Oaks not updating

[TravisF]

I just tried all my oaks again and they still won't download the firmware. My serial to USB adapter came in finally today so I'm trying the OakRestore but I'm running into a problem with that too. When I run the esptool command line it just gives a fatal error and says it couldn't connect to the ESP8266. Before it returns that I can see the LED on the adapter blinking like it is trying to talk to the Oak but then fails. I know the adapter is working because if I set the baud rate to 74880 and disconnect pin 2 from ground I get this:

But then when I connect pin 2 to ground and try running the esptool program it can't connect:

Thanks for trying them again TravisF

A bad connection can cause that error, even if it is working to show the bootloader output - could be a bad USB TX to OAK RX connection (not used for boot message) or another one being flaky

[TravisF]

The correct pin to ground is the one labeled RST, right? I went ahead and soldered the headers on all 3 of my oaks but I'm getting the same error with all of them

[digistump]

Pin 2 should go to GND - meaning the pin labeled P2 on the back of the Oak - right next to the P3/RX pin

[TravisF]

OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

P2/SCL? I'll try that one now

It's flashing!

And a third time it just rebooted without saying anything:

(Posting my logs @ https://github.com/digistump/OakCore/issues/47)

One thing that sticks out to me -- The ./+./+ sequence is really inconsistent. Sometimes it crawls, sometimes it fills the line almost immediately.

[digistump]

Thank you both - I was able to duplicate this and I"m working on it now

[digistump]

If either of you can retest I'd be interested to know if it is working for you now - note you will need to re-download oakupdate_restore.bin from the repository

[tdk337]

When you say not updating I'm assuming you mean you received an error message while registering your Oak to Particle.io via webconfig tool located at http://rawgit.com/digistump/OakSoftAP/master/config.html. I've posted my solution at http://digistump.com/board/index.php/topic,1940.msg9203.html#msg9203.

I'll try it as soon as I get home tonight and report back here

Our problem is the firmware won't even finish downloading. Not even making it to the point of it trying to contact particle. Also for what it's worth I've had zero luck running the config.html from github. I have to download it to my computer and run it locally.

This is my attempt to update using http://rawgit.com/digistump/OakSoftAP/master/config.html

Oak is not updated.

I will attempt a force update and inform you how it goes

[TravisF]

No change with the newest oakupdate_restore.bin, still getting the socket timeout
