I was doing some range testing with two tbeams and wanted to pull up the rangetest.csv file. In order to do this, I saw I could connect to the node via wifi connection in order to download the file, since I’m still having issues with the flasher from my last thread. After changing my tbeam to wifi mode, and then setting the wifi SSID, I was unable to send the command for the PSK. The screen of the tbeam starting flashing on the opening screen, showing only the “meshtastic.org” screen, blacking out for a millisecond and then showing the screen again for about 5 seconds. I cannot connect via serial in any way to change the settings back, and I cannot connect to the node with the client. Again, Im still unable to use the flasher, although since serial isnt working I would assume that wouldnt either. How can I reset this node or get it out of wifi mode? or is this node just a goner from one command?
EDIT: I should note that I am using TTGO TBEAMS on 1.3.45 FM
After getting the serial --noproto to work, but no other commands, this is the log:

And this script is repeated indefinitely each time the screen flickers
I resolved the issue by flashing a newer software, I’m sure reflashing would work the same.
