Flashing a custom Firmware to Sonoff DIY devices, from the factory firmware about espbuddy

[soif]

as I feared, the ota_flash endpoint only accepts a local URL ( on the LAN), and silently ignore externals urls.
So first download the firmware to a local webserver, and use this URL to flash!

[soif]

use the latest 2.05b2 version
espbuddy.php self update 2.05b2

Then try adding the -P Option at the end of the flash command, and please report if it work 🍺

Hi,

Thanks for the tool but even with OTA unlock successful message I cant flash my device?

Any help please?

Thanks,

[soif]

it means OTA has NOT been unlocked (while the device doesnt first report any error) ,

try to reboot the device, and send the unlock command again.

You can check if if has been really unlocked, using the sonodiy info command.

If it still failed, it might be the Sonof factory version which need to be updated first, or may be they changed the way the unlock command work in recent firmwares.
I dont know, and can not help anymore. You'll have to investigate

If you make any progress, please be kind to report it here to help others, by opening a NEW issue, regarding this specific topic, or even better, push a PR.

senadaruc - did you ever get your Sonoff to flash? I'm having the same problem with a Sonoff mini r2.
