I've tried to flash the firmware v1.93 on the ESP8266, which has worked just fine previously, and got this: see below

This is the second time this happens on an ESP8266. When trying to connect to the chip anyways, it just fires random bs constantly.

does anybody know how to solve this?

EDIT: Oh , and of course i've tried it multiple times

Might pay to do an erase flash first and then try reflashing?

Which ESP8266 board is it? If it's an ESP01 you might need to change the flash addresses as it has less flash available than the 4M boards

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
