#57750 Are you going to use LUA for your coding or the Arduino IDE? If using LUA then I can't remember what would fix your situation except maybe try updating the firmware again. It could have failed the first time. If your wanting to use the IDE then just open the IDE program and use the Blink example and upload it to the chip. Make sure you download the ESP8266 boards using the board manager and then select the NodeMCU v1.0 port and the correct port. When I got my 2 new NodeMCU boards which look exactly like yours I didn't worry about the firmware, I just immediately uploaded a Arduino IDE example and no problems.

#57752 I wanted to use LUA, because many things (like WiFi and server implementations) are already written, so I don't have to worry about my own implementation & I can even make software updates on the fly from WiFi.

Well, if noone can help with, then I'll stick to arduino, which is still better than nothing :D
