Hi can you help? Bought stupid LEDVANCE lamp paid a lot, and it can not be added to tuya cloud... so decided to flash your fw. But before flashing i want t read current fw, but it fails :( Wires are short, all good. but getting error.

UART-TO USB is CH340

Backup name is set to dd. Starting read! Now is: Saturday, September 23, 2023 01:54:46. Flasher mode: BK7231T Going to open port: COM7. Serial port open! Getting bus... (now, please do reboot by CEN or by power off/on) Getting bus success! Going to set baud rate setting (115200)! Going to start reading at offset 0x00... Reading 0x00... Ok! Reading 0x1000... CheckRespond_FlashRead4K: ERROR Failed! There was no result to save.

Sorry it was my fault. You said in many places USE external power ch340 can not deliver needed current..i ignored it...and only after i connected external 3.3v - everything worked :)
