Error 10: could not mount filesystem - stuck

Issues

Hi guys,

I upgraded my bulb using the minimal uploader as it only has 1M of Flash. This went fine and i loaded the 1M (wled file WLED_0.12.0_ESP8266_1M.bin) via the UI. Also went fine and WLED loads however when i try to do anything i get the error:

Error 10: could not mount filesystem

Followed by:

SyntaxError: UnexpectedToken in JSON at position <0

I am able to set the WIFI and connect via AP or my wifi, but any power off or reboot, sets everything back to default. I tried doing a “Factory reset” but comes back with the same errors.

Is there a way i can reflash the bulb OTA, e.g. load the “minimum uploader” again via Arduino IDE and then reflash wled? Currently it doesnt show as a port in the IDE so not sure on any next steps.

Thanks
James

Your flashing was not ok. Reconnect to serial and flash again, erasing flash at first.

That was my assumption! However I used the “minimum uploader” as i was coming from a custom sketch. Is there anyway to enable flashing via IDE OTA as currently the bulb isnt showing up as a port in the Arduino one?

No. Until you serially flash it, it is bricked.

I have posted a procedure to successfully update 1MB ESPs OTA.
