I have tried lualoader by GeoNomad as well as lualoader by Hari Wiguna and esplorer with similar results. baudrate does not seem to be the issue. I have tried various pin setups such as; http://www.areresearch.net/2015/05/flas ... odule.html and http://i.imgur.com/Gts8osf.jpg. the wiring on the second link seems to work for uploading the firmware but not uploading lua to the esp8266.
My powersupply is very beefy as well, this should not be the issue.
