1 month ago another reason to reflash 7.4 is https://github.com/Koenkk/zigbee2mqtt/discussions/21462
they deprecated ezsp driver for the new ember one which needs EZSP13:
To keep things simple, this driver currently only supports EmberZNet firmware 7.4.x (EZSP 13), older versions will not be supported. Initially, multi-protocol will also not be supported as this is not considered stable yet.

1 month ago same issue in #83 but I really not sure what is causing this, I have not been able to reproduce myself.
One thing you could try is to wipe NVME by flashing: https://github.com/xsp1989/zigbeeFirmware/blob/master/firmware/Zigbee3.0_Dongle-NoSigned/EZSP/nvm3_initfile.gbl
The after that try flash again my firmware.

1 month ago I also had issues flashing 7.4.x. I did the following (in this order) and was successful for some reason...
I guess I was lucky.. Not sure where things go wrong.

1 month ago If you previously had a 230400 firmware installed on dongle you need additional flags to univeral-silabs-flasher for the flash to work. However apart from that, there is no difference between any images you listed in terms of flashing that would cause some to work and others to fail.
On a side note, generally recommend NCP 115200 or Thread 460800 buadrates. There is no evidence at this point that the 230400 baud really improves anything.

What are these flags. Maybe they help me!

--bootloader-reset sonoffIs should be enough, but you already tried that?
The following is required to probe a running ncp 230400 firmware:
--ezsp-baudrate 230400Did you try flash nvm3_init.gbl?

Yes, its just trigger the Bootmode. And that's my problem. the device ist immediately in Bootmode. It never start the NCP App.
The following is required to probe a running ncp 230400 firmware:
--ezsp-baudrate 230400
As mentions. No NCP is running.
Did you try flash
nvm3_init.gbl?
Yes, via web, Terminal, shell and SecureCRT.
I'm now ordering a new Sonoff or SMLIGHT SLZB-06M...

Didn't have time to test this. Will I loose all devices when doing the init?

It will wipe devices off device. You can however backup with zigpy-cli beforehand and restore afterwards.

Once would have been sufficient, then flash NCP again?

1 month ago Success!!!
Thank you so much for the hint of erasing the nvm!
I did the following: Started with a running firmware from https://github.com/xsp1989/zigbeeFirmware/blob/master/firmware/Zigbee3.0_Dongle-NoSigned/EZSP/ncp-uart-sw_7.3.1.0_115200.gbl
stopped all services using the stick (zigbee2mqtt in my case)
did a backup with bellows (pip install bellows)
bellows -d /dev/ttyACM0 -b 115200 backup | tee bellow.backup.json
flashed the nvm3 cleaner
universal-silabs-flasher --device /dev/ttyACM0 --bootloader-reset sonoff flash --firmware nvm3_initfile.gbl
checked if running with bellows
bellows -d /dev/ttyACM0 -b 115200 info
now you should see there is no joined network (because we erased it)
flashed the 7.4x version from this repo
universal-silabs-flasher --device /dev/ttyACM0 --bootloader-reset sonoff flash --firmware ncp-uart-hw-v7.4.2.0-zbdonglee-115200.gbl
again check if stick is booting correctly with
bellows -d /dev/ttyACM0 -b 115200 info
now it should look the same as above but with new version, but still no joined network
now restore the config:
bellows -d /dev/ttyACM0 -b 115200 restore -B bellow.backup.json
check again
bellows -d /dev/ttyACM0 -b 115200 info
now i am back in my network (joined)
start zigbee2mqtt and cross fingers
done :rocket:

Good to hear its now working, I think this has happened before for users migrating from xsp1989 firmwares.
Hi!
I have a
Bus 001 Device 008: ID 1a86:55d4 QinHeng Electronics SONOFF Zigbee 3.0 USB Dongle Plus V2aka zbdongleeI used the command:
universal-silabs-flasher --device /dev/ttyACM0 --bootloader-reset sonoff flash --firmware ./ncp-uart-hw-v7.4.2.0-zbdonglee-115200.gblIt always reported success, but the stick got stuck in bootloader.
I also tried the webflasher which reported success, but same effect. Not booting the EZSP App.
when I flash the firmware from https://github.com/xsp1989/zigbeeFirmware/blob/master/firmware/Zigbee3.0_Dongle-NoSigned/EZSP/ncp-uart-sw_7.3.1.0_115200.gbl it works.
I dont know what's the difference. xsp1989 has no firmware for 7.4.x so I wanted to flash the one over here...
