Help with Sonoff flashing

[vbhoj74]

So the CH340 worked like a breeze, flashed in one go and the SSID came up in a minute. So it was the FTDI issue for me.

this is the one I bought and works for me:

Hi vbhoj74,

Good to hear!

I'm glad for you that it was not your module's serial flash but the usb-serial adapter.

I had a similar problem when flashing a sonoff esp8266 module with 1M RAM. The espeasy flashing tool flash.cmd and flashesp8266.exe didnt indicate any error when uploading binaries but the ESP_0 AP never showed up after.
The only way to upload I found was the https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B3dUKf ... sp=sharing
ESP8266_flasher . Using this one, I could sucessfull flash ESPEasy_v2.0.0 mega binaries as well as the older R120 or R148.

Hi everyone,
I have the same issue discussed here. I have tried a lot of things and firmwares with no luck.
I just want to add that firmwares Tasmota or Espeasy is not working on my sonoff basic device except this one:

This is Russian one but there in description is link to sketch.
Might be someone smarter can tell why this one is working on sonoff basic and other ones (Tsmota or Espeasy) - not.
P.S. My FTDI module is this one: CH340 USB to ESP8266 ESP-01 Wifi Module
and this one: CP2102 USB 2.0 to TTL UART Module 6Pin Serial Converter
And they flashing the same good.

Guys, don't know if this will help your issues, having used Sonoff relays for ages with no issues, two more arrived recently. I couldn't get either to flash with standalone programs, had to use Arduino IDE and set the flash mode to DOUT.

Seems the flash chips in the new ones are different to my old ones which happily worked on DIN.

I don't know if there's good reason or just chance but may be worth a try.

good luck!

Today I have got luck flashing Espurna to sonoff basic relays. Espurna works great. And you know it works "out of the box" with Amazon Alexa just need to set up names of your relays, wifi and thats it.
I must worn you that flashed and setted up relays must be left for a while to settle and after that you can ask Alexa to find new devices.
I have used exe flasher from espeasy 2 and bin file from Espurna. Downladed from github espeasy 2 zip, unarchived. Downloaded Espurna 1.9.2 and put file in to espeasy folder where other bin files. Run flasher. Choose com port and Espurna file an flash.
I would be happy if I helped someone because I was in trouble by myself for a long time.

Thanks to share your experience but I'm not sure you noticed this is ESPEasy forum not Espurna forum
