Sonoff basic OTA firmware update failed - refalshing not working

#1 Post by MRTjilie » 22 Mar 2018, 11:22

I attempt an OTA firmware update and it failed on 'fail' version number.

Reflash firware over cable will not work, web-page is not comming up
Was running ESP_Easy_v2.0-20180202_normal_ESP8266.bin

Reflashed several different firmware versions but no web-page comming up.

How can I make the sonoff basic work again

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.
N00b to the world of ESPEasy, but I've been programming since the days of punch cards and paper tape :)

I do not untherstand what you mean

I flash with a serial cable (FTDI) from a linux laptop

Grovkillen is it like this:
From OTA I select ESPEasyUploaderMega_1024 followed by selecting the latest version of espeasy?

I did the following to solve this issue:

erase flash with command:
sudo python esptool.py --port /dev/ttyUSB0 --baud 115200 erase_flash

and flashed ESP_Easy_v2.0-20180321_normal_ESP8266_1024.bin with command:
sudo python esptool.py -b 115200 --port /dev/ttyUSB0 write_flash 0x0000 ESP_Easy_v2.0-20180321_normal_ESP8266_1024.bin

now everything is working again
