Search in the reference manual about the BOOT pin which is like a OS select at boot of a PC, when reset is released, the boot pin allows the core to start differently from the flash user code (and sometime enable reflashing when the user code is going AWOL)

I found the boot pin and try high and also low(gnd) bu nothing happen. I also give high and low(different time) NRST pin but again nothing happened.

Again; i try firmware update, and it's successfully but mass storage is full.

I try erase mcu and program cannot connect.

I try reset wia boot pin high and low, also NRST pin high and low.

I also do downgrade the older firmware, mass storage is change but again 32 or 16 KB but not 500.

Possible you've blown out the STM32F4 part. What were you doing immediately before you noticed the issue?

Can you measure 3V on VDD and NRST? Can you measure 1.25V on VCAP pins?

I do something and board run as normally except mcu get very hot.

I connect to 5V power out to the IOREF pin and do nothing if it's connect board work fine but remove the cable turns faulty again. Maybe this help to figure out what happened the board.
