Did you set the baud rate in Termite to 115200 ?
Are you seeing any 'Readable Text' in Termite ?
If so go back read my earlier post...
(You need to see the text output as Sonoff is first powered)

Dear Users of this forum

You have been very helpfull to me to solve my problem
of the possible bricked sonof s20.

I let you know how I worked it out.

At first to solve the lock of the com port I used the
FTDI with the power and ground and shorted for a
second the rx and tx pins of the sonoff.

Now I can reach the sonoff again. The serial output
was totaly nothing.
I cleared the memory with the programm of espressif
ande the internal commands.
Then I loaded the blank.bin and after that I cleaned again
with the espressif tool.
After this I loaded the espeasy bin with the tool from Tungsten
In that tool I put the data of the wifi to contact with and marked
also the force DOUT.

At the end on the screen came the message of the loading and the
IP number 192.168.4.1 But this adress could not been reached by
the ping. Also where there the messages of the serial commands to
the wifi name and password.

After this I disconnected the FTDI and put the s20 sonoff in the
powerbox for electricity. I saw on my telephone for the first time
the esp easy 0 again. But it had not the ip adress 192.168.4.1.
The adress it had was 192.168.244.1.

After contacting this adress in the browser I could give up the wifi
network and password and than the sonoff s20 was available for use.

All setting where available and working.

Thank You all for thinking with me and the variable solutions where
given in wich a combination of them where effective to get it working
again. And I have learned a lot of the sonoff.

@TD-er please als add a warning that flashing on Wemos D1 min from v2.0 to mega will also very likely fail and brick the device.
