Hello,

Not really sure what files and what addresses should i use when flashing newest version.
I am trying according this documentation, https://nodemcu.readthedocs.io/en/dev/e ... x-firmware

I have this downloaded esp_init_data_default.bin (file size: 128 bytes) and i used custom build nodemcu-master-7-modules-2016-07-08-17-18-11-integer.bin (file size: 380 928 bytes)

Should i leave first line flasher default? ( i am not really sure what is that)
What second and third line should be used?

So i use ESP-01 : it should be 512kb, 26Mhz, and i use 9600boundrate, QIO mode when flashing
but when i try to flash it shows 4Mb in first window at the right bottom corner.

I tried this configuration which did not worked(which gives Error:Write flash timeout. ):

I can only help you with esptool as I don't use Windows. It's a (long) one-liner:

Code: Select allesptool.py write_flash --port <USB-port-with-ESP8266> -fm qio -fs 4m 0x00000 nodemcu-master-7-modules-2016-07-08-17-18-11-integer.bin 0x7c000 esp_init_data_default.bin

Thanks for such quick answer, but that did not helped. This also resulted as timeout.
upgrading firmware sucks. Should i use INTERNAL://NODEMCU ? or should i replace it by something...
I think order matters and that cloud build package should be last. I tried restarting but same result.
Don't really want to guess how to upgrade, documentation mentions that blank.bin file should be uploaded on same cases. but what cases are those?

As I said, I don't use Windows and therefore I've never used the NodeMCU Flasher. Install Python if it's not on your system already and try esptool with the command I prepared for you.
