the devs know all the secrets,

but if you have a serial-console to the esp, you could try typing in there the command: "erase" (only this letters),

another one:

Code: Select all

If RX and TX tied together, perform emergency reset to get the system out of boot loops

Thanks.
How about writing the wiki about the things you can do with a serial connection?

If you have access to a linux machine, connect it up and use the esptool script:

esptool.py --port /dev/ttyUSB0 erase_flash

This basically formats the flash, you also have to reupload the firmware. This cleared my settings which were not cleared by serial commands. Also fixed wdt reset crashing due to some corruption in the flash memory.
