by opening the original .hex file in a text editor, and removing the last line, which should be `:00000001FF` (this is an EOF message). After that's been removed, copy the entire bootloader's contents and paste it at the end of the original file, and save it.
If you just want to get things back to normal, you can flash only a bootloader from [`util/` folder](https://github.com/qmk/qmk_firmware/tree/master/util), and use your normal process to flash the firmware. If you'd like to do both at the same time, you can follow the directions below:
It's possible to use other bootloaders here in the same way, but __you need a bootloader__, otherwise you'll have to ISP to write new firmware to your keyboard.
To flash both your bootloader and firmware at the same time, we need to append [a bootloader (also a .hex file)](https://github.com/qmk/qmk_firmware/blob/master/util/bootloader_atmega32u4_1_0_0.hex) (atmega32u4 only - other bootloaders are available in the [`util/` folder](https://github.com/qmk/qmk_firmware/tree/master/util)) to the end of our firmware by opening the original .hex file in a text editor, and removing the last line, which should be `:00000001FF` (this is an EOF message). After that's been removed, copy the entire bootloader's contents onto a new line (with no empty lines between) and paste it at the end of the original file, and save it.
It's possible to use other bootloaders here in the same way, but __you need a bootloader__, otherwise you'll have to use ISP again to write new firmware to your keyboard.
