  For me, it was not the motor attached, but more the change from Android to iOS and then back. Crazy story.... I am happy to have given you some ideas and that your sBricks are working fine now :-)

  V1.5 of the Android SBrick app did it for me somehow!

In the new OTA section I chose "safe" as the flashing method, which still had a motor connected to port D spin like crazy whie flashing, but it led to a blinkind LED during the flash process. Afterwards I disconnected the SBrick and turned Bluetooth on my Sony Z3 Tablet Compact off. Turned everything one, and - no dice, neither the blinkind LED identify feature nor the port tester worked. 
  Next, I got so frustrated that I installed the SBrick app for iOS on my Ipad Air 2, and BAM! The SBrick was found and it worked. I repeated the process with my other non-working SBrick, and it also worked. Since then, interestingly both are now also working from Android.
  So, what is this iOS 'cure'? Is the BT stack in those bricks somehow stuck in talking to the internals, and a new device connection resets it? We cannot know, but hopefully someone at Vengit can use this info to look into it so that others do not run into this trap.

  SBrick firmware upgrade

  I have four SBricks, two of them were immediately unpacked and used to various success, so they got a couple of firmware upgradres over the first weeks after release. After having to stop Lego in general for a couple of weeks, I have now connected them again successfully with my Android Tablet and subsequently upgraded to the latest firmware without problems, they work very nicely with my Sony Xperia Tab Z3 Compact ;-) 
  Then I unpacked my other two ones and they were found by the tablet and upgraded (LED was not blinking during the process; I associated this behaviour with the initial LED behaviour that was a bit strange). After the app confirmed successful flash, the SBricks are not working. Reenabling bluetooth, rebooting the tab and of course rebooting the Bricks is not successful. The Bricks can be found in the app, but neither LED identification or port checking works (LED stays on, no movement on connected motors). The first two units that were in-between updated continue to work...    less
