Re: Mega (V2.0.0) OTA firmware updates on 1MB modules

Current releases are too big for OTA (2 step procedure for 1Mb units). We need to rethink how to support those units. They need to be physically attached using cable and serial programming to be updated. Sorry for any inconveniences but hopefully we can think of something. What would be helpful is ...

Re: Sonoff basic OTA firmware update failed - refalshing not working

Are you attempting to flash a dout build?

Are you flashing the intermediate image first?

You cannot flash a new firmware directly due to its size. You need the megaOTAUploader to do it.

You will likely have to flash directly using the serial interface.
