Error when trying to OTA update #160

Hello. I tried to update my station on TTGO from version 1.0.4.2 to version 1.0.5.1 via Ota update. Screenshot_2024-08-17-17-50-37-710_com opera browser-edit

When sending the file ota_update.bin I received this error. So it is impossible to update the firmware via Ota? Screenshot_2024-08-17-18-01-21-452_com opera browser-edit Screenshot_2024-08-17-17-50-20-823_com opera browser-edit

Did you mean this file? Screenshot_2024-08-17-18-30-20-584_com ghisler android TotalCommander-edit

I can't do it today because station installed outside of my QTH.

richonguzman commented 1 month ago

The same error: "Upload failed Could Not Activate The Firmware"

richonguzman commented 1 month ago

but if you power it off and then on does it run?

I also tried to update via OTA for version 1.0.5 There is also an error, but a different one. Screenshot_2024-08-17-18-54-54-982_com opera browser-edit

Just now send command for reboot by UI. Station has rebooted and started without problems. But firmware is old.

richonguzman commented 1 month ago

so at reboot works with old firmware as normal, but when trying the new firmware it does not work with OTA??

can you try again a few times to validate that its not a wifi speed or distance problem?

Now I took an identical TTGO board and flashed it via a web installer with erasing to version 1.0.4.2 and via OTA updated to version 1.0.5.1 without errors. Apparently, something bugged on my remotely installed station when I updated it from version 1.0.2 via OTA to 1.0.4.2. I will have to dismantle it and flash it cleanly to 1.0.5.1 And immediately another question: is it necessary to upload the spiffs.bin file to the board in addition to the firmware during OTA update?

no need to upload spiffs.bin
