Description
Hi, excellent work. Server and web page work just fine.
However, I'm trying to use custom_dlc.py to upload a DLC to my Furby Connect. (server not running to allow connection).
It presents %done during the uploading but I don't see any change in my Furby. I tried the Hacked.dlc expecting to get some confirmation of success but nothing happened after the program closed. I did increase the sleep to 30s after 'Activating DLC' but nothing happened.
The debug 6 screen shows no changes (I had it visible throughout).
Others have had success so I guess it's just me (or my Furby) - I have read loads of repos and tried other dlc uploaders to no avail.
I guess I'm not getting my Furby into a state to accept an upload of a DLC.
What is the preferred sequence of actions required to make this work please?
BTW, why is the default slot set at #2? I have tried a variety of slots with no effect.
I would appreciate some hints on how to do this please.
Thanks.

Research direction
Start with custom_dlc.py and trace the upload sequence through the “Activating DLC” step, using the debug 6 screen and Hacked.dlc reproduction described in the report. Compare the expected device state and slot handling with the existing uploader behavior; done means identifying why the Furby does not accept the upload or documenting the required action sequence.
