LILYGO TTGO LORA SX1278 ESP32 V1.3 firmware issue/question

I received LORA32 v1.3 and LORA 32 v2.1 devices today.

For the v2 board the firmware installation went well, I can connect to the app, seems all good :slight_smile:

For the v1 board I am having difficulties installing the latest firmware (firmware-tlora-v1-1.2.11.bin). I run

python -m esptool --baud 921600 write_flash 0x10000 firmware-tlora-v1-1.2.11.bin
esptool.py v3.0

but the display won’t turn on after restarting. The red LED is flashing and it seems not to show as a bluetooth device. Also:

Timed out waiting for connection completion

There was some other firmware on it before and when I turned it on for the first time there was some output on the display. So I am sure the hardware/display is okay.

It seems that I picket the wrong firmware for this board, or I ordered the wrong board that might not even be supported. How can I find out?
