Tasmota Download Issues

[wbrian63]

Used the Tasmota downloader to attempt to load tasmota32.bin to my new KC868-A4.

Web page shows download successful, but after disconnecting and restoring power, there is no web server showing up. Further, the reset button doesn't cause anything to happen like it did before I downloaded the file.

What do I do now?

I've watched the video, and unfortunately, several of the sites you visited are no longer valid links.

I did find the site for ESP-Flasher. Executable is several years old, and my anti-virus software says it's infected with a PUP virus...

I've found and copied the tasmota32.bin file from GitHub, and I've tried to use the online Tasmota installer from the Tasmota website (tasmota.github.io/install) - it says everything went well during the installation, but when I power-cycle the device, it doesn't show up in my wifi list of available connections.

I've also tried the Tasmotizer - most recent build is also several years old. It gives an error: Invalid Head of Packet (0x46)...

I'm using a 10a 12v power supply, so there shouldn't be an issue with power.

I'll try to run the installation again...

Thanks for your help up to this point.

Got it to work - needed to use tasmota32.factory.bin

Thanks!
