A8 brick - kid - 03-18-2026
Hi, unfortunately the flashing of the Kincony A8 failed. I flashed a compiled esphome bin file. It stopped always after a few percent. I tried multiple cables and an different baud rates. No success and now it is not responding anymore / seems bricked. I was working from a linux device:
flash.pdf (Size: 74.75 KB / Downloads: 15)
It is the first time ever I had such an issue with an esp device. And I use them a lot - with WLED, custom procects etc. Is there maybe something wrong with the pcb design?
I hoped by buying a more expensive relais board to get not into trouble.

maybe need replace esp32 module. if you want use A8, suggest order A8v3 new version, it use by ESP32S3, it's better.

I just tried again to upload the bin file via your upload tool from windows. For whatever reason it worked. Puh.
