Failed to read (broken?) config

[ahaupt]

Hi,

I had an older version running for almost 2 years. Then I was hit by #1034 and flashed the current firmware (NRZ-2024-135/DE). After adapting the configuration once after the re-flashing, I cannot change the configuration any longer. There's something wrong:

airRohr: NRZ-2024-135/DE
mounting FS...
opened config file...
parsing json: IncompleteInput
failed to load json config
failed to open config file.
No Next PM... serialSDS 9600 8N1
output debug text to displays...
Connecting to Freifunk-disabled
........................................
output debug text to displays...
Starting WiFiManager
AP ID: airRohr-xxxxxxxx
Password: airrohrcfg
scan for wifi networks...
AP Password is: airrohrcfg
Starting Webserver... (IP unset)

Somehow the configuration is broken and I cannot fix it. How can I completely delete it? Re-flashing the firmware does not help at all.

Thanks,
Andreas

If you use the official airrohr firmware flasher (do not use the BETA version) there is an option to erase flash before flashing the firmware. That should completely erase any existing and most likely corrupt configurations.

Thanks a lot! Indeed, using the firmware flasher fixed the problem!

Would it be a problem to document the esptool options it is using to do the actual flashing? The flasher tool is a bit tricky to build as the requirement file refers to Python module versions that are incompatible with at least my Ubuntu-22.04 Python.
