What happened?

After flashing the ESP32 with the newest available 0.16.0 nighty binary the log console shows

which repeats forever.

The used board is sourced from Aliexpress and appears to be ESP-32D Wifi+BT/N4XX with the following chip Info

• Chip Family: ESP32
• Chip Model: ESP32-D0WDQ5-V3 (revision 3)
• Number of Cores: 2
• Max CPU Frequency: 240MHz
• Has Bluetooth: YES
• Has Embedded Flash: NO
• Has Factory-Calibrated ADC: YES
  Uploading stub...
  Running stub...
  Stub running...
  Changing baud rate to 460800
  Changed.
• Flash Size: 4MB
• Flash Mode: dout
• Flash Frequency: 80MHz

The newest pre-release version (link) has this issue, using an older version (link) fixes it.

To Reproduce Bug

In order to reproduce this issue you just need to flash the aforementioned software on to the ESP (I tried EspTools in the macOS Terminal via Python3 and the ESP flasher dev MacOS) and observer the logs which will repeat indefinitely. Clearing the Flash or factory resetting via EspTools did not influence this issue in any way.

Expected Behavior

The logs in the flasher window will simply show the segment you can find below and loop this forever until the serial port is closed. No WLED-AP Network appears and no output to LEDs is observed. When using the web installer nothing apart from showing an endless preparing installation screen.

Install Method

Binary from WLED.me

What version of WLED?

WLED 0.16.0 alpha V4 (20250818)

Which microcontroller/board are you seeing the problem on?

ESP32
