Re: V3 Flasher never Formats

I might be wrong but posssibly the formatter is more an integration of an external product than something Mike has complete control over, plus trying to fix something that happens on a remote windows pc is probably a million times harder than the known (or at least relatively uniformn) environment that an esp8266 occupies. (A VERY long time ago i was responsible for IT for a company with kit in about 200 locations, only cenrral site had any paid IT people. We used a lot of PCs, but only larger branches used them for other than terminal access, using a dead simple, completely standardised dos platform. One tiny text file was all the config it needed. One day i overheard a support call, they were trying to fix something but all seemed out of whack with hw and sw inventory. and found the tech guys imaging the pcs were leaving windows on because" there was no cost, it came free with the pcs. " windows free, remote staff loading stuff from magazines with no testing, no licence management, no clue. Then moving kit from site sto site when they moved, because it had their stuff on it. Result - chaos. .. and that was when stuff was much simpler. And mimiscool doesnt know what it ever looked like:-) Anyway...
Doing some testing a while back i reloaded the original expessif software. Iirc their formatter worked ok. Maybe you could format and then reload the latest basic?process worked for me, though i didnt have your level of issues... didnt know the forum supported pm - could you point me in the right direction please?
All good fun....
