Greetings all.
I just wired up a BLtouch that I received directly from Creality, disabled the z endstop and updated to the latest firmware.
The Bltouch cycles twice, then stays lit red. The printer does not function anymore at that point and will not move. I revert back to the initial firmware and disconnect the bltouch and the printer works again. I have tried several times, and even traced the connections to make sure they matched and still nothing.
Thoughs?

You don't say which printer model you have.
Take a look at the Smith3D firmware page. It shows correct connections and their firmware (IMO) is the best for the job.
It's an Ender 3 V2.
@valenhart did you flash the correct firmware? Do you have a 4.2.2 or 4.2.7 board?
@spacelab You nailed it. it was a 4.2.2 and I was flashing the 4.2.7. Seems to be functioning now. Thanks all for the help.
